Which drivers do you find most stable when running in eyefinity? I'm using 12.5 previews and they are pants

Great when running single screen but about as stable as a packet of mentos swimming in a sea of coca-cola using all three. I get screen tearing, display port errors, screens going fuzzy, artifacts and if i get the "your display driver has stopped working" message one more time I'm gonna..... well erm... not a lot really... just spent a fortune on this set up....

But I want a stable gaming environment - Is that too much to ask

Well that is the boat that I am in right now. It is however great when it all works together. Part of me wishes I had gone for the 30" Ultrasharp instead.... but then I look at my three screens

I've been using latest stable drivers with 5850 crossfire and now a single 7950. Running 3x dell ultrasharp u2311 monitors in eyefinity at 6056x1080 with no issues. How warm are your GPUs getting? Sounds like they are overheating?

Gpu's are under water so no heating issues. I think I maybe need to try and wipe and reinstall the drivers. Maybe that will help. It's odd because I have turned it on this morning and I have no tearing, flickering or any other visible issue but last night I was getting terrible tearing and flickering on the middle (DVI) monitor. Which is odd because it is usually the left (MDP) one that tears and flickers. Odd to describe really - it's like the background flickers through the window in the forground. Can't screenie becuase they come out clear

I might swap back to 12.4's for now as well. Thanks for all of your input

If I have tearing it usually is on the left Dp monitor. But as of yesterday it can happen on the center dvi connected monitor as well.

I've seen the issues you describe when pushing for high overclocks. It would be a good troubleshooting step to run your cards at stock settings to see if the problem still occurs.QUOTE]

It also happens at stock

I will figure this out!!!

mm same here, think I am goona get an active dvi mini dp adaptor and see if this much vaunted cure is all its cracked up to be!

I two startech active adapters already at £75 each

I have noticed something though. The tearing issue isn't happening in game. It's only happening while I am looking at the dektop. For example I have steam maximised across my desktop and this (IE) is windowed in the center monitor and I am getting flickers on the left monitor.

Any one know why activating VSYNC in either 120hz or 60hz cauzes one monitor to run at a low fps (DP) and sometimes go blurry? Dissabling it makes it all better

And the start menu flickers like mad.

Any way I am done with it today. I want to actually play some games if I can!!

I had this with the same monitors, adapters and 1x 7950.

I think it was when I tried the 12.4/5 preview drivers. So I rolled back to 12.3.

I'm now on 12.4 WHQL ones and haven't had the tearing/flickering problem since.

It's odd because it goes away and comes back as it please. Treats my computer like a flaming hotel!!!

I am back on 12.4 officials now but still have the problem. Not in game though which is just odd...
