you need a TH2G or an ATI AMD 5000 series card,


i am in the same boat.

but i couldnt do it in Windows 7, until i got either TH2G or an ATI 5000 series card (i bought HD5770)

if you span horizontally side by side, left and right, you can do this with TH2G and AMD DX11 card. (yes u ...

you going to have to get softTH involved... unless you want to run the game in windowed mode which eats up performance..

thanks...

what games do you usually play?

im so glad i was able to beat mw2 when i had the th2g+8800GTS..

im going to try to go back and see if the HD5770 can push the 5040x1050 via TH2G on windows 7 RTM

none the less, the tech's response was lame,

his actual words were...

"Matrox products are not supported. Use the final none beta OS if you want Eyefinity to work correctly."

i was tech support, and i know an onset of a shrug off..

he could have made it a little cleared than that ...

im trying to push one th2g with three monitors.... via HD5770

it failed at first because i was running windows 7 RC evaulation..

im going to retest using the retail RTM version of windows 7...

OK

I am back.
i did the windows RC to RTM update.

now my windows is Windows 7 version 6.1.7600 build 7600

NOW THIS EYEFINITY THING IS WORKING GREAT!

next im going to go back to try the matrox th2g box, to see if i can get 5040x1050...

BUT I ACHIEVE WHAT I WANTED WHICH WAS ...

ok, im going to give it a shot with a non RC build... will be back


JUST THINK, IF WINDOWS 7 had the proper spanning modes allowed in the WDDM achetiecture.. i wouldnt be wasting my time here....

no its not a fresh install...

ill try to run that Guru3D - Driver Sweeper a try...

just tried it with drivers that were on the CD, version 8.66RC

it is also a NO GO.


WTF again.
i bought this for Eye-finity, and it dosent work...

i mean come on..is it the monitors?

im like so going back to my nvidia w TH2G...

i would enable a 2x1 display group, close and then go into windows properties, i get this error, when i try to apply 1680x2100

WTF..

isnt working for me....
i tried to go in a couple times, same story...even try to apply and reboot.

NVIDIA nVIEW on XP PWNs= UbEr L33T

if i can get your exact steps, i would appreciate it..

i got a LAME friggin reply from an Ati admin in the Ati AMD forum saying that Eye-finity isnt properly supported on the WINDOWS 7 RC evaluation...

but googling showed me that there are links to make your eval to retail...

anyways,
can you tell me the steps that you did to get your eye ...

i finally got my ATi HD5770

SO FAR I DO NOT LIKE IT IN TERMS of multi monitor support

i am using the newly release 9.11 driver
on windows 7 RC eval x64 on a machine with 8gig ram and c2d E8500

1) i have 3x Acer x203w
some how i recently was able to get 5040x1050 rez on a TH2g box ...

acutally, the 2x 20" would be stacked vertically, one monitor on top, and one on bottom..

in windows xp, i was getting a resolution of 1680x2100... with was the best simulation monitor setup that worked for me..

(FOV was not high.. 0.8, instead of 4.6 for tiplehead)

because in lockon ...

bump...

i guess there was a nother stickied topic about my same issue...

i guess i will find out when i get my card...

always something...

man, only if windows 7 can span monitors PROPERLY.

dam it..

hello.

i just ordered a HD5770 to come in.
im trying to configure a setup involving 2x 20"LCDs and 2x 7" LCDs
i just found out that my Triplehead2go Digital Edition, will not detect my 7" VGA LCD's.

i was hoping to have 1x 20" LCD via DVi connector,
1x 20" LCD via displayport, and my ...

thank you for the explanation..

i really hope this will be the answer to the windows 7 desktop taskbar problem.

now i have something to play with..although i have to get a displayport monitor...

ok, i just ordered a HD5770.

i am disappointed with the fact that the windows architechture in vista and windows 7 does not allow horizontal and vertical span feature like in windows XP.

GETTING TO THE POINT..

can I use Eye-finity to span the desktop properly?

for games like FSX ...

any one able to get triplehead2go working on a HD5800 series ATi AMD video Card?
