| As long as the card is dvi-I (analog+digital) you can use the dvi/svga adapter, I've yet to see any video card that has dvi-d and not work with the adapter. Unless ati/amd really screws the design, it should have dvi-i. As for 24"/dual-link, it's more based on resolution than size, like a 23" 2048 x... |

| ...this short term fix could be a long term fix if only manufacturers got a reliable way to remove bezels or make them As I see it the 'it must be flatter/thiner' craze is why we're stuck with large bezels. If they had concentrated on make less bezels instead of how thin the screen is, by now we'd ... |

| So far I've yet to see a single game that has any benefit from sli. Benchmarks sure but those aren't useful for anyone except bragging rights fanatics. Right now I'd like some way to patch in the 2nd cards vram to the first so it increases the total. That way I'd have 1536mb of vram to make gta4 hap... |

| DisplayPort outputs are required to be used, however active adapters can also be used convert >2 "legacy" outputs to other display output types. So, with an active DP-to-DVI or active DP-to-VGA those other display input types can be used. So for anyone that wants something other than native display... |

[quote]...
would like to answer but it's a post that will carry away from the subject which is eyefinity
Then I guess an op could move the reply to a new thread, seemed appropriate to me here seeing as eyefinity is part of the next gen for ati. |

Right now my stance is that my next gpu is most likely to be from Intel. It could be wishful thinking to have s... |

All those ati demos, were they done with or without AA?
if it's without or even just 2x, it's not really that impressive. |

This is likely due to the fact that the MP part of the game uses OGL (basically an updated ET:QW engine). SP uses D3D for the video.
I don't get it, wouldn't having both OGL and D3D parts in one game like double development on it? why would they do such a thing? |

I'd rather pay a company that designs proper instead of buying an after market cooler I can't use when I replace the card, and with gpus being the part you replace most often, it's tiresome. I went from ati to ... |

Personnally I try to ignore such leaks. That small fan vent breaks any possibility of the cooler not being a dust-buster level ear-bleeder.
Besides, prototypes and tech. samples are not necessarly same as the final product. |

| ATI and other brand cards already use proprietary connector to 2+ dvi/hdmi/whatever, like for example on their workstation cards to have a low profile card with 4 outputs. I have one here from HP that's a 8400GS with 2 outputs with a 1 connector/2svga outputs dongle. You have the 1st slot with 2 out... |

| Even without it being th2g related and perhaps because my cards are a couple revisions old but to me no driver past 17x.x or so has brought anything major. And they're up to 190.x now.

| If games supported multiple monitors natively like those 2 do you could make things so it wouldn't be poorly split. Such as maps/inventory on one and the play view on the other for games such as WoW. |
