Anyway there are not much active adapters on market . Dell /blizzlink (=accell ) /sapphire look them and get cheapest one. Good luck

quite sure, i mean hell - if the high end cards need an adaptor since they dont have the third timing thingo, of course the low end cards wont

thats my point - they include a VGA port which you CANT get an active adaptor for.

Need help advice with setup

Hello everyone I need your tech advice , I am building a PCATD ( PC based aviation training device ) for our aviation school and got a healthy research grant to set it up
I have bought a grunty PC i7 950 with TWO! radeon 5970 cards and three 37 inch LG LCD screens ( only hassle is these screens only have HDMI input no displayport input) , THe issue is that i think i need a mini display port to HDMI converter for the third screen to achieve true eyefinity. I have got two screens running off the two DVI ports with eyefinity no probs. Connecting the third screen to one of the dvi ports on the second 5970 card wont work. The interestinf thing is that all the forums say you need an active display port to DVI connector ( active as in USB powered ) , However all of the ATI approved ,mini display port to HDMI adapters are passive and dont need power . Is this correct ? will a minidisplay port to HDMI give me that third screen eyefinity screen . Or will i have to buy an active display port to DVI connector and then convert it to HDMI
any ideas woudl be most appreciated
