would it be possible to use two DVI's on one video card and 1 DVI on the other?

Finally an ETA on bezel Management. ATI is moving and that's the good part, driver wise, it seemed ATI was lacking, but they are indeed stepping up there game and giving us the features we want. Now if only they'd release the 5870 6...

Bezel management sounds great. When it was first talked about, I wasn't sure I like having 2 black strips at the far edge of the outer monitors like the way Matrox does bezel management. I'm glad ATI will do it differently. I just hope going from 5760x1200 to 6036x1200 doesn't hurt framerate.

Oh it must hit frame rate, but just hopefully not too much.

Pretty sure you can do that now? You can hook up multiple monitors to each card thats in a Crossfire config and they were demoing large crossfire setups with 12 screens or more. Would have to ask someone with 6 monitors and 2x 5870's for certain though :P

Dont have my 5870's yet so cant exactly test it myself, as I am waiting on the 6 cards for the added memory..

Edit: Snap! I did forget eyefinity hadnt fully been implemented yet and still had crossfire issues.. ignore for now atleast ;)

Took there time to catch up with Matrox, you would of thought if they was going into competition with them they would of tried to do everything they could out the bat.

the focus on crossfire smells fishy, is it to help the gamers or incrase the money on sales ? ....

So we get a virtual resolution, i wonder if this is going to work with the 3x2 setup.

hmm 10.2 release is slated for today but no sign yet. I guess ATI are on Valve time or something.

Looking really really good so far. CF working in Dirt2 as it should and surprisingly enough, BFBC2 also! Pulling 100+ FPS while parachuting as attacker and solid 80's in battle. (high, 1x, 1x, off, off, 5760*1080)

Hi forum,

Any word with blinking issues with DP - DVI active adapter using the new firmware. I want to get an ATI card but I want to make sure this issue is resolved before I do that
