Eyefinity (7950) vs Surround (970)

I recently purchased three Dell S2415H monitors and bought two mini DisplayPort to HDMI active adapters (that ended up not functioning). The card I use has one DVI, one HDMI and two mini displayport connections. I wanted 3x monitors in eyefinity and one TV connection for movies.

I am now rather annoyed and I am considering selling my 7950 and buying a 970. The 970 would have one DVI-I, one DVI-D, one HDMI and one DisplayPort. I'd buy two DVI to HDMI adapters and use the 3x hdmi connections for my nVidia Surround setup and I'd use the displayport to output to the TV... do I need active adapters like the Eyefinity needed?

I figured the 970 would drive 5760x1080 gaming better and hopefully skip the need to find active adapters that aren't DOA.

Edit: So apparently I misunderstood and still need the damn active adapter?
