I would think so, I never liked the idea of mixing monitors for widescreen setup due to variation in brands. Just think of any time you have walked through Best Buy at the different TV or monitors. You always see some that look brighter or more crisp than others.

No, the dvi cable attached to the monitor with the adapter is a different brand. All my monitors are the same

I don't see how that should matter, but hey half the stuff here is being done for the first time by people so odd ball things like this should be the norm.

You know what's a real mystery to me?

Why didn't ATI simply make their own adapter?

Given the paucity of DP-equipped displays (and there are NO large-screens), the (equally rare) DVI adapter becomes an essential accessory for 99% of end users. It would also have saved ATI a ton of headaches associated with all the support calls due to these flaky adapters.

If Apple and game consoles have taught us anything, it's that bringing the hardware in-house can have a most salutary effect on compatibility and, ultimately, customer satisfaction.

Awesome McKie, glad to hear it's been stable so far. I think that should do it for you, now it's gaming time. :rockout

Just an FYI on my stuff so far. Well since my last post I am still solid as a rock. I do though still get a little flicker during the switch from extended to Eyefinity but it seems to stabilize itself and the flickering goes away and this all happens within a few seconds.

In my experience with my three Samsung 245T I don't see any difference between the screens, it may be their but it must be very minimal. I also want to add that my Hotkey configs are working fine now for some reason all the monitors are always in the right places. No need to configure any more. I guess the fresh install of Window7 and all the new drivers help after my flashing of the card.

BTW all my cables are all gold tip 6' dual link DVI and the Accell USB is connected to my mobo's USB port.

Now all we need is Cat 9.12 with bezel management. :wink:

Beta's are not released for every ATI release and hardly ever on the ATI website. There was a 9.12 beta released for XP on Guru3D. The Windows 7 beta turned out to be a modified 9.10 driver. No 9.12 was released to the general public at least.

I'll wait for the official release. My system is running very well now and don't want to mess it up by using beta drivers at least for now. :wink:
