The one thing about CrossfireX I don't like, is the way vsync is handled... I play in Eyefinity with many games, and I get tearing when CrossfireXing!

That happens to me once in a great while, not often though. I found that it only happened after I replaced my powered DP adapter with a cheaper unpowered unit. But again; it doesnt happen often enough to bother me.

PropNut, I have a native Display Port monitor, but it's going from Display Port to Display Port Mini via an unpowered adapter. Could that be the reason? The outer two monitors are also native Display Port, but I'm using non powered DVI to Display Port mini adapters for those.

Do I just need to go buy Display Port to Display Port mini solid cables?

I do not know very much about the electronics side of the adapters, but I doubt that would be an issue as it should be a simple gender changer. No idea why that would make a difference....sorry.
