Just running it by you guys, dont want to buy something that doesnt work, cheers =]

Your friend is telling the truth (surprisingly :P). You will need one monitor to be a displayport monitor, because the 5xxx series cards only have two clock mechanisms for monitors, which is why one is a displayport. You will need an active displayport adapter in order to use a third non-displayport monitor. Something like this would work for you.

Nono, you can do displayport to dvi.JigglyWiggly_

Current HD 5 series require a active display port, powered by USB, adapter if you want to use a non-DP monitor. Dell has has the professional series monitors that sell for about $210 USD a piece at 21.5".

I know a guy on the Extreme Overclocking Forums that has three of these for his EyeFinity setup and he loves them.

Wait what? Why wouldn't a displayport > dvi cable work?

I mean I saw people using mini dp > dvi on the hd5970 review.

So it comes with one dvi port only and your splitting it into two, but if your trying to use display port for your third monitor hmmm, vga your third one :P okay im confused...

This is what anandtech used... http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3679&p=6 Though instead of mini, make that non mini. 1920x1200, not 1680x1050.

But they wanted 2560x1600 so they got a box.

Yeah, dont mean find one with ad on it T.T, but doesnt this work? Dvi splitter adapter or am I missing something(split your dvi port for two displays).
