Perhaps this video that I see when I built my Eyefinity can help you, or at least give you an idea of how it works. It appears that, with a adapter DP=>VGA should work on Eyefinity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb_PjPG0A_E At the end chooses to buy a monitor with DisplayPort support. |

Display port adapters need to be active the dvi ports on the 6870, one is dvi-i one is dvi-d you must use the dvi-i port with a vga monitor all monitors must connect to a single card |
