i was about to buy 4870 or 4850x2 when it comes out ><

great now i have to wait for an gtx270 or 290 :P

Hello,

I have my TH2GD since saturday. I just updated the firmware and installed the latest driver ... but I cannot reach the highest resolution (3x1680x1050).

Do anyone know if it is possible to get a ati 4870X2 playing together with the TH2GD on 3x1680x1050?

I am very sad ... because I bougth the TH2GD only because of the new resolutions.

lol maybe u shoulda have done some research and read this post before u bought it :P

no it doesn't support 4780 at the moment on 5040x1050 for ati cards :P

i'm using 8800gt oc and works great

others us sli 280 or 260 or even triple 280 or 260

I, like many others bought the 4870 because it was supposed to be the best of the best. I bought a digital th2go thinking that I would get even better results. Unfortunatly, I didn't find wsgf until after I had bought my present setup. Yes, some research would have saved me many heartaches but I have what I have and hopefully a way will be found. I have three I-INC 28" (27.5 actual) monitors and am very pleased with them. My mobo is intended for ATI crossfire but I think that it will run an Nvidia card as long as I don't try to do sli. Should I make the switch to get the higher res? I am not a fanboy of either Nvid or ATI. I run a quad core AMD (I try to support the underdog if I can). Don't give up on ATI, maybe we can all band together and get ATI (AMD) to find a solution.

Thanks for the laughter ... :cry:
You are right. Some more reseach would have saved me. :wink:

But as PapaLes wrote, lets band together to get ATI a solution.

to PapaLes:

Did you find a way to use 3x1440x900?
I wrote a support mail and thats what Matrox answered:

[i][quote]Hi Andy,



The ATI cards do not support 3x1680x1050.

You should be able to run the 1440x900 dough, but make sure that the “hide modes this monitor cannot supportâ€
