Found this, figured i must share it with you guys http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?psn=000101&pid=355 in short : a 5770 that offers eyefinity on 3 normal dvi monitors, apparently the 5770 comes with this, (http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sapphire_5770_flex/images/6.htm) its a hdmi to dvi adapter. Sapphire claims we dont need a dp mionitor, though we could run 4 monitor eyefinity if we have one. Here : "With the SAPPHIRE HD 5770 FleX, the first two monitors are connected to the DVI outputs, as usual. A third DVI monitor can be connected to the HDMI output with the passive cable adapter supplied or to the DisplayPort output with a simple passive adapter. This allows users with existing DVI monitors to use three of them in ATI Eyefinity mode without any additional investment." |

only thing i noticed it that there is only 1 Dual-Link DVI, the other DVI port on the card is Single Link DVI. Guessing they downgraded the second port to a single link, so they could free up an extra TMDS signal for the HDMI port. All the cards we were used to until now were configured with their 4 TMDS's split, 2 going to each Dual Link DVI port. Only down side i see is you can not run more than two 27" (2560x1440) or 30" (2560x1600) monitors as those monitors need a dual link connection, which is the Displayport & the single DL-DVI output. |
