DVI/HDMI -> VGA
MiniDP -> ACTIVE adapter -> VGA

MiniDP -> ACTIVE adapter -> VGA

Its working? I do a lot of reading about this thing..some of them say, eyefinity cant work on 3 vga monitor, its must have 1 or 2 monitor that support digital signal.
That true? I'm little bit confuse here..

thats why the dp adapter has to be active...

Ok..btw anybody else already try this setup?

AFAIK you cant even hdmi>vga. Only dvi>vga. That would mean you'd need 2 active adapters- 60$ in adapters...

2 adapter for minidp active -> vga ?

nah, the card has 2 dvi ports so use them, just make sure they are actually DVI-I so they have the analog signal as well, opposed to DVI-D which is purely digital..

I already put 2 dvi-i -> vga adapter but only one monitor work, from what I read, second dvi port at GC (bottom one) is purely digital..cant convert into a analog signal.

as i understand it- hdmi is pure digital. you cant go passivly to vga from it.

so if your card has dvi, hdmi and dp- you can dvi>vga pasivly only.

you'd need
hdmi>vga active adapter, and
dp>vga active adapter

 

[Kari]

yeah, sounds like you'd need 2 active adapters.
