Yes, that worked, thank you! It never even occurred to me to check the 16:9 aspect ratio resolutions.

Is it possible to play this in Eyefinity or Surround resolutions? I'm only seeing options for 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10 resolutions.

Are there any way to get Black Mesa to allow for Eyefinity resolutions? In the video settings, I don't see any options for anything other than 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10.

I got 14 months out of that exact adapter before it failed. Here in the US, they have a 3 month warranty.

Yeah, that's very similar to the $30 adapter I bought here in the States. About the only thing I can think of at this point is to uninstall the driver, re-arrange the monitors on the vid card ports, reinstall, and give it another shot.

I'm using Hanns-G 28's, and I also use (2) of the DVI ports ...

I had this similar issue with that little alignment application crashing once in a while when I used the Apple adapter for the third screen. I usually just uinstalled the driver, then reinstalled it, and attempted again. The bummer is that when it would crash, it would create some crazy resolution ...

I use MSI Afterburner.

I was thinking that the Eyefinity community was kind of giving up on those Active Adapters with USB power cables, as well as the DP -> VGA connectors, and simply heading for the cheap little adapter made specifically for this 60hz 3-DVI screen situation?

The dust in the wind comment pretty much sums up my frustrations. I'd really love to experience the smooth gameplay of a 3-screen Eyefinity system at 120hz. I guess my initial thoughts were; if AMD is advertising a 3D solution, then do we assume that it's (3) screens running at 120hz (out of the box ...

ah forget it.

If there's anyone around that's running three screen/eyefinity at 120hz, please let us know that it's working out of the box (or otherwise). I appreciate the folks stepping in to provide what they think "might" happen, but I'm really looking for someone that is actually doing it, maybe even post up ...

KeeperJones, I had the Apple adapter, so there was some strange Eyefinity activity. I finally dumped the 30 bucks on the Sapphire adapter, and virtually all strange activity disappeared. It worked great with (3) 28" Hanns-g/I-inc screens.

Okay, so we've established that the single-link Sapphire adapter won't cut it.

So, with the Apple Dual Link adapter and (3) DVI based 120hz LCD's, you can just plug it in and, walla, 120hz across three screens?

I should probably note - that new Sapphire adapter that's working so well is standard Displayport. You would need the additional adapter to bring that down to mini-displayport for the 5970.

I can't seem to find any definitive info on this.

It seems as though the new 6000 series cards support some kind of "3DHD" or something to that effect. So, does this also mean that we can now run Eyefinity with (3) 120hz LCD screens, at 120hz with the native driver right out of the box? And ...

I used the Apple adapter for the third Eyefinity screen, with some quirks, but it worked. I then switched up to that new Sapphire DP -> DVI adapter (made just for Eyefinity, released recently), and virtually all issues have disappeared, it seems to work perfectly, and it was only 30 bucks.

I do ...

So, how did you go about creating the monitor "group" for iRacing?

Thanks, suiken.

I had suggested that newer $30 Sapphire adapter to this gent, and then realized that it has a full size displayport on it. Would one of those adapters that comes with the card take care of the displayport/minidp situation with the Sapphire adapter, or would it require something else? Or perhaps he ...

Hey, guys, sorry to hijack this thread, but a buddy was asking what he would need to get just (3) DVI based screens to run with the Eyefinity 6 card. Because it comes with (6) mini-displayports, this seems to be a daunting task.
