StarTech MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter StarTech MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter

Pros: Plug and play, works for eyefinity and has given me the triple monitor setup I wanted.

minus an egg for the hassle of RMA'ing and the first 2 adapters being DOA.

Cons: price, this is obviously a specialty item and the price is evident of that mindset.

Other Thoughts: hope yours work the first time and enjoy your eyefinity!

Pros: Works great in both single and Duel Link on my XFX 7970 crossfire setup.

Cons: No issues to report so far

Other Thoughts: Great value and it works great.

Pros: active adapter and 'should' work with eyefinity

Cons: cost, quality, headache

Other Thoughts: I ordered 2 adapters... 1 is completely DOA and the other forces the monitor down to 640 x 480(defective). What a headache. So not only is the price tag excessive, I didn't even get a QC'd high end product. I got the typical MADE IN CHINA garbage with a jacked-up price. Can you believe on their website this adapter goes for almost $50 each!

Newegg, this entire cable thing reminds me of shenanigans I'd experience dealing with blue shirts and that is very very... offputting.

I'll update my review after I start the RMA process next week.

Pros: It just works. Plugged it in for my triple monitor setup and it just works. I have all three monitors running at 1080p and have setup eyefinity for gaming and what can I say, it just works.

Cons: None that I can see

Other Thoughts: I was told not to buy these because they were supplied power by a usb port but I haven't had any troubles. I probably wouldn't recommend if you are using anything higher than 1080P but if you are running 1080P setup this is very nice

Pros: NONE did NOT work!

Cons: NONE did NOT work!

Other Thoughts: It may just be that it is not compatible with the Microsoft Surface Pro. Bought the Microsoft adapter and it worked fine.

Pros: worked well for about 3 months

Cons: After using it about 3 months, I turned on my computer and the screen was not working. After some troubleshooting I figured out it was this that had flaked out. This is my second adapter, my other one is a power color and I have using it for about 2 years without any issues.

Other Thoughts: Idk if I just got a bum one but I bought another Power Color on the way as I had better luck with that brand.

Don't get burned like I did. Shame on ATI for releasing flawed tech. No excuse to have such an atrocious and annoying flaw in their high end video cards.

Cons: None

EYEFINITY SETUPS WILL HAVE TEARING NO MATTER WHAT IF YOU HAVE MIXED CONNECTION TYPES!

THE ONLY WAY TO NOT HAVE A VIDEO TEARING ISSUE IS TO BUY A CARD WHERE YOU CAN HAVE ALL YOUR MONITORS ON THE SAME STYLE CONNECTION SUCH AS THE SAPPHIRE FLEX SERIES CARDS.

Other Thoughts: Through no fault of this adapter, but rather a hardware shortfall in the 6000/7000 series cards, you will always experience tearing on at least 1 of your monitors due to not being able to synchronize more than 2 monitors at a time. (If you are using an eyefinity setup, extended desktop display mode is not affected) This is due to the fact that these cards have only 2 mdts chips that can send a clock signal to your monitors on either a DVI or HDMI connection. Displayport connections use packets to transmit the data to the monitor rather than a clocked signal, so being that their is a difference in the way the signals are transmitted it is impossible for all of your monitors to be synced and have no tearing. The only way around this is to buy a Sapphire FLEX series card that has an extra, 3rd, mdts timing chip built into the card. This will allow you to have 3 DVI connections useable out to your monitors. Since all 3 displays have a clock signal the will all be synced properly, and none of your monitors will experience tearing. Had I known this to begin with when I was making my new videocard purchase, I would have b ought the flex right away instead of my gigabyte. Also, obviously, the fact that you can have 3 dvi connections on the flex eliminates the need for a costly active displayport adapter.

Soooooooooo, now I am going to purchase a FLEX 7950 and crossfire it with the gigabyte. Use the FLEX as primary and have my displays connected to that, and have the gigabyte in X-fire. Can't wait to have two of these bad mamma jamma cards pushing my games at 6000x1080 resolution.

Pros: Well packaged
Worked well with no issue in eyefinity setup

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have a 3x monitor eyefinity setup; hdmi/DVI/Mini DP-to-DVI
I had bought two adapters and initially wanted to go hdmi + two mini DP with an adapter to DVI but it turns out that config does not work
It's not bad as i get to keep a spare

Pros: As someone else said, you need an active adapter like this to effectively add a 3rd monitor through a mini display port.

Cons: Not a con of this adapter, I believe, but possibly the mini DP in general. When I first installed, the mini DP end that went into the card would seem to disconnect, even though it appeared fully seated and would not go in any further. PC would lose signal to that monitor. You need to monkey with it a little bit until you find that sweet spot, and possibly make a few attempts (in Windows at least) to "detect" all the monitors. Works fine since I found the sweet spot.

Other Thoughts: My setup:
(3) 23" Asus IPS Monitors
Radeon 6950 (2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 2 mini DP)
2 Monitors connect from DVI to DVI on card, 3rd connects from DVI to this adapter, then to card.
