anyone know why dell caps one of the dvi ports per card? and i have 3 dell monitors i plan on using for eyefinity. can i use 2 of the display port adaptors and one dvi? or maybe uncap the 2nd dvi and use 2 dvi's and one display port?

You could use 2 display ports or uncap the dvi, think they cap the dvi so you know its port 2 on the card and expect you to plug your monitor into port 1 which is likely a Dual-Link DVI port rather than a Single-Link DVI port.

When using one of the display port outputs you will need an active DP to DVI adaptor.
