Hello,

I'm hoping this is a silly question.

I've got an MSI R7 260X with 3 monitors connected (1 via Display port, 2 via DVI). In the CCC I am not seeing any options for setting up Eyefinity.

The card is outputting to the 3 screens.

I am using the latest Beta drivers.

The options I get are:
Pinned
Presets
Desktop Management
Common Display Tasks
Video
Audio
Information

What have I missed??!
 
You've got me stumped, your DVI/DVI/DP setup should work and give you the option in CCC. Can you get a display on all three monitors at the moment, or is one disabled? If you enable all screens do you then get the Eyefinity option?

Just a note to other people reading/searching, the 260X is similar to the 290 in that you can enable Eyefinity using the two DVI & the HDMI so don't need the DP output to run 3 screens, provided the screens are the same make & model (or have identical timings, which pretty much means same make & model).

Edit - just seen you've already said it's outputting to all 3 screens currently. :( Then I genuinely have no idea. Worth trying the latest WHQL drivers just in case it's a weird bug?
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys!

I can get a display on all three monitors, none are disabled. It extends the desktop fine. Just still not getting Eyefinity options.

Do all 3 monitors have to be identical?

Yup, definitely supports it:

Have you tried the WHQL drivers? If you're moving from a previous AMD card have you reinstalled drivers? If moving from Nvidia was it a fresh Windows install, or used DDU to remove the old drivers, or just uninstall the Nvidia parts from the normal Windows uninstaller?
 
OK, so after uninstalling the beta drivers and installing 14.4 I get exactly the same options. No eyefinity options.

Would I get them if only 1 monitor was connected? I am drawing a blank here!

You won't get the Eyefinity option with only 1 monitor connected.

Try starting the PC with 2 or 3 connected and see if you get the option.

If that's not working then try starting with only 1 and connect the others afterwards checking for the Eyefinity option after the second and third are connected.
 
If you right click the desktop and select screen resolution, does windows show 3 monitors.
My eyefinity in catalyst does,nt show unless windows is showing 3
 
I've tried starting with various configurations of monitors plugged in and adding and removing.
Both Windows and CCC will show that 3 monitors are connected, I'm just not getting any eyefinity options!
I've tried lowering screen resolution too but to no avail.
 
On my options if have just the 1 monitor running are.
Pinned
Presets
Desktop Management
common display tasks
my digital flat panels
video
gaming
performance
audio

3 x 19" HP Monitors (this is for a work project).

I had set the resolution of all 3 down to 1024x768 which takes me over the max.

I'll set to 800x600 and test.
