Re: Merry HIS-mass: Win an HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo Eyefinity4

... I first saw Asus Vh236h's ad. She had a dark, almost mirror-like complexion ...

Um, look, I don't know how to break this to you, so I'll just come out and say it. Asus Vh236h was born male. Now, sure, she's very passable, and since this is the 21st century there's nothing wrong with it ...

Re: Merry HIS-mass: Win an HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo Eyefinity4

Q: What's your thoughts/ experience of Eyefinity (Multi-Display Gaming)?
Every so often you get one of those technologies that completely changes the landscape. Eyefinity is one of those.

The march of progress
Multimonitor setups aren't exactly new, of course; I know (perhaps we all know ...

Re: Eyefinity only duplicates displays

First of all, you should be OK with hardware. I have monitors which are the same resolution as yours, though a bit smaller (20.1"), and I ordered the Accell b087b-005b to handle the DisplayPort connection.

To get Eyefinity working with your monitors, you need to create a group. Open the ...

Re: World of Warcraft (WotLK Client)

I still have yet to get my third Eyefinity monitor working (it's the one that's hooked up to the DisplayPort jack, and I don't have the proper adapter).

However, even with two screens things get a little hard to manage. Specifically, the UI stretches everything out horizontally and that means ...

Re: I bought a 128GB SSD and 2TB HDD...which software goes where

I agree with X-Warrior: By the time my SSD bites the big one, there will be larger and faster ones for less money. It's not going to be handed down to my grandchildren.

For my own part, I have a 64 GB OCZ Agility, which was a good price for the time when I got it. My main application is World ...

Re: ErgoTech Triple LCD Desk Stand Christmas Giveaway

I ought to mention that this is a great stand. The WSGF review on YouTube pretty much convinced me, and Mounted Concepts is the place to order it from if you're getting one. The discount code, somewhere on the WSGF site, was a nice bonus.

This stand has the ability to position monitors at a ...

Re: Where to get DP-DVI Active Adaptors (& what to look for)

This seems to be the right place to ask, though some of the 2009 info seems a trifle stale.

Many people here seem to be setting up 3x1 landscape displays, and I'm no different. My card at the moment is an Asus EAH5850 Top; this has one each DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort. I have three monitors all ...

Re: Decreased performance with Crossfire and Eyefinity

I found the same thing. After experimenting a little with World of Warcraft (which is pretty much the only game I want to run a panoramic monitor with), I found that on a single monitor, I got from 34 to 90 fps with one card, and a stuttery 12-30 fps with CrossfireX.

Now, I always thought that ...
