| Hmm, I currently have 2 active mini display port to dvi adaptors. It looks more likely that I need to buy three entirely new regular DP -> dvi adaptors at around $160nzd on top because I can't source any adaptors that will let me use them in this card.. That puts a damper on it as the price hikes up... |

| I am thinking about this card to get rid of tearing as well as hopefully improved AA over the 6970 series (dont know if I will get that?) Right now I use 2xdvi and one dp with an active adaptor. How do I hook this up? I guess I need another 2 active adaptors of DP->DVI and 3 three adaptors to conver... |

Bad luck, I have had one report of it working so I guess it's not consistent.
I am going to put in another rig dedicated to flying and keep my current one for racing. I will need another graphics card so I might try the nvidia with 2xdvi and 1 hdmi. |

So I am guessing that none of the other 7970 cards have enough clocks to use the 2xdvi's and the hdmi together?
Looks like my country may be out of stock of the asus EF6 until beginning of next month. Hoped there would be another option! |

| Thanks for the information. I even started looking into motion seating that creates G forces, but most of those chairs are 7-12K in cost! A normal chair and force feedback wheel is good enough for now, LOL. Thanks, ELmO This one is $1800 and has had good reviews that I have seen. http://ultraforces... |

When that game switches to 1920x1080 I want it on the middle monitor but I don't want to have to turn off the side monitors to stop the distraction of having the same image on each side.

Phew, a system restore to a point before the tabbing out of game has fixed it. Some setting must have got corrupted.
Glad it takes them by default as I have never played with system restore before. |

| Actually, I can plug it in to my laptop and that in to my 30" to see if the adaptor is the problem. In some way I wish it ws stuffed so at least I know where the issue is and I can get another, and play! :) |

The good news is that it seems to work, 3x1 eyefinity on the 5970 and a single monitor on the 5770. It took a little tweaking and I wont know until I ... |

I currently have eyefinity running on a 5970 with 3x1 and I am not sure if I can add another cheaper card like a 5450 to attach a forth ... |

I was really hoping that there would be a lot less bezel and I assume he did his best to get the minimum bezel width. As I currently overlap the monitors and am happy with that I am pr... |
