Will this work?

Hello there I was just wondering if this monitor would be a good one for cheap Eyefinity - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-019-PH&groupid=17&catid=949&subcat=

I plan on buying 3 and just wanted to know if they would work.
P.S would i need an adapter of some kind?

Thanks,
Mr.Mccoy.

You would need a displayport to DVI active adapter - http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=4&gid=1010&sgid=1011&pid=357&psn=&lid=1&leg=0

If your using one ATI card?

Well Eyefinity is ATI only. so from that it wont work.

To use nvidia surround (three screens) you need two nvidia cards in SLI.

Well you have these two,

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-128-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

Or theres this FLEX card,

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-272-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

Which doesnt need an adapter, and has all sorts of cables and converters supplied.

So would it be best to go with the FLEX card or the most powerful?

The FLEX card is the simplest solution as you then dont have to hunt for and buy a Active adapter which are around £20'ish

It is, but you will need to find an "active" not "passive" adapter.
