Which Display Port Adaptors work with Dell2007FR

[SpeedyVV]

does anyone one know if there are special requirements for a Display Port to DCI adaptor?

I have dell2007fp + dell3007wfpHC + dell 2007fp.

Can I just use any adpator an plug it to one of my dell2007fp?

Thanks for the help.

If you are planning on using this with a 3x1 EyeFinity setup you will need atleast 1 active adapter. Keep in mind they don't support portrait+landscape+portrait yet.
If not, you can use any passive adapter up to 1920x1200 as an extended desktop.

I searched NCIX.com and they dont have any adaptors that say "Active"

WHAT???

Well, that is a show stopper for me then.

I knew it was to good to be true

PK, thanks for the post. You just saved me $500!

Well they haven't officially said yes or no to p+L+p yet. I think they are doing the best they can to see if their engineers can make it happen, they recieved lots of feedback of users that wanted it.

This thread has more on that discussion and this post links to a list of active adapters: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1034700974&postcount=276

Some of the ATI engineers who worked on EyeFinity have been posting at WSGF. Looks like they are taking portrait + Landscape + portrait seriously. More information will be reveiled later on.

pLp display constellation:
That is on the list of constellations I'd like to see supported better. There is some support at present. Check out http://www.improbableinsights.com/2009/10/05/ati-eyefinity-and-three-displays/ and tell Loyd I sent ya.

Edit: ^this appears to be Windows extended display mode, and he talks about how this is currently an issue with EyeFinity.

We had an Eyefinity (EF) future roadmap meeting today. DaveB & I referred directly to this forum as validation for several of the features under discussion. A few features are already in the works and will be delivered as soon as we can complete the work. Some other features will be released coincident with the Six. There will be additional features released on a regular schedule after the Six.

More than this I can't say at this time. There will be information forthcoming later on. I realize this is mostly a whole lot of no information, but it should be of some satisfaction to know that your voices have been heard.

I'd love to add 2x dell 20" 1600x1200 to my 30" 2560x1600 to get a PLP configuration but I can't seem to find the panels re-sold in the UK, dell.co.uk sell them directly but everything direct from dell is so overpriced it's not really worth it. £320 for a 1600x1200 LCD seems really high, 2 would be £640 on top of getting a 5870x2 we're talking silly money

True... I waited a long time for a sale on their 2007FP. Even then it was still expensive.

But now I think it was worth it.

from the other thread..

So can we get Portrait + Landscape + Portrait mode to work in Eyefinity ?

Their earlier posts about which 3x1 resolutions to support worry me a bit, it sounds like they're limited in the number of resolutions. So if pLp goes forward there may only be a few common resolutions supported such as 1600x1200 + 2560x1600 + 1600x1200 and it may be a long time before this is supported.

The top things they're working on are bezel management and crossfire support. Right now their engineers understand the issues, want to fix it, and put it on their list of things to do. If they were to fail at pLp it would be disappointing. There are technical limitations in the way of mixed orientations and mixed resolutions, and if their sollution has a large performance impact then it wont be released.
