R0hnin	Posted - 2010.05.10 13:46:00 - [1] hi any1 experience with ati's eyefinity on 3 monitors with a 5770 ? --------------------------------------- Look behind you! A three headed monkey!
Grez Core Contingency	Posted - 2010.05.10 14:42:00 - [2] Works fine. ---
Clone 1 Ministry of Mojo	Posted - 2010.05.10 14:59:00 - [3] yep works fine Linkage (24" portrait x 3) -------------------------------------------------- I got ganked at Za'Ha'Dum, but I am ok now.
Nidaron	Posted - 2010.05.10 15:15:00 - [4] I'm running 2 5870s in Crossfire with Eyefinity and the game runs perfect. Games like EVE is what Eyefinity was made for, I could never go back to single display.

Arvano	Posted - 2010.05.10 15:30:00 - [6] Originally by: Clone 1 yep works fine Linkage (24" portrait x 3) I may or may not be jealous.
Viqer Fell Minmatar Maelstrom Crew Paradigm Alliance	Posted - 2010.05.10 16:58:00 - [7] Whilst it look sgreat as a single image surely the main issue with eyefinity is the massive bezels of the monitors and thus the image is broken down into chunks so is nowhere near as smoothly impressive as that single image makes it look. I am almost praying you come back and say no there is a great 2mm bezel Monitor so it really does look like a single image just so I can be mega jealous and aspire to own some :)
N0N	Posted - 2010.05.10 17:22:00 - [8] I can imagine a game like eve running fine, lets face it they're not the most over demanding graphics. Now when it comes to driver stability with other games........ that's a whole different story. I would buy a top end ATi card now, if the drivers could be relied upon.
digitalwanderer Gallente DF0 incorporated	Posted - 2010.05.10 17:33:00 - [9] Edited by: digitalwanderer on 10/05/2010 17:34:35 Says it all really: HD 5970 powah,and yes,that's my desktop background....Click it to make it bigger. It's running on 3 24" inch displays at 5760*1200 resolution with all in game options maxed out and i never see it go below 60 Fps no matter what i'm doing...Hovers between 80 and 120 Fps most of the time.

Still would be nice to have though I'm happy with two screens since you can move all the ui around now. Originally by: CCP Zymurgist Get off the forums and go kill someone!
Suneai Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2010.05.10 19:04:00 - [12] Those pictures are making me want to sell off my projector setup and grab me an eyefinity capable card + a third monitor. Would you recommend a triple 1920x1080 or 1980x1200 resolution for an EVE setup?

Still would be nice to have though I'm happy with two screens since you can move all the ui around now. The bezels aren't that thick if you shopped around for displays with fairly thin ones to begin with,not to mention that there's also a nice trick to use to make them even thinner still,by placing the side displays slightly behind the center display and angled towards the user,in such a way that the user only sees the bezels from the middle display,and not the side ones anymore,and all without losing screen real estate either.
Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.05.10 19:42:00 - [14] Originally by: digitalwanderer ..nitpicking my nitpicking.. Yeah yeah I know, I was just pointing out that there is at least some border between the edges of each screen. =p Originally by: CCP Zymurgist Get off the forums and go kill someone!

Still would be nice to have though I'm happy with two screens since you can move all the ui around now. Don't forget the image gets "split" apart and stretched. This is actually something thats on my agenda, (although I doubt it will go anywhere) but a tool for bevel compensation would be very, very handy. Imagine having a big screen over every window in a bar setup like a **pit and each window was relative to your position in space on you evebox....<cough> don't make me make an example... rofl. -T'amber Quote:** Vote T'amber for CSM5, Vote custom ship fur POLITICS:SIMULATORÖ

Would you recommend a triple 1920x1080 or 1980x1200 resolution for an EVE setup? Either one works fine,as the drivers for the cards support resolutions as high as 8000 pixels(horizontal) by 8000 pixels(vertical). I'm using 3 HP 24" L2445M's,which have pretty thin bezels to begin with,and support 1920*1200 resolutions,and they're also pretty cheap,as i bought them at 250$ each. One of the things you'll need is an active display port adapter that's powered by a USB port(Sapphire makes one),as native displays featuring display port imputs are still pretty rare and quite a bit more expensive than panels that feature DVI/HDMI/VGA imputs....

Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2010.05.10 19:51:00 - [18] Can you guys please stop posting images which break the forums for us mere morals. Links will suffice. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008 Originally by: CCP Fallout :facepalm:

ATI HD 48xx cards are terrible, especially with EVE. I've had graphical glitch problems with them for 6 months now, ever since I downloaded a new set of drivers that many months ago. Now, even rolling back the drivers to what I had before then doesn't fix it. Character portraits show up as black nothingness, 50% of planets show up as fuzzy balls of ****, ship portraits show up as white noise, etc. It's a straw short of game breaking.

Apologies Shadow! -T'amber Seriously,it's there,but like i said,it only shows up if you're using 3 identical displays. Oh as for the original poster,using a single HD5770 with 3 displays will work,but not to sure it'll be playable in terms of performance,as it depends on the screen sizes chosen,and what settings you like to play at as well,and what exactly do you do in eve,as if large scale PVP is considered,that also increases the workload on the video cards by having to render all those ships and effects too.

Actually I'm not at all surprised. I gave up on ATi cards a few years ago, simply because their driver support sucks so badly. The shame about it is, if they could sort that out, Nvidia would be fubar'd.

My biggest fear when I decided to invest in eyefnity was the bezzels, it's not a cheap upgrade for most, but now I have a hard time playing anything that doesn't support 3 displays, that's one negitive thing about it, you get spoiled.
Morolen1 Mushroom Liberation Front	Posted - 2010.05.11 02:22:00 - [25] Edited by: Morolen1 on 11/05/2010 02:22:26 Eyefinity user here, yes eve is awesomeface on the 3 screens and you do get used to the bezels, it takes at most, 10 days of annoyance, and less for most people. If you seriously want to know about eyefinity and what its like in the wild, hit up http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/ they will cure all your ills. ----- I'm a Caldari Nationalist, Fascist is Such an ugly word.

The shame about it is, if they could sort that out, Nvidia would be fubar'd. Ignore both of these posters. 48xx series was amazing, as is the driver support nowadays. Living in the past does no-one any favours. Eyefinity is awesome, and as others said, you get used to the bezel within a few days at the most. I instantly got used to them. Go for a 5770 and get two of them in crossfire at a later date to rival the 5870 in power. Win, win. ---

Anyway, as a HD5750 owner. (Former 8800GT). There is a few anoying issues. One being massive slowdown in dust clouds. Pretty much kills the FPS. It didnt on the 8800GT. So I hope some new driver will soon fix this. EDIT: Using 2x24" here. -------------------------------------- Abstraction and Transcendence: Nature, Shintai, and Geometry

The two screens don't make it any better either. http://desusig.crumplecorn.com/

The 8800 Struggles to keep up with the previous generation of ATI cards like the mid range 4000 series and in some benchmarks its only slightly ahead of the top end 3000 series cards.
