Eyefinity problems wit desktop area

Post by drachenfell »

Hey there.

I recently got myself an accell display adapter (Active) for my twin 5870 config on my system. Have set them up and created a group but the group is all cloned displays. I was told to go into the display group properties and increase the resolution but unfortunately it doesn't go above 1920x1080.All three displays are the same though the icons on CCC are different for one. They line up like this:

W2261 DFP, displayport
W2261 CV, HDMI
W2261 DFP, DVI

I've upgraded to 9.11 CCC. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Did you connect all the screens to your primary card? This needs to be done in order for Eyefinity to work. In addition, ATI haven't added crossfire support to Eyefinity yet, so you have to wait until then before you can use Eyefinity in crossfire. Here's a video on how to set it up (and other threads of interest):

Hi there.

thanks for the reply. All screens were hooked up. But after fiddling with it and exiting, reentering into CCC it seems to finally be working on 5760x1080 which is pretty good. What was strange was that the CCC was at first not allowing me to group them as the option was missing and subsequently after grouping the three screens togther refused to let me increase my desktop resolution past 1920x1080 (Cloned).

But luckily all is working fine now. And in crossfire too.

Thanks!
