Eyefinity question (will it work)?

[Gropea]

I'm soon getting three of those monitors (http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-W2241S-BF-lcd-monitor) because I will get them for very cheap price. Now having multiple monitors, would this kind of setup work with eyefinity? I have dual ASUS 7870's. Thanks for answers already!

I'm getting this adaptor: Deltaco DisplayPort - Single Link DVI-D

It should work but my suggestion is:

1) Connect left monitor to top GPU DVI-D port
2) Center monitor- Use DVI to hdmi instead of displayport for better chance of compatibility
3) Right most monitor - connect to bottom GPU DVI-D port instead.

Looks good to me... One thing you need to make sure of, the DisplayPort to DVI-D NEEDS to be an ACTIVE adapter or it will not work. If the adapter you are looking at doesnt say active, it most likely is not.

Cards are in CrossFire. And I think that monitors must be connected to same GPU, or it will not work with eyefinity. Also, would DP -> HDMI adapter work with middle monitor? (while still using DVI for side monitors). I could use it for things that don't support eyefinity.

AMD site says this:

The first two monitors can connect to the graphics card with any display output on your product: HDMI, VGA, DVI or DisplayPort. The third (or greater) display must be connected to the graphics card via DisplayPort.
If your monitor does not have a DisplayPort connection, you will need an inexpensive active DisplayPort adapter for it.​

It does not matter which monitor you have the DP connected to, all three of your monitors are the same. Yes I believe you need to use all the connectors on the same card.

****EDIT****
I didnt read the response from tambeshakunt before. If connecting 3 monitors with EYEFINITY, the 3rd monitor HAS to use a DP or a Active DP adapter.
