I'm upgrading my 2008 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770. I intend to connect it to two 23" LED monitors with DVI interfaces. Can I use one of the DVI ports on the HD 5770 and one of the Mini DisplayPorts with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter or am I better off using both MiniDisplay Ports?
If you have a DVI display wider than 1920 wide, hook it directly to the Dual-Link DVI port.
Otherwise, it's your preference. Not adding an adapter saves you a few bucks. Performance is the same either way.
I agree. You got a dvi monitor you might as well use the available dvi socket so you only need one mDP-to-DVI adapter (single link for a 23", resolution less than 1920 x 1200). For example like this one.
Upgrading to ATI Radeon HD 5770?
