These have been around for years. What's special about this one?

That PowerColor gets your money instead now, lol!

But seriously though, this one looks nice and compact + it's to DVI instead of VGA.
Only worth it if it cost ~US$20, like the DP->VGA adapters though (some of which work up to 1920x1200). Not gonna pay 100 bucks for nothing, just because it's a different port.

This dead simple adapter should come with all eyefinity capable cards at no extra cost.:shadedshu

Yeah, if PowerColor sold their cards with this for no extra cost, I'd buy one.
I think there just was no such thing when the HD5000s were originally released, thus them not including them with from the start.

Well that's why Sapphire made the 5770 Flex, which has the adapters with it and doesn't actually need active adapters, but yeah I totally agree. We paid a buckload for the likes of 5870s. I can't see why they couldn't throw in a $5 (that's probably how much it's actually worth) for free in the box.

it should be heavy for the little plastic connector of the hd5k , i would have like them to make an extra-large connector that would screw&connect on the two dvi of the 5970 . one dvi being tagged to say where is the connector outputting the sound with use of hdmi connector .
for the eye6 infinity then someting like the powerjack

the HDMI plug i found is at

it was long to see adaptators for the hd5k mini connector .

I wonder how this thing works. From what i understand active adapters need extra power through a USB connection which is absent in the pic....And the power is needed to convert the signal into properly clocked fully-fledged digital signal. I dunno I might be wrong.

IIRC AMD/ATI figured out a way to output single link DVI signals through the DP port.
