I wonder if Hydravision still works. The download is gone off AMD's site where I usually get it. Just want to make sure I do not screw up my install.

Skip do you think you could reach out to your contact and see if Hydravison still works? I have 13.12 version which is the newest one.

I also installed 14.6 but i cannot find the different modes. It puts my eyefinity configuration automatically in "fill" mode, which I obviously don't want.
I am using HD6970 in CFX in combination with Dell2709w and 2x EIZO S2100's at the side.

Simple question, where do I find the button or menu to change type of eyefinity filling?

I already tried a clean install of the drivers, to no avail. :(

Your web browser screen looks fine. It just looks to be filling a middle monitor. 21:9 maybe? Why don't you manually resize the screen? What monitors are you using?

The Dell is at 1920x1200, the Eizo's at the side are at 1600x1200.
Eyefinity let me only do 4800x1200 (which makes the Dell run at 1600x1200).

its kinda hard to see in a screenshot but the browser is actually running at 1366 x 768 while my desktop is running at 1920x1080(x3) so its zoomed in and blurry in comparison

and before you ask yes everything is still 1080px3 for all settings its just rendering some things lower res
see the problem?

Hey, I installed this a few days ago and don't have the Mixed Res option. I tried this DDU in Safe mode as you suggested and after reboot, some display drivers auto installed and not sure if that screwed things up, but then I reinstalled this beta and STILL don't have the Mixed Res option. Any other help?

thanks.

Hey I am new here,
and i have two 1024x768 and one 1920x1080 displays. The mixed resolution options is not even displayed to me, I tried under Win7 64bit and then with a clean windows pro 8 64 bit install.
Both configurations lead into the same result. However Windows 8 installed automatically an old AMD Catalyst driver, probably 13.9. after that I did an normal uninstall and installed 14.6.

It would be nice to figure this out, see if there's something I can do to get those options to show up. I even submitted a ticket to AMD but since it's a Beta they probably won't answer. And it would be really cool if they could make it work with 2 different video cards. I mean, softTH figured it out, why can't they? Wish I could get softTH working on the games I want but I would have to reinstall XP as a dual boot cause it worked fine there. Who knows, maybe I will anyway.

After much frustration and tinkering i managed to fix (well for the moment its working) the use of my 3 dell ultrasharp u2414h monitors in daisy chain mode with dp cables, i managed to download the new 14.6 catalyst. how i dont know after the monitors randomly going to sleep and not coming back on without some patience and constant switching on and off, anyway it seems to be working now however i can only stay on for eyefinity mode, spanning all 3 monitors and im unable to use the win+p command to switch between duplicate and extend. are there any suggestions or fixes that i can follow ? i noticed all the previous posts but somthing might of happened by now.

I finally had to buy an R7 card to get it working, but when I set up Eyefinity, it changes the height resolution so my third monitor doesn't line up correctly. I have written to AMD asking for help.
