Just bought the 5870 last week, looking to go triple screen gaming to mainly play WoW. I do have the Apple 30" Display, but that is not meant for triple screen gaming, besides adding 2 more 30", no thanks way out of my price range. I do have a 24" Samsung of 1920x1200res on my 2nd computer, how would adding two Dell 2007FP's of 1600x1200res match up on either side of the Samsung 24" ? Would be the same as 2 of these; http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-4687 and 1 of these http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6272 Would those three combined line up well across Eyefinity ? The dot pitch or pixel count would look uniform between the 24" and 20" ? Thank you |

They need to be all the same resolution for triple screen EyeFinity. Currently the only option for running non-identical displays is SoftTripleHead. |

They need to be all the same resolution for triple screen EyeFinity. Really ? I know they all have to be in Landscape mode or Portrait mode, no mix and match, but I thought different resolutions could be mixed together as long as the vertical height resolution is the same. For this all three would be 1200 height res, that still would not work ? |

Perhaps I misunderstood the details. You could ask one of those members who have a working EyeFinity setup... :) |

So any official word on whether AMD will allow a mix and match of Portrait and Landscape modes soon ? I just do not understand why they wouldn't allow the same vertical height across three displays to be allowed in the drivers ? 20" in Portrait + 30" in Landscape + 20" in Portrait, that would give total 4960x1600 resolution, and all three monitors would have the exact same height res. You would use two 1600x1200res 20" monitors but flipped upright in Portrait mode, and one 2560x1600res 30" monitor in Landscape. |

I'd better chase a definitive answer on my situation. I have a 24" 16:9 centre and 2 x 22" 16:10 sides. Is this simply not going to work with Eyefinity? I was hoping to run them at 1680x1050 even though that's not the native nres of the 24". It looks ok using SoftTH. Have I just wasted AU$196 on an active adapter? |

For now, SoftTH is the only option for this configuration. |

For now, SoftTH is the only option for this configuration. Oh dear. That's a shame. The limitations are turning out to be a disapointment after the initial excitement of thinking this was going to be a solution to the nuisance of using SoftTH. |

If you have at present only one 24" 1920x1200 display, just get another 2 x 24" (1920x1200), just make sure at least one has a DP port. 2 x 20" 1600x1200 will not look right, as it is or different pixel-pitch (0.27 vs 0.255), even if you can run them using SoftTH style. |
