Post subject:  4:3 and 16:10 in Eyefinity

I have 3 monitors:

19" 4:3 ________________ 22" 16:10 ______________ 19" 4:3
1280:1024 ____________ 1680x1050 ____________ 1280x1024


My "problem" is that in eyefinity mode the center monitor defaults to 1280 by 1024 and distorts my games. It's not too much of a bother, but I would like to try to fix it if possible, but I haven't been able to figure out how. It actually seems like it's outputting to the monitor at a native 1680x1050 and scaling the image.

Anyone have a solution?

That's how Eyefinity works. You cannot mix screen resolutions. So, Eyefinity will default to the lowest common denominator. Have you tried forcing 1280x1024 on the 22" screen prior to setting up Eyefinity?

Ya I figured that was the case. I haven't tried that yet. I imagine that it would still be distorted as that resolution is a 4:3 aspect ratio and it would stretch it onto the 16:9 display.

^thats exactly what will happen. but it will work.
i tried it with 2x 4:3 dell 1907s and a ou65k (22" wide) just for laughs.
i couldnt deal with the stretched out screen, bothered the hell out of me.

but when a game didnt work with eyefinity it was nice to go back to a single 22" wide. i replaced it with a third 1907 and now i get so mad when something doesnt work in 3x1.. cause 1x 19" 4:3 is soooo crap :(
