No, it's not working @ 5040x1050 yet.
-1 monitor, 1 card works.
-1 monitor, 2 cards in SLI works
-2 monitors, 2 cards in SLI works
-3 monitors, 2 cards in SLI (Surround) doesn't work. It defaults to 3840x1024 and will not increase in Windows or in any game. As soon as I try to engage Surround it goes to the crapper.
Can anyone verify the monitors HAVE to be the SAME manufacturer and model and that might be the problem? From what Nvidia's information says, they don't have to be, so long as the same resolution and refresh Hz. Could this be the problem?
I may try Eyefinity with the 5970 to see if 5040x1050 will work. I will be getting the Radeon 6990 actually before launch, so no worries about horsepower; I'm ONLY concerned about getting the proper resolution working.
Exactly the same thing for me. Everything works but the surround!!
I just sold my 5970 2 days ago to a guy from work for a good price (for me). It ran 5040x1050 perfectly.
One word of caution!! The first month I had some blanking on and off of one screen when I was using a vga to displayport adapter.
I said heck with it and got a dell p2210 monitor that has a dp input and a monoprice mini dp to dp cable for 10 bucks.
Since I got the native dp monitor it has been smooth sailing.
I just ordered last night 2 of the same dell p2210 monitors recertified for 159 apiece with free 3-5 day shipping.
When I get them at the end of the week I will report back to this thread on if I can get the nvidia 260 gtx's to work!
I spent more time goofing around in the last two days messing with the nvidia solution than I did in 11 months with eyefinity.
I know alot of the other members here have had fantastic luck here with the nvidia cards but I do think they had matching displays. We will see fri- sat when the new monitors get here. It was nice to see the bezel mgt work on the nvidia solution. Ati needs matching monitors for bm to work.
Weird that bezel mgt works on nvidia with mismatched monitors but ati needs matching monitors for bm. O well in a week I will have matching monitors!
Remember the 5970 works very good with a native dp monitor. :cheers
Wait for the 6990! I sold my 5970 early so I could get top dollar for it. The 5970 runs out of vram in certain games with only 1 gb per core.
The 6990 is projected to have 2gb per core.
