AMD Eyefinity

[PAfreak Florian]

Hello,
is it possible if I have activated Eyefinity to use the full screen programs on a single screen?

Thank you

[suiken_2mieu]

yes and no. You can run a fullscreen application at a single monitor res, but it will be copied on all other displays in the group.

Hello,
I dont't undersand what you mean!
It sounds for me if you mean when ive have on every screen the same Frame.
I think i have just 1 group /AMDEyefinity Multi-Display/Eyfinity Display Group where i have my 3 Screens in the right adjustment.

Time for diagrams:

Running a Fullscreen Application, let's say a Game in eyefinity

3 x 1080p monitors = 5760x1080

Running Game at 5760x1080
[ G ][ am ][ e ]

Running Game at 1920x1080

The same image will be on every monitor.

The way to get around this is make a profile where you have all extended monitors so it will be like:

[ ][Game][ ]

Du you mean with profile --> Presets?

Yes, seems like they changed the wording since they updated the look of ccc.

Your CCC (Catalyst Control Centre) window should have a Preset tab at the left, quite close the the top.

You set your display how you like - whether it be Extended, Cloned, Eyefinty, etc - then go to the Preset tab and Add preset. By default, it adds shortcuts that you can access via the CCC systray icon. Yiou also have the options for desktops shortcuts or hotkeys.

However, proper Preset (known as Profiles in previous driver versions) loading has, for me, been ksetchy, at best. Some driver version do it well, some do it inconsistently, some do not load Presets at all, such as 11.6 and 11.7. It's been my biggest beef with ATI drivers.

Maybe i'm missing something ?
When i launch a game @1920x1080 in full screen : right and left monitors go automatically off and as you can see i have no presets ?

There's no way around it. If you have Eyefinity enabled, games running in a single-screen resolution will get cloned to all three screens. Fullscreen-ing apps like a browser will fill all thre screens.

Turn the the other displays off, or create and use Presets. Or, run the game in a indow.

Sorry, but are you sure about that ?

I've made a video taken with my phone to prove you :




Edit : Oups ! I've just understood that it's because CrossfireX is enable. Effectively when it's disable, game get cloned to all three screens.
