I was an early adopter of the new AMD/ATI EYEFINITY technology, bought a 5870 the day the went on sale, and picked up 3 Dell 2408WFP's. I mainly just play two games, WoW and TF2. And playing in either Landscape mode with 5760x1200res or Portrait with 3600x1920res is totally unreal I would say my big...

This card interests me more than the upcoming dual GPU 5970. First off it is a single 5870 with 2gb memory, that is very good and great for Eyefinity setups. And I always thought a 5 x 1 with all displays in Portrait mode will look fucking awesome giving a 6000 x 1920res for 5 - 24" monitors Whats t...

Me too, I loaded up the game, set it to 5760x1200res, and was unplayable, could not even see the menu fully t...

very cool. I have 3 Dell2408WFP's, I should try them out in Portrait mode. It makes the games look normal, while the triple widescreen looks freaked out and way too stretched. Do you play WoW ? Would love to see that in Portrait mode, or any MMORPG, maybe Aion or WarHammer Online if you have any of ...

I truly think now that triple surround would look best with a large center display in Landscape, and the sides smaller in Portrait. I bet the best Eyefinity setup if AMD allowed it to work would be 20" + 30" + 20" for a grand total of 4960x1600res. You would still have an awesome center monitor at 3...

You have all seen my Eyefinity thread I am sure with my 3 - 24" Dell2408WFP's, they are 1920x1200res each with a grand total now of 5760x1200 resolution. Was wondering though, for my main/center screen if I can swap in my awesome display I really like my 27" Dell 2707WP, it is also the same res as t...

You can set FOV for WoW in the config.wtf file. This is nothing new as far as an issue though. Most 3D engines get the fisheye effect because they were never designed with such wide aspect ratios in mind. The closer to you get to 180 degrees the worse it gets in many 3d engines. This is an old issu...

My only gripe with Eyefinity so far is the fish eye lens or very stretched out look on the side monitors in games, it is pretty bad and annoying to me now. In WoW it is almost a distraction, the images look bent or like an acid trip all distorted too much, where it does not seem to go with the perfe...

Few things I hope you are all working on, I know all of us Eyefinity owners are looking for soon. - Bezel management - Dealing with the game developers to create the correct aspect ratio or FOV (field of view) for these extreme wide resolutions. - Crossfire to work in Eyefinity - Some 2d Desktop opt...

With my Eyefinity setup 3 - 24" Dell 2408WFP's...I wonder if I should try them out all in Portrait mode ? Instead of 5760x1200res that would give me 3600x1920res ? That is the exact same number of pixels, but might look better for gaming ? Still a wide screen, but get a lot of vertical height, and m...

And about having the start button & the task icons in the center monitor, I just use regular windows extended desktop to get that.


How exactly do I get that going ? I am totally unfamiliar with that

I have an Eyefinity setup with three Dell2408WFP's. My biggest gripe is how Windows 7 Pro looks and works now with this extreme resolution of 5760x1200. My Start and menu bars are stuck on the far left screen, and my clock and task bar icons all the way on the far right monitor. I would like to plac...

I dunno, Darth. I stumbled on it while searching for this type of stand. Maybe whoever is my seller had a couple made up in advance, and is selling them as they can. They're getting low on stock according to my link, so maybe that could explain the price, too. I'm really hopeful it works just as I ...
