I've have 3 120hz monitors but i didnt know till setting it up that ive only got 1 dvi port on each of my 5850 cards.

As far as i know you can only plug into 1 card when in xfire, so im left with 1 dvi,1 hdmi and 1 displayport.

hdmi 1.4 does 120hz but the 5850s are hdmi 1.3 doh, so i guess thats 120hz out for now

Anyway, I've got eyefinity set up but the screen connected by hdmi looks blurry and there's a black border around screen?

Its not the monitor as ive swapped them and its the same whn running from hdmi port?

Any ideas?

thanks

The middle monitor is connected by hdmi, you can see theres a black border around the screen, how do i fix this?

Problem is my 5850s only have 1 dvi, so i have to use the hdmi, what a nightmare.

Also all monitors have the same settings, the dvi and displayport monitors look the same but the hdmi doesn't, its more blurry and the colours different.

all done thanks.

i had to disable eyefinity and the other 2 monitors, then i could more the bar in to overscan, then renabled monitors and eyefinity.

Thanks for all your help.
