Can I setup eyefinity this way?

2 monitors connected into first 5850 card dvi ports and 3rd monitor connected into second 5850 card dvi port (CF 5850)? I mean without any DP-VGA or DP-DVI adapter? Just using two 5850 cards, can I do eyefinity?

Also, can I use for example second card ATI 5750 like a donor for 1 DVI port?

Currently i'm using "DVI-DVI, DVI-DVI, DP-VGA" on 1 card, want to buy second 5850 soon so I wondering can I have eyefinity avoiding DP-VGA adapter.


Thanks! :cheers

No. All monitors must be connected to one card. You can put the two 5850 cards in CFX, but you must connect all the monitors to one card.
