Any issues with screen flicker with your eyefinity set up?
Nice set up by the way!
Jay
Hello Jay.
Cheers buddy! Spent quite a bit of time setting it up properly hehehe. Nope no flickering at all budz. Thankfully my card didn't have a cold bug either!
What clocks are you running on your 5850 mate? You've got a nice eyefinity setup as well.
DG -Cheers matey!
Hey guys.
Apologies for the late reply. Work has been extremely painful lately.
MikeJasonSmith - They are Altec Lansing Speakers
Mx5021
Jay - My active displayport is the one from Dell. No problems whatsoever buddy!
Richard - Hey Hey mate! Just sent ya an email regarding the overclock! I hope I haven't destroyed it grrrrr
Phil 1978 - Yup the Eyefinity setup takes up a lot of room. My wife and I had to calculate really carefully regarding the space available on the galant desk. to Fit all 24 monitors plus the 800D AND the speakers was a little tricky at first but if you play your cards right, it fits like a glove. The table is extremely sturdy as well. The T Legs which I opted for pushed the price up but in the end, the desk cost £179.00 which to me was a bargain in terms of the size and sturdiness compared to other black desks out there. I only wanted a black desk and believe me mate, to find a black eyefinity desk is not easy. Looked for a week.
- Will try to post more pics and updates this weekend hopefully!
Have a great weekend chaps!

Meridiusuk - Hey mate. You will need an active display port Adapter from OCUK to convert it from DVI to displayport.

MeridiusUK - Nope not at all mate.
Mikejasonsmith - You will need the following.
2 x DVI Cables. I recommend getting one really long cable (5m) for the furthest one. And 2 normal ones of course which already come with the monitor.
1 x Displayport Adaptor (Active)
Your 5970 should already come with a mini display port converter to a normal display port so just the 3 above cables.

Hi Mike,
In my opinion, Yes. The 5970 is an amazing card. You should be able to get 5870 clock speeds without any issues as well. My Card has a waterblock fitted by Richard though so I'm able to push the clocks a lot higher. But the 5970 has my vote. Along with the 10.3B Catalyst Drivers.
Note - I'm sure Richard will vouch for your choice of monitor too
I've got a short video on facebook if you'd like to see the monitors in action. Its set up so everyone can see it.
