I have three ASUS 23" monitors, hooked up in an Eyefinity setup on an XFX Double D HD 7870.

Can/have you connected two monitors to the two DVI ports and the third one to the HDMI port?

MSI R7970 Lightning (4 MiniDP, 2 SL-DVI) [This is going to be choice for my rig.]
ASUS 7970 Direct CUII (4 DP, 2 SL-DVI)


There is a thread for those cards right here.


You can also use (mini)DP->VGA adapters as they are by nature, active adapters.


Be careful, where other ...

Unfortunately, the situations is not so good in crossfire: Tearing is back.

So crossfire + eyefinity is improved but still not what we expect.

Still the same as years ago. It's a bit sad. Nvidia's new models are a bit more suitable for beginning triple screeners at the moment I believe ...

I voted for the 100% first, but after viewing the images and learning that on smaller display's (such as 1280 x 720, will be used a lot in the future for phones etc) it will scale down accordingly, I believe the max-width option is better. Scaling isn't a real issue since text is vector-based.

Brilliantly written. You just put in words what I was feeling for the past few years (the whole growing-up thing etc).

Eehm, sorry if someone already asked this, but if anyone with a box copy of Diablo 3 has one or two keys that he/she doesn't use, would you mind sending me those? I still haven't decided wether I should buy the game or not.

Your key is much appreciated!

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I didn't say "reference", I said "referenced". Specifically, I have this HD7970-DC2-3GD5 card.

Excuse me, I didn't catch that. Well, if you have tearing, then it must be either;
1. Plugged in the monitors wrong;
2. Somehow drivers are wrong;
3. A defect ...

I upgraded to a 3 monitor setup this week, and bought the referenced Asus 7970 so I could avoid tearing. I've got all three monitors attached using displayport adapters, and I'm seeing constant tearing on my middle monitor in eyefinity. Always in the same place, about a quarter of the way up from ...

Hi Moose.

Congratulations on pursuing your dreams as you enter the next "student" phase of your life. I wish you all the best!
Thanks for those kind words. (:

I am in the process of completing my new PC build using the ASUS Radeon 7970 DC2T I received recently. I have been ...

Hm, quite odd indeed. Exquisite you found the problem though. What drivers did you use in the end, if I may ask?

Moose

Well, since you've fiddled a lot with it you might want to try and just use a clean install with every piece of hardware connected. Then use the R-drivers I recommended. Fiddling with drivers and such always leaves a trace. I suggest you do it if you have faith it will work.

Moose

No I didn't, sorry.

You might want to try these drivers: http://www.download3k.com/Install-AMD-Catalyst-Driver-for-AMD-Radeon-HD-7900.html
The 12.x are so far quite buggy with 7970's and x64 W7's

So, I've changed a few things in the original post and the title. The MSI R7970 Lightning has globally hit the market so I thought, why not make this a thread for that card as well. I believe quite a few people want the MSI over the Asus because of Mini-Displayports. Anyway, discuss whatever you ...

I can second that... :(

Anyway, good luck! Can you tell us what you will be studying?

I'll (hopefully) be studying Game Creation & Producing after the summer. I need to do assignments, hand in a CV, resumé, a motivational letter and ...

Hello fellow WSGF'ers,

okay, I'm not sure how to put this but I am probably going to sell my third monitor and trade in my 7970 for as 7950/7870. This means no more Eyefinity for me. The reason behind this is quite simple. I've got a new study coming up, which is sort of my life goal. I really ...

Something like -this- would be appropriate?
Yeah, those should be fine. I've got the Sapphire ones. I'll get back to you hopefully this afternoon, since the odds are high I will recieve my new PSU today.

Appreciate the help getting to the bottom of this, it's really unsurprising (although ...

However the reason myself (and most people on this forum) would buy this card is for the apparently tearing free eyefinity- with 3 monitors in extended desktop, all appears fine, however when running 5760x1080 or any amount of bezel correction I am seeing consistent tearing on one screen with Vsync ...

Well My MSI came in, and man is it a BIG ass card, I do not mean width I mean all over!!! its hugely longer then reference, taller as well.

Haha, I know that feeling. These cards really are monsters. I hope everthing works out for you, my PSU is due to come in on tuesday.
