Triple monitors, different res and refresh rates?

MartynB85 · 6 Jan 2014 at 21:35

I have a BenQ XL2411T 144hz monitor that I use for gaming. I also have another 2 LG 1280 x 1024 60hz monitors that I'd like to use in surround.

Can I run them all at their native refresh rates? I'm sure they will work at the desktop but will they work in games? I have a feeling that they will all run at 60hz.

Cheers

I had a play with 2 screens lastnight. All i can say is Eyefinity is pants (i only have a single 7950 at the moment) . It does not give you the ability to run screens at different resolutions, i'm going to try a softTH later if i get the time.

Both Eyefinity and Nvidia surround have the same "issue". You need the same resolution and refresh rate.

Nvidia surround wouldn't work at all (maybe possible with some EDID editting)
AMD eyefinity will allow you to run all 3 at the lowest common res/hz

Yeah it's a shame really, would have been nice to had 2 smaller screens either side of my main monitor. I think I'll stick one above my main one for normal use and game on the single monitor.

Another thing I found was that when driving all three monitors, windows would only let me run the benq at 60hz, it would only run 144hz with 2 or less. Any idea if that is a limit set by my 7950?
