Eyefinity and TV?

[Gimpylung]

I've recently set up eyefinity via the cheap displayport to vga adapter configuration(DVI, DVI, DP>>VGA)

Can I now also hook up a TV to the HDMI port and switch between the 2 configurations via the CCC. Just for clarity, I don't intend to have all 4 screens displaying at the same time, it'll be TV or eyefinity.

I have a bog standard 5770.

Assuming your profiles and hotkeys save correctly, you should be able to do that with the flick of a button. Assuming they don't, you might have to go in to CCC to swap settings every time you want to switch, but it should still work so long as you don't want them displayed at the same time.

Hi, I have a similar question to this gentleman's, however, I was wondering if it is possible to have all 4 displayed at once?

My current config is 3 22" LCD mons in EyeFinity (DVI, DVI, DP), and a HDTV above them via HDMI. I'd like the TV to act as an EXTENDED monitor so I can just drag HD movie files up there to watch them and so forth. Is this possible?

I tried to enable the TV via my display settings and it gave me the famous "Unable to save display settings" error. I've done some googlng but have come short of a solution.

I'm on Win7 64bit, latest vid card drivers, I don't see why it won't work, especially since, to my understanding, Win7 supports up to 10 monitors? Any insight with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. :D

It won't work. Two clocks are shared between the 2X DVI and 1X HDMI. You can use them all in any configuration, but only two can be active at once.

To get a fourth screen, you need to either get a second card, a USB display dongle or use Eyefinity 6, which has extra DP ports.

Ah that's too bad :( - Thanks for clearing that up Tamlin.
