So I was wondering what setup I should build when I can get the money and I came up with the Following:

24" 24" 24" (Used in Eyefinity)[3x1920x1200]
------------- (My Stand)
19" 19" 19" (Done With TH2Go) [3x1440x900]
[This is a Flight simulator setup with dash controls on the bottom screens and the flight shown on the top screens]


I was wondering if it was possible to fun the Triplehead2go off of the 5870 cards. Is it? I haven't seen anyone try yet. Because I'm thinking of selling my 4870 1GB when the 6 port card comes out. Also I know I'm going to need an active adapter for the TH2Go.

It should work fine, the 5870 can run 2 independant display set ups according to the website. It will see the TH2Go as a single screen just like your current card. Obviously this is just theory, but there is no reason for it not to work.

well if someone would like to test it, it would be great.

I dont know if the 5800 drivers support triplehead resolutions, and they may never support, according to the admin of ATI forums, this is a matrox problem, not ATI`s.

But remember the problem res is 5040, NVidia has snags (in Vista and Win7, anyway) as well. However you will be using your TH2Go monitors at a lower res, so you will be fine.

Are you sure all other wide thg resolutions will run fine with the new 5800 drivers ?

Umm no, good point. But certainly easy to test for someone. You gotta hope they don't get rid of stuff that worked before...like NVidia did in Vista :cry:

EDIT: I am too much of an optimist LOL
