What connector do I need? (New GPU)

Just got a new GPU, so connections to my monitors have changed slightly.

Used to run a 7970 Lightning so used:
2x DVI (single link)
1x miniDisplayPort with Active adapter to DVI


Now I have a 290, so I have the following ports:
2x DVI-D (dual link)
1x DisplayPort


I presume I still need an active adapter for 3 screens/eyefinity ? This is the one thing I'm not sure about.

So I need a DisplayPort to DVI (Active) rather than miniDisplayPort to DVI (Active).

They also seem hard to find - anyone got any recommendations? I have HDMI available but would rather not use it.

Cheers.
