I just built from scratch a new computer with a HD 7970 Graphics Card. on a 3 monitor setup

I have installed the latest drivers and adjusted the resolution to what each of the monitors support.

1920 x 1080

but I have a big black 1 inch thick border around the screen(s)

its like its reduced the size of the desktop by 20% :confused:

If I plug the monitors in to the onboard intel graphics they display fine :eek:.

I can not find any problems in the monitor setup options and all looks ok in the ATI Control Panel.

Also do I need a active adapter to run Eyefinity from this card?

Connections are
Screen 1 HDMI
Screen 2 HDMI - DVI
Screen 3 HDMI - DVi


Many thanks :)
 
thanks for the reply. slightly confused though.

Ok so my monitors have
2 x HDMI Ports
1 x Old VGA Port

My Graphics Has 2x DVI 1XHDMI & 1 Display Port.

Nothing has any Mini Display Ports

Cables I have.

2 x HDMI - HDMI
3 x HDMI - DVI


so what is the best option for me?

Thanks
