Is running 3x 30" monitors just overkill? I’ve Gone from 3x 27" monitors to a single 30" but miss the eyefinity to much so want to change back.. : S
 
i keep thinking about changing my 3 23" eyefinity to a 27" or 30" monitor but know i would miss the 3 screens, im tempted on getting 3 Iiyama ProLite E2773HDS now, as for would 3 30" be overkill, nonsense i say there is no such thing as overkill in pc gaming
 
As for 3x30” I’m not sure, I had been using 3 Hanns-g 27.5” monitors and they did work well just had to turn my head a little too much lol.. I was just thinking 3x 24” at 5760x1200 would be better plus I can find a triple monitor stand for them easy unlike anything bigger..
The other problem is as much as I like the 30” screen I hate the glare you get from the ips, it’s like I always have a shadow over me and 3 screens doing that may just p*** me off lol.. only because it shouldn’t at that price :s
 
Hi Crezzlin

i would go for the three 30" moniotrs, im guessing you like the big size of the 30" monitor at least that way you dont lose the ability to play on a nice 30" when the game doesnt support eyefinity.

Plus the Hazros can be put in portrait mode so essentially will work like you have the 6 monitor setup or not far short from it

when i get a chance ill try a put a piccy up of my desk with the 3 Hazro's
 
Thanks stanton, I would like to see that if you get the time :) I just need to get them past the gf :s

Hi Crezzlin

Apologies for the delay in getting a pic up been busy at work most of the week.

This is the best pic i could get:



Apolgies my desk isnt the tidiest at the moment!
 
Thanks! That looks nice ;) Yeah I'm still 50/50 , just set up my old hann-g's again in portrait mode this time for the first time, WOW I'm loving it and would like it more so on 3 30's.. Just trying to use the TN panels without the dark patches doing me head in but I'm putting up with it.. :s I'm sure I will give in and get 2 more screens like you :) any joy with your 7970's with Eyefinity yet?



 
no luck with the 7970's at the moment, there with ocuk at the moment for testing but have been on test since monday awaiting to hear back from them.

ive got my 6950's in crossfire back in my rig at the moment not had a problem with them and completely stable just not enough oomphh to run many games at that res
 
hi gregster

in the latest drivers from amd there is an option to postion the windows taskbar so it can be set to the middle monitor.

Crezzlin tthey tested both cards but couldnt find a fault but have replaced them so have asked for two xfx black edition cards in place of them see if i have any better luck.
 
That's gd news about your cards Stanton, well that they will change them anyway :) it's not a proper test if they just stress the gpu's as Eyefinity has its own random faults i would think? Anyway my xfx cards have been gd running Eyefinity no random bugs yet. Unlike my 6990/6970 combo that was a little temperamental.. If yours is working I will get your monitor setup :)
 
Crezzlin, I have 2 6970s Xfired and 2 Hanns G 28s, I am looking to get a third and run a setup like yours; couple of questions.

What mount are you using for the portrait layout?
The bezel removed, did you paint the base metal?

Thanks
 
Personally I use 3x Dell U2311 and like you say, I would find it very difficult to go back to a single monitor. Not sure if I could get away with 30" as I feel 23 is more than enough now and take a good chunk of the desk up already! :D Anyhow, this is my setup just after I grabbed the XFX single arm stand... not sure if you could get one for 30"?



Not the best picture but you get the idea.
