| Post subject: | Eyefinity Screen Tear Even After 12.6 Update |
Hi everyone, I'm new here and have joined because I wondered if any of you guys could help me with an issue that I am suffering. Basically I am still getting the Eyefinity screen tear which occurs when using multiple different output, even after updating to 12.6 CCC which is supposed to fix the issue. (Also tried 12.7 BETA) I have three monitors, all plugged in to one 6950. All DVI with one of the DVI cables connected to a min display port adapter. Is there any advice you could give me to help get rid of this issue? Or if you could share any similar issues you have had and managed to resolve, that would be great. Thanks! Harv |

I have 12.6 installed, and when I use SL-DVI and 2 DP, I get tearing. Oddly even more, If I use a monitor with native DP, and 4 other using active DP->DL-DVI adapters, I get massive tearing on two or three of the monitors depending on which monitor I make my primary monitor. I'm using a 5870. I wonder if the fix was for 7000 series only. |

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, may well be that was only a 7series fix, massive fail from ATI in my opinion. Considering replacing my 6950 with an nvidia card and going with their version of eyefinity. Do you know if whether these problems exist with nvidia cards? Ta |

I run an Nvidia Surround system and did not have any screen tearing, both on my older 2xGTX560 setup or my current GTX670. |

i ran an eyefinity system when it first came out. After months of vsync and tearing issues, i gave up and went to nvidia and all has been good since. |

Then nvidia is where I shall go! Can't be bothered with ATI and their rubbishness. Yea I'll be looking to buy the Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card. Opinions? Looks top notch! |

I can't confirm this since tearing during gameplay is easy to miss in some places, and dead obvious in others, but I've noticed flicking vsync on and off in a couple of games seems to give me a temporary reprieve. Don't hold me to this - it could be all in my head. Out of interest, does the tear move progressively downwards for you, or is it always in the same place? |

Then nvidia is where I shall go! Can't be bothered with ATI and their rubbishness. This is the exact card I have and I love it. Factory overclocked, quiet, runs like a dream. I think it benchmarked within 2% of the non-overclocked GTX680. |

Nox: I have tearing on my display port screen, both DVI screens are fine. The tearing is a line which tends to stay in the same area. It is permanent and can be easily found by dragging a window from left/right or up/down. Are you running an Nvidia or ATI setup? Timmeh: Sounds awesome! I will either get it ASAP or I may decide to wait for the 700series releases |

Sorry, forgot to mention it's an ATI 5870 (12.7 beta drivers). Oddly enough the tearing for me is on my center DVI monitor, where the left one is DP->DVI (using an active adapter that was bloody expensive at the time). The tearing seems to progress slowly down the screen for me, kinda like back in the day of CRT TV's and messed up tapes. Really annoying. Also, it's only in game for me - desktop is fine. Perhaps we're experiencing two different issues. Maybe your adapter is at fault...is it an active adapter? I remember when eyefinity first came out people with passive/cheap adapters were having that kind of trouble (something to do with needing a separate clock signal which needed it's own power to generate - I forget the details). Is it always the monitor plugged into the adapter? Guess I ought to post over on the AMD forums about my issue anyway, though I've not had much luck with them in the past. I'll post back here if anything helpful comes to light. Don't know if this is even relevant, but I'll add it anyway. When I tried with various drivers to change the clocks on my card, I'd get tearing and flickering on my left and right monitors (one straight DVI, the other on the adapter). It's probably not anything like this, but you're not running any OC on it are you? |
