Have been waiting so long for this hub, like many others i presume.
But now it seems i need 2 of these to enable 5x1P (and hopefully 5x1P+1) with my 6970.
And with most games being so demanding i better get a 7970/7990 first... :wtf:

Remarkable its a Dutch company to first deliver the long awaited MST hub :cheers:

Well, it may be cheaper just to get a card with 6 outputs if you're buying a new card anyway.

Here's a list that needs updating that I put together. I currently have 2 MSI Lightnings and they can do up to six outputs. The reason I want this hub, is so that in the future I can run 5x1 Portrat on screens that require Dual-Link connections (such as 5 2560x1600 monitors or 5 120Hz Monitors) or that if I wanted, I could buy a reference card in the future and still have a lot of outputs to populate.


This. Using the 7970 DC2 for 5x1 right now. Tossed in a vanilla non-ref 7970 for a little extra oompf.

Earlier tonight:

Sorry, my camera's less than stellar.

What monitors are you running? Also, what did you do to get around tearing? I have tearing on every monitor accept the main one.

You either use 3x DP to DL-DVI adapters or other hardware from Matrox/Dadapath or such.

Found a couple more shops for it:

http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/331947/c ... 9-hub.html

Cheapest one just below 100 EUR. All Dutch, but not sure which of them actually send stuff abroad.

Any tests?
I am wondering if you have to use native DP monitors or maybe active vga/dvi adapter will work.

Sorry, been away on travel.

5x Dell U2412M.

As far as tearing, turn on V-sync and it goes away for me.

Tearing seems to be very game-dependent. Arkham City never tears and only stutters once every 15 mins or so. Planetside 2 tear every time I rotate a little bit... it's an FPS, so pretty much constantly.

Passive adapters are supposed to work. It has tdms clocks imbedded.

Anyone buy one from the US? I want one, but not sure where I should get one from. I'd feel better if it was from amazon, or somewhere in the US.
