How to setup Eyefinity to support three monitors on HD 5700/5800 series card?

Monitors are connected the following way: DVI-DVI-DisplayPort

Currently driver does not allow me to do this. If I click on the third monitor to extended it, I get message to disable other one.

Message:

I am using DisplayPort adapter to DVI, so I do not have native displayPort monitor. Might be that a problem?

Solution

To establish Eyefinity on three monitors you can only do this to use DisplayPort connection. You can connect on DisplayPort only a native DisplayPort monitor or DVI/HDMI/VGA monitor with ACTIVE DisplayPort adapter.

All credits should go to the Snark, since he gave the crucial hint.

What kind of adapter do you have? Apparently you need an active one, as explained here: tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-272593_15_0.html

Verly likely passive I have this adapter: manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/8102-displayport-adapt‌​er

Are anyone knows where to order this adapter (to Europe)?

ATI Response: Currently you must have a Display Port monitor with no adapters. Passive adapters do not work. Active adapters are being tested and some are working, once testing is complete a list of Active adapters should be available online.
