Finally got around and got EyeFinity setup at 3am last night....


What a pain in the arss.. I got the card friday afternoon..
1) the card needs to have an Active DP-> DVI adapter or a display with native DP input to run in triple monitor mode
2) Triple monitor mode won't work on WinXP with the current drivers. (not sure when it will) so I have to install Windows 7 64bit.
(first time using it.. it do seem pretty good. but now I have to reinstall bunch of programs and setting I use)
3) I have to open one of my monitor that I have to resell to test
4) take out a drive cage on my case..

good thing I got a native DP monitor new to test.

anyway its all done heres some pictures
Size Comparison. (it hard to tell but the 5870 is longer by alittle)


just a tad too long


have to take out the drive cage


I have to use plastic strap to keep the drive in place


all in

heres a knife to prove the rig is mine :P

some games running on 3x1920x1200

Here's some pic of the input lag between the BenQ G2400WD vs the Dell 2408WFPb A02

All running in 3x1920x1200. I tried about 7 games (mostly current ones) and they all work with the exception of 1 (sega rally Revo).
The game that doesn't run I think it have more to do with it being on Win7 as it won't even run on regular 1920x1200 resolution.

Those games were already working and preconfigured for Th2g already.
The actual setup of the games for eyefinity was just changing the resolution from my preconfigured 4320x900 to 5760x1200.

I really have to admit playing in in full triple 1920x1200 native resolution is such a better/clearer/shaper picture than the 1440x900 triple I use to do on the Th2g.

Wolfenstein 3



deadspace



COD4



nEED for Speed: Shift



PainKiller



UT2004


so apparently DX8 games do support higher thank 4096 resolution

Nice shots, Update the sig ;)

Its crazy how the minor distance in length between the 9800gx2 and the 5870 caused you to have to remove the drive cage, just how tight was it before?

Ooo I forgot Dead Space supported triple wide, I'll have to revisit that one. Wonder if its less/more creepy than the super zoomed in shoulder cam with just 1 screen.

Framerates good at full native on all 3 24" panels?

I am a bit concerned with newer games that a single card may not be enough.

looks great buddy .... thanks for posting that up ...

I am patiently waiting on whats gonna happen with this whole Eyefinity fiasco ...

Need another Wolfenstein shot - with Da Knife. :mrgreen:
Congrats mate. 3x 1920 with no third-party hard- or software... if you except the OS and DP panel. Impressive anyway.
