FragU - yeah man u are in for a good one, i can gaurantee 110% the adapter works, im suprised dell adapter is a bizlink adapter - low and behold bizlink is the first active DP certified adapter for eyefinity. so far left4dead, farcry2, crysis, cs:source, hawx average around 80-120fps with medium settings - not bad for 5760 x 1200 resolution.. purrre insanity lol |

Just got my 5870 installed. I'm on XP so I'll have to wait for Win7 for some Eyefinity goodness, plus figure out what to do for side monitors. Anyway, for anyone wondering, the 5870 is 11 - 1/16" at the longest point. And it angles in shorter from the center so where it meets my drive-cage, it's ~11", giving me less than 1/8" clearance. Phew. The thought of taking a dremel, and thus flying metal shavings, to the inside of my computer (Cooler Master Centurion 5 case) wasn't very appealing. |

[quote] I'm more liable to believe that what BSODed the rig was the 3d engine seeing more height that width in the initial startup. I've encountered that in several games lately with playing with my screens in portrait mode. I've read quite a bit of bad reviews about the Apple adapter though. I'm currently neutral about it until we get someone here with an actual triple-head background to talk about it though. The trick is to start the game in a standard screen resolution then switch to the portrait resolution. Start the game up in 1280x1024 (or something standard) then apply 3600x1920.Except the rig was working perfectly fine with the DP plugged in direct. I was showing only 2 screens (the Apple one didn't work) but the system picked it up.. he enable EF and BAM it was BSOD. The only thing different from his totally successful other set up was using the Apple adaptor. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. |
