3 people that have the tried the Accell. (Deke) (Mixelplix) and (scooby) each of these Individuals report no problems scooby did a Bios flash. but was the fix from the flash. or the adapter?


For me it was the new bios that I flashed the card to, the Accell adaptor I have before the flash still was blinking and now after the flash (now tested 48hrs straight) no more blinking or blackouts. I must add thou that when switching between Eyefinity and extended mode the DP monitor will blink but a quick "Disable/Enable" fixes that after which the monitors are issue free.

Well, either way I will be testing the Accell sometime late tomorrow. and returning the Dell adapter. In the mean time I'm disabling Eyefinity. forgetting about it tonight. enabling my other card that's just been sitting there doing nothing except looking good. and enjoy some dirt 2 in crossfire bliss.

Well I was going to try to flash my bios to get my version of this problem to go away but alas when i made a bootable usb and used atiflash and followed the instructions to the letter is simply told me that "no such file could be found". Dejectedly i tried ATIWinflash and it simply will not run on windows 7 32 bit, i click the .exe, it runs for about half a second and exits so i cant do it that way either. Fortunately for me, this problem only prevents me from playing modern warfare 2 triplewide, but it still would have been nice to give it a shot.

Flashing your BIOS and adding more voltage wont do anything (as I have tried this already)

I'm wondering if I should try dual link DVI-d . I just noticed all mine are single link. not sure if it's needed. as single will work up to 1920 x 1200. but I don't know. it wouldn't hurt right?

Well...I didn't know this (LOL)


WHAT ARE SINGLE AND DUAL LINKS ?

The Digital formats are available in DVI-D Single-Link and Dual-Link as well as DVI-I Single-Link and Dual-Link format connectors. These DVI cables send information using a digital information format called TMDS (transition minimized differential signaling). Single link cables use one TMDS 165Mhz transmitter, while dual links use two. The dual link DVI pins effectively double the power of transmission and provide an increase of speed and signal quality; i.e. a DVI single link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 1920 x 1200, while a DVI dual link can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600.
