Widescreen Gaming Forum

I just updated the list with the AMD FirePro S10000 6GB [1xDL-DVI, 4xMiniDP]. It looks like a 7990 repurposed.

EDIT: Also added Colorfire XStorm 7850 X6 Eyefinity Pro 2GB [6xMiniDP] and VTX3D HD 7870 X-Edition 2GB [6xMiniDP] - Have not found this for sale anywhere.

EDIT 2: Just added ASUS MATRIX 7970 GHz Edition 3GB [4xDP,2xSL-DVI]* as well.

Better question is how's availability. Looks like another vaporware card.

News is trickling out about the new R9 200 series cards (release October/November). The AMD R9 290X should come with 2x DVI, 1x HDMI and 1x mDP. It will however come with a small bump to 4GB vram. C'mon AMD and manufacturers, give me a 6mDP 8GB version to gobble up Y'know, one that's actually available and for a halfway decent price.

Man, I don't know if we'll ever get it again. I think AMD thinks everyone will just use the MST HUB, but it's not able to be found easily in the USA. My lightnings are okay for 3 monitors, but without having at least 5 miniDP, I cant do 5 monitors without at least having one monitor not syncing. I think AMD's going to push me to 4K and just running 3840x1080 (32:9) or 3840x1646 (21:9) or even 3840x720 (48:9) but that might be too small, but great for recording Eyefinity gameplay videos.

Looks like the Radeon R9 295x will be 4x mDP + 1x DVI. It's currently rumored to have a $1500 price tag but I'm still excited!

Updated, I also added the Firepro W9100. It can handle 6 4K screens @ 60Hz. This is the first time I've seen the ability for an AMD card to have more than 6 video streams (it's would take 12 for current 4k monitors).

Updated with:

Eyefinity 5
SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 390 8GB [3xDP(1.2),1xDVI(DL),1xHDMI(1.4)]
GIGABYTE GAMING-8GD Radeon R9 390 8GB [3xDP(1.2),1xDVI(DL),1xHDMI(1.4)]
SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 390X 8GB [3xDP(1.2),1xDVI(DL),1xHDMI(1.4)]
GIGABYTE GAMING-8GD Radeon R9 390X 8GB [3xDP(1.2),1xDVI(DL),1xHDMI(1.4)]

Eyefinity 6
PowerColor AX7850 Radeon HD 7850 2GB Eyefinity 6 Edition [6xMiniDP]

Not sure about this one. It has 5 ports and is a R9 370, but it looks like it's a rebrand of the 7850, so can it use all of it's outputs?

Potentially Eyefinity 5
HIS Radeon R7 370 IceQ X OC 2GB [2xMiniDP(1.2a),1xDVI(DL),1xDVI(SL),1xHDMI(1.4a)]

Let me know if I missed some of the new cards coming out. I think it's stupid that we still don't get top tier cards with Eyefinity 6 ability. The fury X should have had 6xMiniDp 1.2a so that we could do 6x4K @ 60Hz Freesync.

hey suiken do you think i can run 6x 34" widescreen monitors off 1 fury x card?

Which ones? The 3440x1440 ones or 2560x1080?

I'm certain that you can run 6x2560x1080 of a fury x, it would just require 2 (although I'd recommend 3) MST HUBs. Eyefinity doesn't like when you mix connection types, so going full display port would be most recommended. It get rid of a tearing issue due to timings being different on DP versus DVI/HDMI.


I just realized you didn't say ULTRA-widescreen, what's the resolution of the monitors? This is more important than anything.
