EYEFINITY SETUP

[Ravious]

Hey, I have decided to go with the eyefinity setup and have picked three Samsung Lavendar p2250 monitors, Link below....

I am also looking for an ACTIVE displayport to DVI adapter so I can run it all of my 5850.

Could you maybe send me some links of some ACTIVE DISPLAY PORT TO DVI ADAPTERS please?

Thanks!

A 5850 will struggle to game across all 3 monitors dude.

Yeah but im upgrading shortly to the 69** series

Also with eyefinity spanned across all 3 your web pages and programs will do the same. I have 3 screens but only game on the centre one because of it.

AMD need to make EF aware of what programs you want to open across all 3, imho its a massive flaw atm.

Eyefinity will spread fullscreen apps across all displays, but usually if I'm using my browser etc, I will just not maximize it. I agree 100% though, there should be some more intelligence as to what gets maximized to fill all 3 displays. It would be nice if I could fullscreen a window and have it fill just one monitor. Shouldn't be too hard to get that in the drivers, but I'm not holding my breath. A small workaround is to use Windows 7 to resize the window to the top of the display, which will maximize the window vertically only.

As for the displayport to DVI adapter, I am in NA so not sure if these are available where you are, but I have used ACCELL single-link active adapters, dp to dvi for my 5870, mini-dp to dvi for the 6970. Flawless performance with either. Bear in mind, the single-link adapter is only good up to a (single monitor) resolution of 1920x1200. These adapters retail for about $40 in my store.
