Eyefinity setup question

[xXBananasXx]

I had some questions on Eyefinity that I couldn't seem to find answers to. Does Eyefinity support 3 2560x1440p monitors (60hz)? Also, is there a way to hook up 3 monitors to Eyefinity without a Displayport, meaning I could use a HDMI slot with a Displayport to HDMI adapter, or am I stuck using a Displayport hub? Also, what is the best Displayport hub that will support this resolution? I've seen a few different ones with very bad reviews (like 2 stars on them). Thanks for any help you guys can offer me.

Yes eyefinity should support that. You only need one connection to be from a Displayport from the graphic card. You can use an adapter but it has to be an active Displayport to HDMI adapter. You can use any other inputs for the other monitors.

So I have two Asus Pb278q monitors at the moment, and I'd like to expand it to three eventually. My r9 290x only has 1 dp output and 1 HDMI, it also has 2 dvi outputs. Could you link me the adapters I would need because I have gotten very confused?

So I still need a display port hub since my gpu only has 1 displayport on it?

If you plan to use only display ports from the graphic card, then yes.

I thought eyefinity could only run from the display ports? The link you gave me was a displayport to HDMI adapter, and since I only have 1 DisplayPort slot that would mean I'd need a hub, unless theres an adapter which will make eyefinity work with a non displayport port on my gpu?

You only need one monitor using a displayport from the graphic card. The other monitors can be other inputs like DVI or HDMI.

Alright, thank you very much for answering all of my questions.
