Eyefinity + Crossfire

[Tom|Nbk]

Do we know if Eyefinity works in Crossfire setups yet?

I.E

Can I stick two monitors on one card (2xDVI) and then the third monitor on my second 5770 DVI or has this not been enabled yet and we still need the active adapter?

Reason being you can get a 23" 1080 panel for just shy of 100 quid now I'm debating just getting three and selling my single 24" DGM.

Oh bugger I also forgot, I feed my 32" HDTV through HDMI off my primary adapter would this affect it?

 

[Tom|Nbk]

I'm pretty sure they did manage to get it enabled with the latest drivers!

/hunts down info.

Here ya go - 9.12 Shizz

Oh christ don't tell me that *Wallet tightens*

Edit - Yes I still think you'll need a DP adapter...

So I can't actually use 3xDVI

2x off one card and 1x off the other?

Definitely not shelling out for the adapter

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Yea by the looks of things even in a crossfire setup for eyefinity to work you need to have all 3 monitors connected to one card.

Bummer

EDIT : Snap Omega

Yeah so DP adapter in DP port and 2 DVI in the DVI ports. I think they just tweaked code to allow the 2nd cards GPU power now.

Yus but with adapters being dodgy and the only decentish solution seems to be the sapphire one being released I guess it'll have to hold off.

Not paying 70 quid for an adapter!

 

[Tom|Nbk]

£70 or £400 for a DP monitor?

I don't really trust the adapter myself either. Just hold off until the DP become cheaper I suppose.

Yea, I was looking at some DGM screens available for 100 or so a pop it makes it a cheap setup, the convertor/adaptor thing just offsets it a bit

 

[Tom|Nbk]

I guess the ridiculous markup on the convertor can be done due to the cost of DP

Not much use for gaming though, because the bezel will be in the middle of where you're looking. I can see that getting annoying.

Yea definitely.
