Will this work, I'm trying it tonight and would like to brace myself in case it wont.5870 GPU for eyefinity.
Monitors are a Dell 2709w (displayport input 1920x1200) Hanns-G 28" (DVI to HDMI 1920x1200) and a Dell 3007 (Dual DVI 2560x1600 but I can drop to 1920x1200 if they all need to be the same res)
 
I realise they wont line up, but the hanns-G is going to be replaced with another 2709w, I hope it looks passable, I cant bear to give up my 30"
 
buy 2 more 30" lol like thats ever gonna happen, I only have this one cos i got it for £500, besides I'd need the 6000 series before it could handle that eyefinity res in a a single GPU and even then it would probably need a 6990
 
OT but I'm sure someone on a forum somewhere has a wide center and two 4:3 on the sides, when the DP to VGA craze started
 
For anyone interested it does work, 2709w on DP, Hanns G 28" and 3007 30" Via DVI. displaygroup set up as 5760x1200, lineup isnt perfect but its close enough for me to know it would be worthwhile having 3x27" displays and it adds to immersion. Played L4D2,CODMW22,DIRT2 and GTAIV. Framer rates are down from my previous setup of GTX280SLI but thats to be expected, once crossfire eyefinity is ubiquitous I'll head in that direction. Hope this helps someone with different sized displays that wants to put their toe in the water of Eyefinity
