Hello.
I'm using a Sapphire 2gb 5870 card with a TH2GO Analog version, because my three 22'' only have VGA.
I was wondering whether and if so, how much performance I'm losing with this ombination. Does the data get slowed down somehow when it goes through the TH2GO device? Would I have better FPS in games if there would be no Adaptor.
I'm playing on 3840x1024 btw. I know its not the right aspect ratio but I like it like that over a lower but correct aspect ratio.
I'm considering upgrading my monitors to higher res and hdmi, but I'm a little bit of display size whore, and want to have as big a monitor as it can be a big jump forward from my old monitors. And I want to catch the 3D bandwagon. I'm waiting for certified 3D nvidia Surround Vision 32'' monitors.
Does a TH2G analog slow a eyefinity card down?

If there is any performance
If there is any performance hit it must be so minimal as to be in the irrelevant category. Perhaps a few microseconds are lost simply because the video signal goes through another device between video card and monitor, but I don't see how a TH2Go could actually limit FPS since it doesn't touch the video stream until the GPU has already done its work. Refresh rate is limited by connection bandwidth, yes, but otherwise I wouldn't worry. What I do know is that I get terrific performance from my 5850/5870 using my TH2Go @ 3840x1024. :D
