Purchased this from newegg.com: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999032 Install and now running for 48 hours.. no issues. Everything is clear. No flickering. No monitor that may or may not come up from sleep. This replaced the dongle I bought from overseas which was a displayport to VGA. Best $30 bucks spent and it only took ATI months to come out with a solution :P Go Buy It! |

Strange, looks remarkably similar to this one that we were discussing about 6 threads down the list. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999030 |

As is this one from HIS, but more expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999031 this one from HIS is "open box" and thus cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999031R |

The PowerColor Adapter is technically better than Sapphire's, because PowerColor's can go up to billions of colors (32-bits), where as Sapphire's only goes up to millions of colors (24-bits at 8-bits per component). But that doesn't really matter, because what's mainly used is 24-bits. So either one is fine. |

The PowerColor Adapter is technically better than Sapphire's, because PowerColor's can go up to billions of colors (32-bits), where as Sapphire's only goes up to millions of colors (24-bits at 8-bits per component). Both the 24-bit and the 32-bit have the same amount of colors in this context. They are both 8-bit per RGB and don't have bandwidth for more on a 1080P image. :) For higher color depth, specs indicates dual-link DVI/HDMI or DP. Only those have bandwidth enough. I also don't think either of them produces DP adapters, so chances are that both are an Acell adapter or similar created within the specs of Eyefinity and slapped a sticker on by Sapphire, HIS and Powercolor. In any case, reports indicates that those Eyefinity adapters were just what the doctor ordered! :cheers |
