After a quick look around the web, I don't think it is, no.

its easier to buy a card like 6950 flux from sapphire which automatically converts non active monitors into active so you can use cheap dvi monitors for upto 4 eyefinity i believe, with 2gigs of vram that shouldnt be a problem

also i doubt that it is

prob that he's having is they only have like 2 dvi ports you have to use active DP adapters to make the dp work with a dvi cable. I'm thining he's wanting more than 2 monitors.

i took a chance as the numptys could not tell me in pc world either, and nope as soon as i plug it in all the monitors turn off. so will just have to wait it out for now untill i can get one deliverd
