Eyefinity with 3x old VGA monitors

[Aleksander]

Hi, new guy here.
I was just wondering if it's possible to get eyefinity to work with 3 old lcd VGA monitors.
Like 2x DVI -> VGA, and 1 Displayport -> VGA

Thanks in advance, Aleksander

I certainly don't see why not.

But hen, all my EF experience is third hand, on here..... fro from what I've gathered, you should be able to. As long as teh refresh rates and resolutions match.


Uh.. right?

Should work.
Hook the displayport out to your highest native resolution monitor if you have mis-matched monitors.

I have it hooked to my 22" widescreen, with two flanking 19" non-widescreen.
Gives me 3x1280 = 3840x1024 Eyefinity.

1280x1024 is the native resolution on the 19" monitors.
Eyefinity looks (through the displayport connection) for the highest resolution that will work on the other two monitors, and applies it across all three.

I've hooked 3 CRT monitors up to my 5850 running at 3840x1024, 3072x768 and 2400x600 i would like to point out that they will only run at 75Hz and i can't go any higher than 1024p even though the monitors support it.. even out of eyefinity mode the monitor using the display port to vga adaptor will only run as high as 1280x1024 even though its a 2048x1536 22 inch monitor.

For you're Issue, I would go and use a EDID Mask On the DP->VGA Adapter. If that does work, on all of them.
