Crossfire 5850 + Eyefinity only by DVI using 2 card?

Post by golog »

Hello,

I would like to know if at this time with the last driver : It's possible to make eyefinity (3x screen) without any adapator and using DVI of the first and second cards ?


(sorry for my bad english ^^ )

Eyefinity has always required the ports to go out of a single card (and probably always will because of how the driver core is designed). It's just the opposite for NVIDIA, where they require two or three cards to do triple-head. Neither way is flexible, but they're forced into it by how their driver cores work.
