Hello,
I'm new to these forums, and I have a few questions about choosing the right adapter for my eyefinity setup.
My monitors and graphical card:

-SAPPHIRE HD 5970 Link to website with specs of this graphical card.
2 x Dual-Link DVI
1 x Mini-DisplayPort

-2x Acer V243HAObd Link to website with full specs of this monitor.
-1x Acer V243HLAObmd Link to website with fullspecs of this monitor.
(they all have a resolution of 1920 x 1080)


So, my plan is to make an eyefinity setup using these 3 monitors.

My question is this:
Will eyefinity work if I use this adapter on one of these monitors?
I wasn't sure about this because it is a single-link DVI output. Does it matter if it is dual-link or single-link, and what is the difference?

If the adapter works, what kind of DVI cable to link one of the monitors to the adapter above should I buy, a single-link or dual-link DVI cable?

I hope someone can answer my questions, thank you very much for your time.

Dual Link DVI is mainly used for 3D ! supports higher resolutions. 1920x1080 works fine on Single Link DVI
So you should be fine with this Single link Active DVI adapter!


Oh btw, same Resolution isn't all! Also need to have same density, or refresh rate... or something like that... i'm sure some1 other can explain better...
But with Monitors from same manufacterer it should work... i think.
