Using a Asus 7970 DCII with 4x Displayport and 2x DVI i'd reccomend going with 2x DVI Nativ and 3x DP to DVI Adapters. Using the two DVI Nativ as the outside monitors so Tearing won't be that troublesome if it occurs (really wonder.... i'd say you wont have tearing! using same monitor..) |

First Thanks for the Info, But I was just on the ati website and it says no more than 2 active adapters at a time! Has anyone tried 3? |

Sure it said Active adpaters and not passive adapters? With passive Adapters you send a DVI signal trough a Displayport connection to a passive DVI Adapter! This way you need the internal converter to generate a DVI signal! Using a Active adapter means that the GPU will output a DP signal, to the Adapter, and this one will convert the DP to DVI. In this case you're only limited by Displayport, and Displayport is only limited by Bandwith, you can plug 4 FullHD Displays via adapters via one Displayport Port on the GPU. |

Nonetheless, nice setup.  5x1P is such a wonderful thing. PM me or get on IRC if you want to know how to run more games on it. I've got a method that'll let you run at any resolutions you want with proper scaling, no stretch.
