In order to use Eyefinity you MUST use at least one displayport connection on the card. If your monitors don't have a displayport connection, you'll need to purchase an active displayport adapter. *Edit: Gross, that card does not have a displayport on it. In that case, I'm inclined to believe that t... |

It depends on what you want to play. If you want the most immersive experience possible, the Rift is the way to go. However, it only truly shines on games which were designed with virtual reality in mind. It's really not very good for traditional games designed to be seen on a flat screen. There are... |

General consensus on the big hardware sites like HardOCP, Anandtech, and TomsHardware seems to be that a core i5 is the best price/performance ratio for gaming. I believe some of the more in depth benchmarks have demonstrated that you really have to be pushing 3 or 4 GPUs to take advantage of the pe... |

Just got done with my first match since retail release. It looks like Titanfall still has the same issues on release as the beta: no HUD in multi-monitor resolutions and terrible Crossfire artifacting. Disappointing, but not unexpected. Hopefully AMD will release a working Crossfire profile and Resp... |

Christ, man. I loved some Shogo back in the day and I haven't played it in years. Are there any digital distribution services that are slinging it? I seriously doubt I can dig up my original discs. Speaking of which, I am seriously digging Titanfall and one of the big reasons is that it's the closes... |

There are some editable configs with some possibly promising parameters in two sub folders at \Documents\Respawn\TitanfallBeta but I haven't had the chance to fiddle yet.
*Edit: Yeah, I don't know if these config files will do anything. Can't get in game at the moment to check. Servers down. |

Just got my corrected PC beta key and downloaded. Only tried the first couple tutorials so far. It's definitely got issues with Crossfire too. Lots of artifacting and flickering going on. Not looking too good for us, yet, but I guess Respawn has got some time left to fix things before release. Given... |

Go to Settings->Configuration. Uncheck the option to Check for Updates. *Edit: The old Flawless Widescreen linked above appeared to work and did not auto-update on me. It detected Borderlands running, but the fix still didn't get applied. I tried manually enabling/disabling it while running Borderla... |

If I remember correctly, even the old fix would do you no good. Borderlands 1 performs a regular check to see if you're injecting any code and will crash if you are. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason that no further development has been done on a triple-wide fix, but could be wrong. |

I'm stuck in the crowd who received Xbox One beta keys in place of PC keys and am hoping for EA to swap it out for me. In the meantime, I've heard reports that most of the HUD, including the minimap, is completely missing in Eyefinity. The PC Gamer screenshots are mostly HUD-less. I'd assumed they t... |

Per this PC gamer article , Titanfall appears to have some support for multiple monitors. Better than I expected, anyway! The interior of the Titans is rendered. Only one screenshot shows any HUD, and it does unfortunately appear to be on the far left and right screens. Post your own impressions if ... |

Technically Eyefinity itself doesn't slow down your game, I guess, because it's just a name for the technology that allows AMD drivers/cards to treat multiple monitors as if they were a single large monitor - like Haldi says. But, whether you have a single large monitor or a bunch of monitors hooked... |

Yeah, the only thing I really got from all this testing is that it's easy to visually identify large variances in frame times once you know what to look for. All those configurations struggled with frame times to one degree or another at the exact same time during the Tomb Raider benchmark, despite ... |

Very, very interesting...when I put my second card in an adjacent PCI-E slot running the same speed as the first card, I lose my Crossfire and Frame Pacing settings altogether from CCC. It still shows the second card under the Hardware tab, but none of it's details such as the Core or Memory Clocks ... |

I'll continue testing and report back (and try to get those graphs cleaned up a little more.) So far my initial results are not encouraging. I'm wondering if it could just be because I'm running an old X58 chipset and old core i7 that AMD probably wouldn't have tested on themselves or if it has some... |

I'm attempting some more formal benchmarking today to see if there's any real difference in 14.1 Eyefinity+Crossfire with frame pacing enabled. Does anybody have a good method for doing so? Right now I'm using MSI Afterburner to export frame times to a file while running in game benchmarks and then ... |

How can you link the two sides when adjusting bezel compensation? It's a huge pet peeve of mine having to adjust them separately and having to try several times before I get it right. |
