I want to run eyefinity on 3x 1920x1200 with an sapphire 280x card. And realized I have to buy an active display port -> DVI adapter to run 3 screens. I have some questions about the adapters:

  • Will this adapters lower the image quality, cause blur, or add input lag?
  • I found some older (2010-2011) topics about flickering issues and black screens, are they fixed by now?
  • I'm intend to use it in 1920x1200 resolution, so a single link would be enough. Should I buy an usb powered dual link for better image quality? (tho this question is moot if it doesn't change quality)
  • Are there any recommended brands?
  • Does the brand actually matters?

The only branded one I found within reachable distance is: http://products.xfxforce.com/en-gb/Accessories/Display_Port/MA-AP01-PD1K this, anyone have experience with that?

The 280x can use dvi/hdmi only for 3 monitor eyefinity with some restrictions - http://www.anandtech.com/show/7400/the-radeon-r9-280x-review-feat-asus-xfx/3

I have 2 lg, and one HP monitor, but 2 different LG models as well (tho its only cosmetic differences) All 3 monitors are same size, and using LG made ips panels. But I cant get this to work, even the first boot only show up on 2 screens.
Also didnt find anything on sapphire website about this, not sure if they cards support it.
