| Post subject: | Eyefinity , plus a fourth Extended on a 6950? |
Well I could have sworn I read that the 6xxx series can do a 3x Eyefinity plus an additional fourth display in Extended mode. I just hooked up my old 20" and CCC tells me it's not possible to extended with my current setup, which is 3x landscape. Using mini-DP to DP and f 2x DVI for Eyefintiy, and mini-DP to DVI for the fourth. Am I missing something? Has anyone had luck with this? I'd rather not have to get a cheesy card just to run this 4th display... The new monitor is using a DVI-D. Should I use a DVI-I? This makes me a sad panda. Win 7 x64, 6950 2gb, CCC 11.7. EF uses 3x 1920x1200 displays, the fourth is 1680x1050. |

It can do and it should do, however you can not use both DVIs and the HDMI at the same time (only 2 of the 3), the setup I'm using is both DPs and 1 DVI for my eyefinity monitor, and the HDMI for my TV. |

Hmm.. But the only HDMI display i have is my center monitor.. guess it's time to shop at Monoprice again. Perhaps I can get away with swapping a DVI and a Mini-DP. |

This does work. You just have to make sure the mini-dp to DVI adapter is an active adapter. I have this exact same setup and it did not work until I got an active mini-dp to dvi adapter. |

Hm i as afraid of that. I actually just got my HDMI to DVI cable in teh mail today. I'll give it a go and report back. Well, still a no-go. I guess I have to acquire an active adapter. Shit. |

This was a pretty standard headache when Eyefinity initially came out. The cards only have 2 legacy clocks for the ports. So, only two of the three legacy ports will work at once. Just requires another active dp adapter and it'll work though. |

if your monitor has displayport support you can get a mini-DP to DP connector instead. they are significantly cheaper than an active minidp to dvi connector. |
