I'm running F1 2010 in 3x1650x1080 (+bezel management) and it works increadibly smoothly.

Im running a i7 @ 4.0ghz, with 5850 CrossFire.

I can only assume its the 5970 CrossFire w/ Eyefinity bug that people have mentioned.

F1 2010 uses the same graphics engine as Dirt2 so what ever performance you get in Dirt2 should be very similar to what you will get in F1 2010

This adaptor works perfectly - just as advertised. Plugged in set up Eyefinity and i now even get bezel management (that i have not had for 12 months))

ATI if you read this...

This should have been availible from September 09 when the cards came out, they really need to be boxed in your ...

I already posted about this, last night, nice to see someone else found somewhere elase to buy, options are always good.

You can 'hook' the TV to the HDMI, but it will not work at the same time as two other devices connected to the DVI.

I believe you can enable profiles so that you can have your Eyefinity when you want to triple head game, and another profile when you want to game on the TV.

Otherwise the ...

I'll be waiting to get this on the 24th, looks like a laugh.

Just a shame that a UK company (Codemasters, Birmingham) releases the game world wide before it releases it in the UK - this is what causes people to pirate software!

anyway, really glad to hear that it works well on a 5870 in ...

If you want to avoid display port problems go with GTX 460 in SLI with 2GB or ram, its significantly quicker than a 5870 and you get to use 3xDVI monitors, its just that simple.

The 5870 (3port) still requires a Displayport connection, the card has 2xDVI,1x HDMI and 1x Displayport, you can use ...

Do we have any update on a UK sale date? contrary to popular belief we don't all live in the USA!

Passive

only thing it really can be. You must have read the posts on here reference to 'active' adaptors that require an external power.

again its passive!

It's a good job you went with the 5970 as your mother board does not support SLI, so this was really your only option.

This is why it was important to give all the details of you set up. most people were suggesting 2x460's (rightfully so, as its the fastest option) but its not compatible with ...

hey little update,i have broke it down to these cards,(the ATI 6 series might be too expensive) would be sufficient in playing my current games in hi res on 3 monitors,what do you think? What would run fine with my system specs,as i say i dont wanna rush in and buy,then have a bottleneck.

Hello,
please forgive my ignorance, but I was unable to locate an answer to my question.

I presently have 1 GTX 460 card. I am interested in surround gaming. Please clarify something for me. Is TH2G required to play a game in surround gaming (3 monitors?).

I'm trying to calculate the ...

Well lets hope they come to market and work aswell as Ibrim's article.

If i still have issues with my DP connected panel flickering and problems with the bezel management then i'm afraid it's time to put my hand in my pocket and go green team.

I have been looking for one of these for ages, but i cant find where to actaully buy one from, I live in the UK if anyone knows where to get this or the same by another manufacturer that would be great.

Thanks

I may be wrong, but i think i have read somethere that although you can do this, i belive that you can only have 1 eyefinity group on a system at any one time.

You should be able to have a Eyefinity group +3 extended monitors though.

I have a pair of 5850's in crossfire running 5040x1080 although they work OK, the scaling for crossfire + eyefinity is about 65% (have a look over Ibrim's benchmarks to confirm this).

On the other hand my bro has got 2x470's in SLI and the tripple head works great, no messing around with DP ...

Sorry forgot my old username, been a while since i was posting on these boards. so anyway......

I have 3 x Dell 2209WA monitors, all identical, i have 2 connected via DVI and 1 connected via a DP-VGA adaptor.

I had to spoof the EDID on the VGA connected monitor to get the resolutions to ...
