Hello all, I am in need of some expertise on the subject of Eyefinity. The video card in question is a MSI 7790, which has the following ports:

Dual-link DVI-I x 1
Dual-link DVI-D x 1
DisplayPort x 1 (version 1.2)
HDMI x 1 (version 1.4a)

I have (3) 22" 1080p Samsung Monitors that only have 1 VGA port each. I have a DVI-I to VGA adapter that came with the card, and an HDMI to VGA adapter that I had purchased from Newegg. My understanding is that the DVI-D does not carry an analog signal so what route with the available ports should I take to be able to use the 3rd monitor and complete the Eyefinity experience. Or am I completely DOING IT WRONG? :p Thanks for anyone's advice in advance! :D
 
Ordered. Will report the success or failure of such setup. Thank you guys!
 
That adapter worked fine, however I will definitely recommend getting a cable style adapter versus what I got. The fit is tight being right next to the HDMI on the GFX card so the slightest bump causes the adapter to come loose somewhat and turn the screen yellowish. :p Thanks again you guys!
