| It's an aspect ratio fix. Are you having trouble getting an EyeFinity mode enabled in the game? That's a different problem entirely. Nope, that worked, Greg, thanks. The game isn't setup for it, regarding the onscreen text and such, but at least it's playable and the correct aspect ratio with Eyefi... |

| Well, shoot, thanks, Greg. I looked at that a few hours ago, but I couldn't tell if that would let me use the Eyefinity rez or not. I'll give it a go. |

:cry:
Looks like I should have done my homework on this before purchasing the game.
Anyone aware of any potential fixes to get this to work for Eyefinity? |

| This is a fantastic question, and with the exception of extraordinarly limited resources at this time in economic history, there is little reason why ATI wouldn't eventually provide support for an operating system that Microsoft plans to support through August 2014. With all due respect to Vista and... |

| Just posting for the record, I was not able to get Eyefinity three screens running simultaneously with the cheap adapter from Monoprice. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5969&seq=1&format=2 I tested with 1920x1200 screens, and although doubtful, i... |

The profiles are preconfigured and hotkeys are bound to their respective key. Nothing happening when using the hotkeys, what p... |

| All I can tell you, is keep fooling with it. Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to make sure the USB portion of the adapter is plugged into a powered USB transformer that plugs directly into the wall. Keep rebooting the machine, switching cables on the three screens, and pray. Probably wouldn't hurt to... |

| Hi, alx, Okay, I bit the bullet (again), and picked up the Apple version of the adapter. I had previously purchased the mini-std cable a week ago or so anticipating this. Of course then I purchased the $30 dedicated plug for the USB adapter. So, $105 + $20 + $30. It took me about 4 hours last night ... |

| (regarding Eyefinity) Is ATI even pursuing this avenue for an adapter to provide some (or rather "any") kind of support for the thousands of us that already have (3) DVI screens on our desks (or more pertinent, for anyone that frequently purchases hardware from Newegg or TigerDirect here the US)? Or... |

Within a day after ordering, they send you the good old, "hey, we didn't know it, but we were actually out of these, and even though our website says they'll be ready to go in a few days, yours probably won't b... |

You MUST have this adapter for those three screens to function with Eyefinity.

| Of course it depends on the scenario, but in one particular simulation, Eyefinity has basically maxed out the capabilities of the remaining hardware. Even the 5850 cards in 3screen are seeing slowdowns due to CPU's that are only capable of 3 to 4 ghz. Depends on the game I suppose. |

Some of these options aren't that expensive, and I may just take the hit and order one of each to test. Hopefully ATI and some of the... |
