Happy Holidays!

So unexpectedly my trusty ol' GeForce 780 finally bit the dust (actually not that impressed as it only lasted 3 1/2 years).  So I had to make a quick Xmas present for myself and picked up an EVGA GeForce 1080 SC.  Can't wait to see how she performs in P3Dv4.

I am running three 27" 1080 displays.  One will use the HDMI, 2nd will use the DVI.  For the 3rd I have to use one of the display ports.  Can I get by with a "passive" DP-2-DVI adapter or must it be "active"?  Any first-hand accounts appreciated.
