Hello, im having a touch of a problem with Eyefinity setting up. Here is what i have,
3x 21.5" Acers A221HQV monitors
HD Radeon 6950 flashed to a 6970
2 Monitors directly to DVI
1 Monitor going to a APPLE mini dp to dvi adapter (seen on the apple site it said all of the single link adapters were active)
So whenever i go to duplicate my third monitor it says I have to disable another monitor to get it to work.
I believe I know what the problem is I just wanted to make sure before I went out and bought another adapter it wasn't something I was over looking.
Anyways will the apple adapter work with all this or do I have to order a active adapter from newegg? (none of the retailers around me actually have any in store).
Thank you in advance and I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving :D

windows 7 but I ended up solving the problem by going back to the mac store and buying a mini DP to VGA adapter.

Edit: now I just have screen tearing on my monitor that is hooked up with the dp to vga cable.

If you use all VGA connections, you should be fine. Tearing generally comes when you have monitors hooked up different ways.
