I need to hook up 6 HDMI displays. I'm trying to find active mini display port to HDMI adapters. AMD's site lists a part number of

Adapts: DisplayPort™ To: HDMI (Active Adapter)
Manufacturer Part Number Firmware Max. Resolution Purchase
Accell B086B-003B 0x08 4096x2160 Buy Now
Accell B086B-003B-2 0x08 4096x2160 Buy Now
Bizlink KS10047 0x08 4096x2160

It does not appear that the 003 model of the Accell are shipping yet, and on Amazon it says the 002 is NOT active. I can't find the Bizlink anywhere. I had ordered other adapters but the wrong parts were sent and the more I started looking into what I had ordered originally, the more I'm pretty sure they were passive rather than active.

What do I need to order to get these 6 displays (which only have HDMI and VGA) working?

Thanks for any help.

:welcome

Give these a try, they are active adaptors which will work with Eyefinity.

thanks, those were the ones i originally ordered and they sent me the wrong part (DVI instead of HDMI). When I went to reorder I read some of the reviews and they were pretty poor.

So what I did was ordered some active mini display port to DVI adapters
then DVI to HDMI converters to use with the HDMI cables I already have

hopefully that will work.

I ordered 6 of each of these. I understand I only need 4 active and two passive but frankly I was tired of researching stuff to order so hopefully 6 actives will work just as well
