Hello,

I have my TH2GD since saturday. I just updated the firmware and installed the latest driver ... but I cannot reach the highest resolution (3x1680x1050).

Do anyone know if it is possible to get a ati 4870X2 playing together with the TH2GD on 3x1680x1050?

I am very sad ... because I bougth the TH2GD only because of the new resolutions.

lol maybe u shoulda have done some research and read this post before u bought it :P

no it doesn't support 4780 at the moment on 5040x1050 for ati cards :P

others us sli 280 or 260 or even triple 280 or 260

I, like many others bought the 4870 because it was supposed to be the best of the best. I bought a digital th2go thinking that I would get even better results. Unfortunatly, I didn't find wsgf until after I had bought my present setup. Yes, some research would have saved me many heartaches but I have what I have and hopefully a way will be found. I have three I-INC 28" (27.5 actual) monitors and am very pleased with them. My mobo is intended for ATI crossfire but I think that it will run an Nvidia card as long as I don't try to do sli. Should I make the switch to get the higher res? I am not a fanboy of either Nvid or ATI. I run a quad core AMD (I try to support the underdog if I can). Don't give up on ATI, maybe we can all band together and get ATI (AMD) to find a solution.

Thanks for the laughter ... :cry:
You are right. Some more reseach would have saved me. :wink:

But as PapaLes wrote, lets band together to get ATI a solution.

to PapaLes:

Did you find a way to use 3x1440x900?
I wrote a support mail and thats what Matrox answered:

[i][quote]Hi Andy,



The ATI cards do not support 3x1680x1050.

You should be able to run the 1440x900 dough, but make sure that the “hide modes this monitor cannot supportâ€
