Hi, I've gone the passive DP to VGA route with a 5770 card, all working fine for months now. Can someone enlighten me how you achieve the same setup if I buy a 6000 series card at some point, I notice they use miniDP ports instead of the standard DP port. My monitors have DVI and VGA ports only. Does the same trick work if I adapt my DP passive adapter to miniDP and then connect it to the VGA port on the 3rd monitor???? |

Some cards has miniDP to DP adapters included, like this one SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870. Also some manufacturers will use standard DP port instead of miniDP on non-reference cards. (Waiting for 69XX with more than 1GB of memory) |
