HD6870 Eyeinfinity Setup

[danny.nguyen]

Hi guys,

I'm new to eyeinfinity and also new to this forum. I wanted to ask for help. I did configure the eyeinfinity setup - everything is fine for anything except gaming that I can't play Left for Dead 2, for example, I get duplicated views on each monitor. Yes, I have triple monitors.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Danny

First thing to do is put them into a group and arange them correctly in CCC.
Next select the triple monitor resolution ingame. In left4dead2 it would be under 16:9.

HD 6870?

They are not to be released until Friday and everything is under NDA.

Your issue is probably that you haven't created an Eyefinity group yet. Here's how to setup a HD 5000 series Eyefinity:

Very suprised, since the NDA is global and doesn't expire before Friday. :)

Could you give us some feedback on the card, benches or something? :D

Yeah I will try but can't promise, because I have alot of things on my plate lately :(

I'm sure someone will bench it for sure. But I can give you the link...

I can tell you it does fly well! I personally think HD6990 because I tried to use heavy setting on picture quality for playing Left for dead 2, I noticed it's a bit lag or it' just me getting used to eyefinity because I may get motion sickness lol due to that quality.

Pics of the card or it didn't happen! Getting a 6870 would be a step down from a 5870 anyways. Gives me more time to save up for a 6970 (or 6990 if they ever get dual cards to work right).

I just played left for dead 1 and 2 on high settings without lags! With that setting, I don't get motion sickness due to awesome quality pictures!

Nice! :D

Kickass MB you have there!

Future setup should you feel the need for more than 3... 4 should be easy.... Beyond you'll need DP hubs (not available yet)

Eyefinity with hubs... the 6 series...
With 2 MST HUBs (utilizing DP ver 1.2 bandwidth) or daisy chaining (rare on monitors) .... you can drive up to 10 (1920x1200) displays (more if you split the DL-DVI)...

Up to 4 from each mini-DP... and 2 from the "legacy" DL-DVI

I think I read somewhere that the hub would only require passive adapters off of it if you didn't have DP native monitors.

I think I read somewhere that the hub would only require passive adapters off of it if you didn't have DP native monitors.

+1 I also recall reading somewhere that the hubs would have the clocks inside thus being able to to passive adaptors.
