Hi, I have got 3 2209WA Dell monitors and a Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5870 2GB Eyefinity 6 Edition. It comes with 2x MDP to DVI adaptors and I have recently bought a third mini dp to DVI (waiting on delivery). Do I need to get a Active or Passive, because all the stuff I have been reading says you dont need a active one for my stuff and I am so confused. Here is the complete spec's OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 3x2GB OCZ3P1600LV6GK Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64bit OEM Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Intel Core i7 930 Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB WD1002FAEX CoolerMaster CM 690 II Advanced Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5870 2GB Eyefinity 6 Edition Samsung SH-B123A 12X Blu-ray DVD Combo Drive Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard Rev2.0 G.Skill Phoenix Pro 60GB SSD 3 x Dell 2209W 22-inch Ultrasharp Monitor Proluma Deluxe Triple LCD Monitor Stand Zalman ZM600-RS |

:welcome The E6 can only drive 2 passive signals, the remaining 4 ports require active adaptors, note that all vga adaptors are active. I would advise using a vga adaptor for now untill the ati drivers and dvi adaptors get sorted out. |

In theory should work, however the reason I recommend VGA is because the active DVI adaptors sometimes dont work with some drivers or they flicker, its a bit hit and miss at times. I suggest you read this... ATI Needs to fix the flickering on DP! |
