ask them why i have to rely on 3rd party support for 21-9 monitors and why something cant be done in CC automatically to fix this issue once and for all

instant detection..instantly fixed..correct AR

I'd be curious to know if we can do really oddball combinations, like 3x1 landscape with 1 extra center monitor above as a single large surface.

Is there a chance they wil support custom width resolutions in the future. Like 4000*1080 or something. When just using half of the side monitors.

Haven't had the chance to fiddle with 14.6 too much yet but did get it installed. So far it gets a thumbs down for no longer letting me use Windows Key + P to change between Eyefinity and Extended modes. The dialogue still comes up in Windows, but selecting Computer Only, Duplicate, or Extended has no effect. Just leaves me in Eyefinity, regardless.

A cursory glance does indicate that they've changed how Eyefinity profiles are stored/saved. If they've made swapping between them reliable from within the CCC or via a CCC keyboard shortcut, that'll be fine...but I haven't had the chance to find out yet.

The Eyefinity dialogues do state that you must use a 1xN or Nx1 layout when mixing resolutions, so no really weird layouts are going to be possible.

Please report back soon.

I'm hoping to jump ship back to AMD for this feature to utilize my 1080p 1600p 1080p configuration!

One big issue is the win+P is a no go at all.

Just want to let everyone know what I am running. I have 2 Dell Dp monitors at 1680x1050 as my outside monitors. Then my U2711 at 2560x1440 as my center. I am running the expand mode where I line up the top of all 3 monitors and let the bottom of the two outside monitors lose the bottom 390 of my res. This way my center screen is 2560x1440 and the outside is for peripheral vision.

I like this better than losing all my center monitor res by going the old way and filling. My U2711 would be 1680x1050 res and I did not want the main center part of my vision to lose that 850 res width and then the 390 height res. I am NOT using ANY bezel mgt by the way. It screwed it up worse.

If you use the side monitors for what they should be which is just peripheral vision it works pretty good. They don't line up great because of the different aspect ratio's 16x9 and 16x10 and of course the U2711 has way more pixels per inch. But use it just to spot people in a fps and it is great. I tried with the expand at the top and hated it. When you open diff websites or applications the top would be in the expansion part and it was a pain to get to them. Use the bottom.

Also for a side note. I also have a 1920x1200 24inch as a forth extended monitor in PORTRAIT mode right next to my eyefinity in landscape and it works perfect. So a fourth monitor extended is no problem on mine. I am running a final res of 5920x1440 of course. 3570k at 4.5 with two 7950 Sapphire boost flex cards.

I like it so far after I got used to the new setup and got it up and running.

Good luck all.

You talking about support in games? That is up to the developer of the game.

Had a 45 minute chat. Got a few of these questions covered. Didn't see them all. Sorry. Exporting for a podcast now that will mix Skype audio and slides from the press deck.

Seems to work otherwise but I can't adjust bezel compensation in portrait mode. Haven't tried landscape yet. Every time I try, displays blink a bit, then it says "Warning: your display configuration has changed. Ensure that your displays are connected and functioning properly."

That's great! I had some huge Problems with a 4th extended monitor in portrait on older drivers.

so, got the 14.6 beta installed and it seems to have a bug in which my resolution is fine but all apps opened are stretched

so my desktop BG and my taskbar all are unstretched but if i open notepad or chrome its all zoomed in, also my cursor is zoomed in, anyone know why?

Haven't tried 14.6 yet, but I've yet to hear this. Have you rebooted? Are you resizing the app to just one screen?

I have been using 14.6 for the last two nights and I have not had these issues.

That is weird as I have been running a portrait extended monitor for about 2 yrs. now.

I wonder if Hydravision still works. The download is gone off AMD's site where I usually get it. Just want to make sure I do not screw up my install.

Skip do you think you could reach out to your contact and see if Hydravison still works? I have 13.12 version which is the newest one.

thats a pic of what happens, and yes i have rebooted that was an upgrade from 14.4 so im going to try once more with there driver cleaner first



all sorts of awkward trying to use that

I also installed 14.6 but i cannot find the different modes. It puts my eyefinity configuration automatically in "fill" mode, which I obviously don't want.
I am using HD6970 in CFX in combination with Dell2709w and 2x EIZO S2100's at the side.

Simple question, where do I find the button or menu to change type of eyefinity filling?

I already tried a clean install of the drivers, to no avail.

I will ask.


Your web browser screen looks fine. It just looks to be filling a middle monitor. 21:9 maybe? Why don't you manually resize the screen? What monitors are you using?



What res are your monitors?

The Dell is at 1920x1200, the Eizo's at the side are at 1600x1200.
Eyefinity let me only do 4800x1200 (which makes the Dell run at 1600x1200).

You sure made a clean install with Safemode DisplayDriverUninstaller ?

its kinda hard to see in a screenshot but the browser is actually running at 1366 x 768 while my desktop is running at 1920x1080(x3) so its zoomed in and blurry in comparison

and before you ask yes everything is still 1080px3 for all settings its just rendering some things lower res
see the problem?

Hey, I installed this a few days ago and don't have the Mixed Res option. I tried this DDU in Safe mode as you suggested and after reboot, some display drivers auto installed and not sure if that screwed things up, but then I reinstalled this beta and STILL don't have the Mixed Res option. Any other help?

thanks.

Yes, just like Omega posted above, dit a "super" clean install.

Hey I am new here,
and i have two 1024x768 and one 1920x1080 displays. The mixed resolution options is not even displayed to me, I tried under Win7 64bit and then with a clean windows pro 8 64 bit install.
Both configurations lead into the same result. However Windows 8 installed automatically an old AMD Catalyst driver, probably 13.9. after that I did an normal uninstall and installed 14.6.

It would be nice to figure this out, see if there's something I can do to get those options to show up. I even submitted a ticket to AMD but since it's a Beta they probably won't answer. And it would be really cool if they could make it work with 2 different video cards. I mean, softTH figured it out, why can't they? Wish I could get softTH working on the games I want but I would have to reinstall XP as a dual boot cause it worked fine there. Who knows, maybe I will anyway.

After much frustration and tinkering i managed to fix (well for the moment its working) the use of my 3 dell ultrasharp u2414h monitors in daisy chain mode with dp cables, i managed to download the new 14.6 catalyst. how i dont know after the monitors randomly going to sleep and not coming back on without some patience and constant switching on and off, anyway it seems to be working now however i can only stay on for eyefinity mode, spanning all 3 monitors and im unable to use the win+p command to switch between duplicate and extend. are there any suggestions or fixes that i can follow ? i noticed all the previous posts but somthing might of happened by now.

I finally had to buy an R7 card to get it working, but when I set up Eyefinity, it changes the height resolution so my third monitor doesn't line up correctly. I have written to AMD asking for help.
