"...conter85 used CONFUSION...
It was SUPER EFFECTIVE...
Davros Faints...
Who will come out next?"

Okay now that that is over, I'm actually surprised. AMD doesn't make ANY adapters. Also I'm sure that you mean the other direction (MiniDP->DVI and MiniDP->HDMI). What are the model numbers of the adapters you're using. Or at least link us to those adapters so we can help you out.

A single 5870 can drive, at most, 3 displays at once.
2x 5870 could drive 3 displays each, for a maximum of 6 displays.
Crossfire mode only supports displays connected to the primary display. You can NOT have displays connected to both cards in Crossfire mode.

So, you can not use 4 displays and Crossfire at the same time with 5870s. You'd need cards that can drive 4 displays on a single card.

He's using an "Eyefinity 6 Edition" So he can use 4 displays at once. (I should know, I'm using one right now)

perhaps if the above poster could post a step by step guide - you could follow it

only reason i can think of why its not working for you is
1: 1 or more of your adapters are not active
2: your tv has a different polarity (dont know much about the subject)

It's just like any other eyefinity setup.

You connect everything up using the right connectors.
Put all the monitors you want in the group in cloned mode together.
Create Group.
Select positions of monitors.
Bezel comp (if applicable)
done.

did you have to buy any adapters or did they come with the card

Thanks for all the Answers

This Problem can not Fix by Normaly Way (Look the Error-Messege in Start of this Thread)

I have this configuration of Mini-Displayport Adapters:

1x MDP to HDMI G9858C219-003-H Wieson AMD Status Gold ( Beamer)

2x KS30009-131 Rev A1-4.1 AMD Part Number 6110028400G (for 24" Acer)
1x Club 3D CAC-1152 (for 24" Acer)

AMD said they Shure all Aktive-Adapters

And 2 HD5870 Eyefinity6 Card´s with 12 Mini-Displayports on MSI 890FXA GD-70

I want the following Configuration:


With Beamer as Extended - On One Card with the Secound Card in Crossfire,

I have Contact AMD-Support , normaly i can use 12 Displays on my 2x5870 Eyefinity6 Card´s or 6 Displays and Crossfire

All the Normaly ways i have go with AMD-Support - don´t Work , they do not know why

AMD-Support say they Build my System and look for the Problem - Now i must Wait

What version of drivers are you using? I think that is your problem. With 10.12 on my sisters comp with eyefinity6 I setup a 2x2 display group of 1920x1200 (3840x2400) to run a vp2290b and once I did that I could not extend to her second monitor (1920x1080). The drivers simply would not allow me to do it. I could, however, do clone to all 5 outputs.

Later I upgraded to the 11.2 drivers and I had *no* issues creating the 2x2 display group and then enabling the 5th output (second monitor) as extended desktop. One thing I did first was disable the output to the 5th monitor after I hooked it up. Then manually created the display group of the other 4 outputs while the 5th one was still disabled. Once I had the display group created I could enable (as extended) the 5th output.

I think ATI's drivers are just finicky and you have to use the right ones. I am guessing the version that the other poster who got this working also allows this like the 11.2 (current newest) ones.
