Hi Widescreen-Fellows !
I want to upgrade my GPU and my monitors and have the following question:
If I choose a HD6870 Eyefinity6 and three monitors with display port + two monitors with DVI/HDMI.
Is it correct that i DON'T need any ACTIVE (!) DP adaptors to connect all five monitors?
6870 E6 with 5 Monitors

The "Eyefinity 6" version looks to have 6 mini displayports, so you would need adapters for the DVI only screens.
I use Asus DirectCu II (6950 or 6970) - which has 4 normal sized DP plus 2 DVI. This sounds more suited to your setup. I'd also say, the extra grunt over a 6870 would come in handy at 5 monitor resolutions.

Hi, I've go the 5870
Hi, I've go the 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition, what's going to happen is that for 2 of the monitors you can use passive miniDP->DVI adapters that come with you card to connect them.
All the others will need active adapters.

Thanks for the answers!
Except they are connected DP to DP (see original post), correct?
Nice card. And you are right, it would suit well for the setup. But it's more expensive (100€), so I think I'll take the E6 with the two adaptors.
