Comment:
Worked, did what it was intended to do... It died. Don't know why. I shut off my Computer to install my new H50.Every little thing worked soon after it came back up except the monitor, flickered for a bit.. then it finally just shut off and didn't come back on. I believed it was my graphics card, but! it wasn't! Plugged it into a dell laptop with display port and it nevertheless didn't work. Don't know what else it could be.. I nevertheless haven't lost faith in new egg or sapphire..initial time Ive had a defective product from either

Price, stiff, works flawlessly, shipping Didn't function with an HDTV that only inputs with a VGA connector. Must have been the converter for DVI to VGA. But it was simple to function about with getting it becoming plugged into my Pc by HDMI, main monitor by DVI, and my 2nd monitor by this adapter. My setup is this:Computer----DVI----23in LCD MonitorComputer----DisplayPort--This adapter--DVI--19in LCD MonitorPc----HDMI----32in HDTVCable----HDMI----32in HDTVPurpose why I needed the adapter was my 5850's DVI plugs share bandwidth with the HDMI. I have two 5850s, so I could have 6 monitors, but then I'd have to disable crossfire, lol. CONFUSING, BUT IT ALL Performs AND I'M Pleased. :D

Functions excellent, does exactly what is supposed to for me. Run a third monitor with eyefinity from a display port though making use of the other two dvi's. none. It is a cable as an alternative of a plug like my final passive a single, which didnt function anyways.

affordable remedy that performs 100% none

Comment:
Worked good to enable third display on my new HD6850. Really affordable compared to other options. None so far. So now outputs from the card are 1 HDMI for key display and the two sides are running off of the DVI and DP to DVI.

Works fine on a 42" LG Television and a 22" Samsung monitor.I can not tell any distinction in image top quality among this and direct DVI and HDMI hookups.Great price tag. None. It doesn't appear like producers are finding on board with Display Port inputs. No matter, just get this.Some years back I had a household economic trading setup with 3 Viewsonic CRTs and Matrox video cards. Even even though the monitors had been refurbs, total price was a lot more than 񘞠.Now I have a greater setup with 3 LCD screens and a single graphics card that you could get for 軸. Wonderful.

Really quiet, even beneath loadGood efficiency, in particular in Crossfire configurationEyefinity operates with monitors of various size (in standalone mode - 30" 2560x1600 on the dual link DVI, 28" 1920x1200 on HDMI and 28" 1920x1200 on displayport by means of converter). When in eyefinity I run the 30" on non native 1920x1200, else I use them as separate displays.Works wonderful with the Sapphire Active displayport to DVI converter. This is the ฮ converter for Single Link DVI only (as opposed to the 贄+ ones for dual link DVI)Have I mentioned quiet? The crossfire bridge that came was too short for me (read below) I am upgrading from Sapphire Toxic 5870 to 2 x Sapphire 6950 CrossFire. Some disappointment on installation that the crossfire bridge offered with the cards was as well brief (intended for cards placed one particular near the other). On my Asus Rampage III with 4 slots I am utilizing slots 1 and 3 (for bandwidth and superior ventilation); I had to use the crossfire cable provided with the motherboard rather than the one particular coming with the video cards… note : The cable supplied with my preceding Sapphire Toxic 5870 WAS long enough.The card was surprisingly quiet, even in the crossfire configuration (note: I have them in slots 1 and 3, added space). On my prior 5870 I had to use a custom fan profile to keep it quiet… on 6950 it is rather with out any alterations. The cards runs a tiny hot below load ࿰F); this is most likely since the fan does not ramp up (at 80F the fan is at 40% load) . All this makes the card quite quiet (on trade of heat) and this is the best scenario for me (Corsair 700D case)

Operates with eyefinity None

Does exactly what they state, why acquire a 100$ adapter when this issue worked fantastic from the get go... Nada Eyefinity works good, only had a couple of difficulties and that was my/ati drivers (layout) fault.

Comment:
I've tested the cable a couple of techniques I've tested it on a PowerColor AX5770 for the 5 monitor assistance and it worked flawlessly (Please note that past the 2nd or 3rd monitor all monitors have to be single link DVI not dual link DVI if you don't know the difference google it because a VGA TO DVI won't operate additional than most likely)I've also tested it on 2 SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100284VXL Radeon HD 5750 graphics card for a total of 6 monitor support and had all 6 running perfectly singled linked on the adapters and dual linked on the cards DVI ports.The big thing about this if you're making use of eyefinity and you want it to be excellent just make certain you have "SINGLE LINK DVI CABLES"If you strategy on using several monitors make sure you look at some images amongst the distinction and look at your current cables to make certain you have no problems.I wanted to make this review to aid people because a few weeks ago I was wondering how it worked and nobody had anything posted.Hope this assists None functions best just make certain you use a SINGLE LINK DVI cable for most graphics cards going past a particular quantity of monitors. If you got this cable and it don't function on your machine from the start off probabilities are you have a dual link dvi cable and it's causing that attempt switching it to a single link dvi cable and see if it fixes your issue.

Ended (temporarily) all the woes of fighting with the affordable early DP/VGA adapter on a every day basis. Unit failed in 1 month. Fully dead. Windowsno longer finds any monitorconnected by way of this device. The 1st day I plugged it in, it worked perfectly. I was incredibly happy that all montors/resolutions just worked flawlessly every day. Without having warning, in about 1 month soon after the initial install, the device failed difficult. Searching for a Stable replacement now.

low-cost...functions excellent...this is the missing link for my eyefinity construct, had a number of individuals point me in the direction of a 100%+ adapter but then again...i'm not an idiot you would feel one thing like this would be at a very best buy...walmart...radio shack...oh...fu** no...rediculous save some money and purchase this adapter, you dont require anything more

Works on my Dell Studio XPS 8100 with HD5770. Three 20in HP monitors work wonderful. None but.

Like everyone else, I bought this adapter to use three monitors ... though at initially gave me lots of difficulties with screen flicker DisplayPort ... At 1st I believed the adapter was defective and had continuous flicker when making use of the 3 monitors ... and even talk a SAPPHIRE tech support told me immediately after telling my story that adapter is bad ... I could not believe this occurred due to the fact I had my parents sent me this adapter to Dominica Republic, and he knows that was defective would forget it, simply because what I charge for sending it is a lot far better than the adapter itself. For this cause I searched the network and located my answer ... At initial I believed the adapter was defective and had continuous flicker when using the 3 monitors ... and even speak a SAPPHIRE tech assistance told me following telling my story that adapter is bad ... I could not think this happened because I had my parents sent me this adapter to Dominica Republic, and he knows that was defective would forget it, since what I charge for sending it is a lot superior than the adapter itself. For this cause I searched the network and identified my solution ... If you have a graphics card of this brand SAPPHIRE go to the assistance page and vaja the identical package weighing controllers that are (ATI Catalyst Application Profiles CAP1 11.1 This release of ATI Catalyst) ... .45MB weigh mimes and in my case ... solved my dilemma and DisplayPort functions perfectly. ... alive.

Dirt affordable compared to competitors.Does precisely what it advertises, converts a display port signal (probably from your Radeon HD) into DVI. none I gave this five stars mainly simply because of the cost. Other active converts are close to 贄. Sapphire delivers a item for 1ǚ that. This was essentially the tipping point in my adoption of 3 display eyefinity with the intention of going to 6 in the future.

Comment:
Right after attempting a commercial 'active' DP to DVI, which didn't operate, I got this. Does specifically what it should, three monitors, single image. None but... Got this throughout a 'free shipping' promo, and in the future, I will happily spend additional to get it from NJ to OH in less than 8 days! Seriously, that's how lengthy it took. My fault for not checking, and I don't really blame Newegg, but, wow. 8 days....

Comment:
This active adapter operates perfectly with my 3rd DVI monitor, employed for a three monitor spanned desktop. Monitors are powered by a 5870 with two DVI outputs and the display port output. I'm operating two 25.five" 1920 X 1200 monitors and the display port monitor's a 22" 1650 X 1080. All's nicely. Nada Good value, works perfectly. Luv that 'Egg

Comment:
Specifically what I expected.Works perfectly with 23" Samsung monitor and 42" Panasonic Television. It does the job and doesn't take up another USB port for power. I haven't run into any troubles. I originally bought a DisplayPort adapter that advertised it becoming Active, only to uncover when I got it that it wasn't. I came on Newegg and discovered this one suitable away for the identical value.

Comment:
Functions as expected, Active DP to DVI...and Low cost compared to the other people on the market None so far

Comment:
Functions correctly with Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X for 2xDVI + DisplayPort->DVI. ATI/AMD chipsets should seriously assistance all outputs simultaneously w/o need to have for $$$ adapters. On Linux works fine w/ATI 11.3 proprietary driver. With the open source driver it was correctly detected in Eyefinity mode, but didn't create output to the monitor (presumed open source driver bug).

Comment:
Low-cost and Functions. Doesn't require a USB port. None I purchased the accell DP to DVI adapter for $ 99 a lengthy time ago and I've had nothing but difficulty with it. I would typically get black screens and resolution matters. This cheap adapter made all of those problems go away.

Comment:
It allowed a fourth monitor to be set up o my sapphire hd5670. which i didn't think was possible to use all 4 accessible connections. Contrary to what i a have read about eyefinity. My card runs eyefinity just fine working with the 2 dvi ports and the HDMI port. I am writing this review proper now with out the DP being utilised with 3 monitor eyefinity set up and operating. The DP adapter seemed to function most of the time nonetheless it would consistently blank out for 3 to 5 seconds more than the past couple of weeks. then today just stopped operating entirely. I am RMA right now hopefully It just appears that the device is not stable sufficient and probably that a great driver update may possibly fix some of the difficulties. Nevertheless the complete failure after a few weeks just is not acceptable

Comment:
This functions fine on yet another computer that runs the exact same setup, but with a various model graphics card. The ATI Radeon HD 5870 series, regrettably Sapphire says does not have any assistance for most dongles out there and this one takes place to be one of the unsupported dongles. Also, this dongle and an additional one from the HIS business are exactly the exact same. Each match up with logos/markings on them, and the barcodes that were on the boxes. If you're looking for the appropriate dongle for your card, then I recommend you take a lengthy appear by means of AMD's Validated Dongles page. I truly hope this helps absolutely everyone and you don't have to shell out a lot more funds everytime you feel that it is something else other than drivers/software difficulties, result in that is what the majority of the issues of these not working are. If you get the error message of "The system has detected a link failure and can\'t set the requested resolution and refresh rate on your DisplayPort display. Your display might not assistance the requested resolution or there may well be an problem with the cable connecting the display to your monitor.", then that is because of incompatibility concerns which can only be solved by downloading the drivers which don't exist however.

Comment:
It functions as expected. Low-cost and great solution to your eyefinity set up! None.

Comment:
works excellent had no concerns with it at all 1st 1 was a dud but sent it back and got a replacement just fine. one thing individuals appear to not understand is that this only supports up to 1920x1080. any greater than that and it wont work simply because its single link dvi not dual link. so if your running on 27 - 30 inch monitors with a resolution over 1920x1080 go for the usb powered active display port adapter. you'll save your self time and headaches.
