To solve the issue with DVI/HDMI and DisplayPORT all having different clocks,
the best option for "Non" Eyefinity 6 Cards is to run a 1.2 Display Port Hub, and Run 2 or all 3 screens from one DisplayPort 1.2 Port to a HUB, which splits the 3 streams and send them out to each monitor which can be connected to the hub Via DVI.
There are "Concept" hubs all over the net with DisplayPort 1.2 Input and 3 DVI/HDMI Outputs. each capable of Running 3x 1080p/60Hz screens off 1 display port. meaning cards with two 1.2 Display Ports can run 6 Screens on the Same Clock.
However, All i can Find is the old Display Port 1.0/1.1 hubs with Resolution Limits.

I haven't seen any yet... Thank God for my Eyefinity 6 card! I won't be getting another graphics card update until the tech is there to solve this, either via a hub or another Eyefinity 6 type of deal with mini DP connections.

AMD partners scrapped Eyefinity 6 because of DP 1.2 having the ability to drive 3 streams on the MST Hub, but i havent seen no Hub,
i'd pay for the HUB and just drive all my screens off 1 DP.
To solve the issue with DVI/HDMI and DisplayPORT all having different clocks,
I never had problems with my 5870 driving the side monitors using DVI and the center using DP, what sort of problems are people experiencing?
The only problems I recall were people without DP native monitors and DP->DVI adapters that were not working correctly but I would hope 2 years later the DP adapters would have been shaken out.

the 5000 Series didnt have that problem.
the 6000/7000 series do.
DisplayPort uses Packets and a different "clock" than the HDMI/DVI/VGA Ports do, so you get sync tearing on 1 or 2 screens, depending on which screen interface you set to deferred.
There was at least one 68xx series Eyefinity 6 edition card... "Visiontek 900373 Radeon HD 6870 Eyefinity 6 Video Card - 2GB"
But yes, it sure would be nice to see some MST hubs show up for DisplayPort 1.2
