if your monitor has displayport support you can get a mini-DP to DP connector instead. they are significantly cheaper than an active minidp to dvi connector.

The sapphire flex edition can supposedly work without using one of the mini-display ports for output on the 3rd monitor in eyefinity. I am not sure how well it lives up to it's claim, but I have purchased this card and I can report back in a couple of days after I receive it.

As for avoiding ...

This does work. You just have to make sure the mini-dp to DVI adapter is an active adapter. I have this exact same setup and it did not work until I got an active mini-dp to dvi adapter.

Hi guys, I feel like I think this is the best place to post this as I feel like I am digging myself deeper and deeper into an obscure niche by going with a cross-finity setup, and normal solutions just do not seem to apply to me.

I have two 6950's, an Asus EAH6950 2GB, and a reference 2GB 6950 ...

try disabling the monitor group and recreating it. I use the exact same setup (3x1 Portrait + 1 extended monitor) and it seems to be a hit or miss each time I update drivers. My guess is there are some residual settings that are not properly cleared each time the drivers are updated.
