Thread: Where to buy an "Active Display port adapter"
Started 1 month, 1 week ago by Mind_Reader7
So I've got my HD5850 on the way, and I'm wondering where I can buy an active display port, known to work with the 58XX range. I know Dell has one, but I would prefer not to support them, as I hate them.
Sorry to say but IIRC it's Dell or bust Why don't you like Dell? I just bought 3 of thier 1920 X 1080 displays (because of Eyefinity and I wanted the Native DP) and I love them, they might even have a better picture then my Sammy's did

Those are all passive adapters You need a DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Active
One is powered and allows for the extreme resolutions Eyefinity has to offer. IIRC the passive adapter can only support like 3840X1200 so with three screens the overall res is to high. I tried the passive adapter on my setup first and I could only use two screens with it

They don't ship to non US redients apparently......
So now Dell is out of the question whether I like it or not. Seriously need an adapter, anyone know?

none of your stuff is ever more than a month old and what happened, you usually make money when you sell stuff IIRC, losing your touch?

I could only find mini dp to dual link DVI there..and that was $149 aud..And I cannot find them on the aus dell site... at this current point in time ATi and eyefinity can go to he77 for me.. (I wanted eyefinity aswell ).. There must be somewhere in aus they can be found though, surely...
You can get one from Apple, I believe they will sell it to you. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB...Y&s=topSellers I can't figure out where to get a Female Mini DisplayPort to Male DisplayPort cable at from Apple though. Here is where you can see how Maxishine did Eyefinity with his setup. http://www.maxishine.com.au/index.ph...news&Itemid=50
if u need that adapter from dell or apple, id go with new displays like AT said, but if you really want that dell adapter, im sure someone here would offer to buy it for you and ship it to au at your expense if you're that desperate. is eyefinity really all that attractive?
