Hey guys, just got in a pair of Sapphire Dual X Boost 7950's that I'm going to be using in Crossfire for an Eyefinity setup.  The card has 4 inputs: single link DVI-D, dual link DVI-I, HDMI, and a full size Displayport.  My question is this; which three should I use for the Eyefinity setup?  I have 3 27" 1080 Samsung monitors, all identical (I've heard that's best for Eyefinity setups) and each has the option of DVI, HMDI, or VGA (w/ adapter if needed).  Can I do 2 on DVI (will the standard DVI out of the monitor work in the dual link DVI port) and then 1 HDMI?  Or will I need some sort of adapter(s)?  Thanks for any help with this; I've kinda jumped in head first for my first build and things are getting complicated!

Use an adaptor(displayport-Dual link DVI) and then use 1 more Dual link DVI and HDMI.

one has to be displayport(can use an active adapter for it to make it dvi, but one monitor must be fed from the dp port), requirement of AMD eyefinity. other than that i would personally do the other two monitors on dvi, 

 

hope this helps

If ur hell bent on X, dont ask for X vs Y suggestions
