Have you tried stacking the drivers? Like in stalling 10.12a then installing 11.1 (which is complete bs imho) then installing 11.2. Or just the Hotfix then 11.2.

I've had success stacking 10.12a -> 11.1 -> 11.2.

BTW, anyone know if 5x1P is CrossFire capable? Pondering getting a second 5870 Eyefintiy 6 to help combat low frame rates.

I'm running 5x1 Crossfire with two eyefinity 6 5870s.

Ah, good to know. Hopefully i can find another open box on Newegg with deep discount again. :)

Anyone playing any FPS with 5x1p? wondering if the bezels are troublesome or not.

-Erik

I hardly notice bezels in 5x1, but I think it's because I was previously running 3x2. I went from a 4x2(running 3x2 for eyefinity) down to a 5x1 setup mostly because FPS were impossible in that formation. Also switching back and forth from eyefinity to extended was laggy and just downright buggy when I was running 8 monitors. I like most of the FPS I've tried so far in 5x1. Farcry 2 made me almost nauseous however, but I'm not sure why...maybe my settings were not optimal. Also, I might not be a good example, because I've only played a few hours since I changed to 5x1. But, I will say I like 5x1 more for everyday use.

My only worry, is that now, my center monitor gets my primary focus in 3x1L. I don't know if I would be able to back up and focus on the center 3 primarily or not. Also, right now I have 3 25's, I would be stepping down to either 22's or 23's.

-Erik

I would probably stick with 3 25s then. I've considered only running 3x1 in some of my games.

If I had the money I'd switch to 22" IPS displays with a good VESA mounting system. That's the trouble with all these exotic setups we have, they bleed out money to setup and as enthusiasts we can't leave well enough alone once we've done something. There is always the next best and new thing just around the corner. I think 5x1P will keep me satisfied for awhile though. Well, at least till I get that 20 foot diameter dome and 5 projectors. :lol:

i finally log to the forum. it helps me so many times to rule my 3-display-eyefinity to make some games to function. And today, when i saw the 1st-post-video, i dream awaked. i read every post and i don't know yet if i can make it possible with my 2 HD5830.
