3 screens

[Houli]

Is anyone running 3 screens? If so, is there anyone using ATI's DisplayPoint technology/connectors?

I'm considering getting a ATI Radeon HD5850 which supports 3 montiors but I notice on the back of the card its only got
2 x DVI
1 x HDMI
1 x DisplayPoint

I would assume that I would have to run the 2 monitors off the DVI and one off the DisplayPoint.

Any help would be appreciated.

I believe you need to use one of these. Basicly the first two monitors can be either 1 DVI + 1 HDMI, Or 2 DVI the third needs to be sourced from the Display port.

So you run three DVI monitors off the one card. Needs the USB for power.
