Eyefinity = awesome.

Shouldn't be difficult or expensive to change between DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. They all can pass the same digital signal. There are plenty of places online that sell adapters/converters/dongles for FAR cheaper than retail stores.

Exactly. Try monoprice.com - tons of cable options there for great prices. Keep in mind that you'll need an active adapter (not passive) to go DP->DVI.

The issue is that it's actually a powered adapter needed, not just active. The good thing is that Saphire will be releasing one in the next few days so that makes pulling the trigger a lot easier.

Have also found that running 2 of these won't work in X-Fire mode but I wonder if I can still run 2 5770's for the 6 display option as long as it's not in X-Fire mode. I know I could go for a 5870+ card, but they are like double the price of 2 5770's here and also require buying 6 adapters rather than only 2.

Actually crossfire in eyefinity mode is now "supported" in the latest 9.12 hotfix drivers. And what makes you say you'd need six adaptors for two 5870s? Unless you decided to run with the six-monitor eyefinity edition card you'd only need two.

Yeah, my understanding was that 5870's and up were the 6 monitor version. If it's only the 59xx then ignore that part

No, there will be a six monitor version of the 5870 (Not out yet as far as I know). All other versions have two DVI, a HDMI and a displayport (5970 has a mini-displayport instead of normal displayport)
