Greetings to all
I have 3 Dell S2240l's (
http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-s2240l/pd), eyefinity enabled through an XFX R9 280x.
The connections are as follows:
1. DVI to VGA adapter
2. HDMI to VGA adapter ( By using a HDMI cable I was not able to get eyefinity)
3. MiniDP to VGA adapter (active)
Problem:
While searching for the monitors CCC recognizes one of the monitor's (DVI to VGA) as a CRT, hence reducing its resolution to 1600 X 900, whereas the monitors have a native resolution of 1920 X 1024. The resolutions of the others seem to be at 1280 X 1024.
By going to advanced display properties and changing individual resolutions of the monitors to 1280 X 1024 (highest available) I am able to get a group with a 3840 X 1024 resolution but cannot bezel compensate as doing so reverses the resolutions and brings one of the monitor's to 1600 X 900.
So my questions are :
1. How can I get the group to work in native resolutions, which is to say 5760 X 1024 ?
2. Should i change the first 2 adapters to HDMI based?
3. The graphics card has one more MiniDP port. Should I buy a 2nd adapter and run 2 MiniDP to VGA adapters with 1 HDMI ?
4. I thought the problem is more to do with hardware than software so I haven't tried the stickied custom resolution fix, should I do that ?
5. Pretty noobish question this, but does less resolution affect FOV ?
Thanks
