Thanks for your help, i came to the sae conclusion that its a cheap "made in China" version.

I found this on the amazon website:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-44000-02-40R-Active-Display-Cable/dp/B00433C5Y4

The comments seem positive, has any used/tried/got this?

Dont want to order it from the UK, wait for it to get here, then find out its another cheap one!

If you do a quick search of this site for that adapter, you'll find mostly positive results. The negative ones report occasional flicker, but that seems to be a problem with any adapter. I've even had my DP and mini-DP monitors flicker 3 or 4 times, on different video cards, but new drivers seemed to clear it up.

And looks like folks can run 5760x1200 with it, so you should be good to go!

Please, report back when you get it.

I didnt order that adaptor from Amazon in the end. The shop that sold me the dodgy adaptor took it back and replaced it for free. It worked straight away out of the box and havent had a problem since. I do have a couple of questions though. Most games i try work fine, but Payday - The Heist has issues. The graphic options show 5760x1080, when i load the game, the left monitor is fine, but the centre and right monitors have a black border around the picture. When i play FSX it works, but everything is very zoomed in. Hopefully i can sovle these little niggles, but Dirt 3, OP:red River, Left 4 Dead 2, Battlefield 3 etc, Fantastic!!!

I have linked a few pictures if people have questions about EyeFinity and ATI HD5850 and Active Adaptors here:

Ill add more pics as i install, play and complete my games

Once again, thanks for all your support and help

That's awesome. If you click on Games up at the top of the site, you can find info on already-discovered fixes for most games, and ehck out Delphiums' HDU fix for Left 4 Dead.

Add me in BF3: CHUDD-BK- (Steam as well)

(and the rest of you, if you like)

you should change "As for the HD4800 series, not so sure"
to "As for the HD4800 series, definately not"

The HD4890 definatly doesnt work with eyefinity? I have one with all the same output plugs as my HD5850, but I cant be bothered to move all my monitors into the living room for a test!
