So just to clarify, it's working for you with a passive DP->VGA adapter?
Max resolution for VGA is 1600x1200 though, isn'? So it's a no-no for HD.
Because of all the mixed responses, I just thought to drop AMD/ATi some mail about it and this is their reply:
Okay, so back to the topic, what are your recommendations for the best screens to use in Eyefinity?

So that confirms it. A passive would work for 2 monitors, but not when there are 3 on the card.I understand that you are interested in setting up Eyefinity 3 and would like to know the requirements.
An active DisplayPort adaptor is required if you are using more than 2 monitors.
Unfortunately, the passive DP adaptor does not supply the power required for a third display.
