XFX ATI Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition, Eyefinity & 3 monitors

[TheBiggles]

Looking at getting the XFX 6870 which is on This Week Only tomorrow and have a few questions.

Been looking at the Eyefinity, mostly because it looked good at Gadget show, and I have 2 x 19" Samsung monitors gathering dust, to go with a 21.5" Samsung monitor which all tile together ok. They all have one DVI and one SVGA input each.

1. Will the XFX put out the correct signals for 3 x DVI inputs or will I need one or more DisplayPort adaptors?

2. Will the resolutions be ok if I do this? I'm mis-matching monitors and I noticed that adapting DisplayPort to DVI had resolution limitations.

TIA

1. You'll need a display port to DVI adapter for the 3rd screen.

2. No problems with different resolutions since with your monitors, if you are using DL-DVI (2560x1600) then watch out for DL/SL adaptors.
