He means 4200 series IGP using surroundview and windowed games not Windows games. |

I like the apple one. Sure its has its bugs and doesn't work well for most people but if it does work it has the possibility to run at higher than 60hz which can be important in the future.
Mine works well for me. |

The only thing that would fix my blinking issues was flashing the newer GPU BIOS with the increased Displayport signal strength. Different drivers or USB power sources didn't help for me. |

That adapter looks like it should work as it is active. It is only Single link DVI though so it will not support 76Hz at 1680 x 1050 because of bandwidth limitations. Single link DVI supports a maximum of 1,920 × 1,200 @ 60 Hz which is equivalent to about 1680 x 1050 at 73Hz. To run the monitors at ... |

Hi here is the driver but it won't make the displayport adapter work if it isn't already. All it does is change the refresh rate from the default 60Hz to a higher 76Hz for all the monitors. If your having problems with the displayport you need to make sure your using a compatible active adapter and ... |

Thanks for good answers! Anybody know why ATI made the cards that way? what is the reason that we cant use 6x dvi? is it to make displayport more known? ATI said it was about keeping the cost down. Using displayport to drive the 3rd + screens made the cards only a little more expensive which was im... |

Hi guys, Thanks for your contribution on fixing the this resolution issue. Like many others, I am desperately looking to get my 2209WA work @75Hz. However, it appears to be impossible for me to achieve that. I am using the Ati Radeon HD5570 graphic card and Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. I have tried to mak... |

It's not possible to mix and match portrait and landscape with eyefinity. You can do some custom setups if you run the games in windowed mode and stretch the window or use custom resolutions if the game has the capacity for it. You can even work with surroundview to allow a game to be stretched over... |

The cards are only capable of outputing to two DVI sources. The other connections need to be converted from displayport into DVI using active displayport converters. The adapters that come with the card and other cheap adapters are passive adapters which means they dont actually convert the signal f... |

You would be financially better off using a separate video card to drive the other two displays.
That way you could buy a cheaper 5870 not the 6 edition. You would also only need 1 active adapter. |

I think the VGA adapter is the way to go to save money not to save trouble. The Dual link DVI Digital adapters are better over all especially at higher resolutions. 1) It doesnt matter which monitor is used but probably better to keep a digital display in the middle as the picture will be sharper. 2... |

You could get the apple adapter listed here http://www.ebuyer.com/product/161949 it works well for me and has some advantages over the Accell like higher refresh rate support. The downside is that you need a female mini displayport to displayport adapter which I couldn't find in the UK but I got one... |

Jedi Academy has a maximum FOV of 100 it kinda sucks to play in eyefinity.
Almost all new games seem to have multi monitor support. Nvidia releasing surround vision has also helped with newer titles. |

You don't need SoftTH in conjunction with eyefinity. They are alternative technologies so you should uninstall that and solve your eyefinity problems first. WoW works with eyefinity. The lowest setting for AA in WoW is 1x but why do you want to turn it off? Performance isn't going to be an issue wit... |

Yes you would need to buy an aftermarket cooler to overclock properly while keeping temperatures reasonable. That review from xbitlabs is somewhat useless, they didn't use fair comparisons. 2GB vs 6GB, DDR2 vs DDR3, 8X PCIE vs 16X and no NB frequency identified. They also don't use any quad core opt... |

You could go AM2+ and keep your RAM and go with a Phenom2 quad core. It wouldn't be quite be as fast as a I5 setup but would cost a lot less and be better than Core2Quad. |
