Widescreen Gaming Forum

damn it's close to 3am and I AM STILL FUDGING with the card

did anyone in this forum got 3x eyefinity working yet?

i have nothing else to say, i highly doubt that the powered/active DP to DVI will work..

geniv2 - not even ur native dp monitor works?!?!?!?!?! ati u motherfudgers...

mmmm fudge :)

But man I am feeling for you guys. This has been a clusterfudge from start to finish.

I was so looking forward to 3x1920x1200.....looks like I will be looking longer :(

But best of luck

Hi

Not sure what you guys are doing but ive got my 5870 card setup with a dell 2409 and two crappy AOC 24"dvi monitors.

What you need to do is go into the desktop and displays section where it shows the three monitors.

You might need to either diable two of the monitors then select the option to make a group it will then arrange them for the maximum res for eyefinity.

let me know if that helps if not tell me exactly what you are trying to do.

Wait... WTF?!?! This is just getting worse and worse by the minute. I'm sticking with Nvidia.

Wow. I'm sure ATI made the whole thing up. * Sarcasm.

If you're gonna go with theoretical remodels of the outputs how about this:
3 non-standard connectors and 3 sets of dual-connector dongles included. 3x dual-dvi, 3x dual-hdmi and 3x dual-dp.

A bit like this hp 8400gs I have has just 1 non-standard connector to dual-vga.

I doubt it's my system.

I run Windows XP Pro sp3 32 bit
hardware is as follows:
C2D Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz, Enermax Liberty 620watt PSU, Gigabyte GA-965PDS3 mobo, 4x2gb OCZ DDR2 800mhz, 60gb SSD + 320g Maxtor SATAII HD+ WD Raptor X 150g, SB Xi-Fi Extreme Gamer, WinTV PVR 150, 16x DVDRW Liteon, Logitech Cordless MX3100 desktop w MX1000 mouse + G9 laser mouse, Logitech cordless rumblepad 2, Sennheiser HDR100 wireless headset, ATI Remote Wonder II, Logitech QuickCamPro 9000,

the card installs properly.

maybe Asus fludge some how...

even at bios boot/staretup I only get 2 monitors at a time

Hi

Please read my post a few posts back.

You will only get two screens at bios it doesnt come into three screens until you get into windows.

Im really supprised people are having problems setting this up i scratched my head to start off with but its quite easy once you get into the ati control manager.

The other thing is are you running the latest drives as i noted that the drivers that came on the disc with my radeon were not the latest.
