Well, luckily the Eyefinity 6 models look like they come with almost all the adapters you need - 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 2 mini DP to DP. [5? shouldn't it come with 6?]
Why couldn't ATI have included one of these DP adapters with the regular Eyefinity models? And these look like simple passive passthrough connectors to me, does it work just like that? What about all the fuss with active adapters we had to deal with for our regular 5xxx models? Are the mini DP's somehow different? Why couldn't ATI have included one DP to DVI for their regular models when most of us will have to find $125 adapters that may or may not even work (as we have had several posts about approved list active adapters still causing blinking screens).
