Multi-montior support question

Post by ibwahooka »

Hey guys,
I'm currently running 2 x Radeon HD 4870 1GB video cards and I'm going to use my tax return to jump up to a multi-monitor setup. Now both these cards have dual dvi connections, so I shouldn't have any problems hooking up 3 monitors to the my system, correct? Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

That's not the case, only HD5000 and above cards are Eyefinity capable, also to use Eyefinity all 3 monitors have to be connected to one card, and crossfire disables the outputs on the second card anyway.

Have a look at the FAQs in the top menu bar for some general information on AMD Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround :)

Well, that's a bit of let down. I guess I need to upgrade my video cards as well. Oh darn.
