I just read about this product (link:http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/3677/startech_convergeav_triple_head_displayport_to_dvi_multi_monitor_adapter/index2.html) where a single DP outputs to 3 DVI (max 1280x1024). So, I wonder if an Eyefinity 6 card, with its 6 mini DPs, can use 6 of these to output ...

Good review!

For the setup, a reference 6870 was connected to 3 x Dell U2211H (which has a DVI, a DP and a VGA input)
May I ask which 3 outputs of the 6870 were used to connect to the U2211H (and what inputs were used respectively)?

Thank you.

Q1: What exactly are those ''intermediate resolutions'' mentioned in the FAQ?
Say, if the 3 monitors have 1920x1080 as native, what other resolutions can be used for a 3x1 Eyefinity Group? It is plural and so it is more than one.

Q2:
2 ''identical'' system...one with DTH2G and one with ...

Thanks to Ergonpandilus , Delphium and suiken_2mieu for quick response!

With your positive feedbacks, I have more confidence to investigate Eyefinity further. Let me provide more hardware info so that you might examine my plan better.
I have three 24'' 16:9 monitors (with VGA and HDMI inputs ...

1. One requirement of Eyefinity is that one of the 3 monitors has to have a DP input. Can this requirement be bypassed by using an Active DP adapter (eg using such an adapter to connect the DP output of the card to HDMI/VGA input of a monitor) ?

From the ATI Eyefinity FAQ, I gather the answer ...

In addition to possible engine limitation as mentioned above, I throw in 2 more wild thoughts for you to investigate.
One is the possibility that at 1680 x 1050 (a relatively 'low' resolution for the GTX295), your CPU becomes the bottleneck?
Two is that the GTX295 might not be set up properly ...

1 side note: Stock hsf is good enough if you wont overclock. But since you said you will do some mild overclocking, I suggest you to get a mid range 3rd party hsf (eg Cooler Master N520/620). For serious overclocking, Thermalrigt 120 Extreme or CM V8 is a must.

Have you checked the CD that came with your Samsung monitor? It may contain some useful utility for your to adjust the resolution? It has been ages since I dealt with a Samsung monitor but Samsung seems to have something called Safe Mode for downscaling a 4:3 1600x1200 video signal to match the ...

Of the 3 cards in your list, only the GTX295 is a worthy upgrade. Two 8800GTXs beat a single 9800GTX+ easily and are more or less on par with a single GTX285, but are no match with a single GTX295. So, if you want to upgrade now, go with the GTX295. Actually a single GTX295 might be the highest that ...

Here's the first pass:

Gonna add a few more, then drop in the GTX 295 I have sitting here.

Are you running a single GTX 295 ?
If you have another graphic card (8xxx series or ...

Quick question, I seem to be randomly picking up tasks and then they cancel themselves automatically, or complete seemingly without my doing anything; is this happening to anyone else?

Often a certain base is under attack and you will receive a message asking you to help them. If somehow ...

HAF932 and Antec 1200 are both good cases. You wont go wrong with either one. Another one worthy of consideration is Cooler Master's ATCS 840.

I am probably the least qualified one to offer help in setting mod for ClearSky as I have only installed one (actually that is a patch which comes in the form of a mod).

I think you need to change the "false" to "true" in this line in your orginal LTX file (and then save it, of course ...

TH2G ... extra peripheral view thus more immersion.
42" ... no extra peripheral view thus no more immersion.

I think it depends on how one defines what immersion is.

I think, having a larger screen size does increase the immersion factor of gaming because there is a larger image area ...

Frag Maniac:
I am hearing a lot about this "bandit taking all your money and gear" thing. How many times do this thing happen? And exactly when and where will it happen? Do you remember?

IMO, if you are not doing SLI (now or in the near future), maybe it is better to ditch the 790i Ultra SLI board and get an upper end P45 motherboard (eg Asus P5Q Deluxe for DDR2 or Asus P5Q3 Deluxe if you really like DDR3) which roughly costs half of the Striker II Extreme.

I guess I will continue on with 1.5.04 and see how far I can go. If I cant make it, I will stop playing this game and maybe wait out for a few months before patching up to whatever the latest patch at that time and start all over.

I am not using any mods. My general philosophy is: installing a ...

Let me make an off-topic comment first.

TH2Go does not necessarily go against large screen HDTV. "vs" is not the only option. The two can go along well with each other. In other words, you can have the best of both worlds if you use three large screen HDTVs with a TH2Go device. :D

As to ...

Yes, it is possible.

I have 3 x 46" HDTVs TH2Go setup and let me first comment on the negative image quality due to upscaling. I find that this impact is surprisingly not that bad at all. But rather, the fact that a less than 1920 x 1200/1080 image (eg 1360 x 768 is what I am using right now ...

I just got out of Swamps and into Cordon and so I am still early in the game. I encountered a little bug with the PDA (unable to scroll the side quests in a table format) and so I naively (without first checking with the Official Forum) installed the patch 1.5.04 (from 1.5.01) and instantly all ...
