that's a list of all the available ones that are guaranteed to work (provided the part isn't broken lol).

I found mine pretty easy to set up. If you run into troubles be sure you post here and we'll help you out!

Mussels · Apr 3, 2011, 03:14 AM

I can haz join!

currently running the following Lolfinity setup (for shits n giggles)

1x5870 1GB
1x15" LCD on VGA
1x23.6" on HDMI
1x40" on DP -> DVI -> HDMI

this runs at a whopping resolution of 3840x720

what? i got a DP to DVI adaptor, and worked with what i got XD

t_ski · Apr 3, 2011, 02:49 PM

What are your displays? Let me know the models and I'll add you to the list.

A pic of the setup is not necessary, but it would be great to see how you worked that

i honestly dont know, these are spare screens XD

i did take a pic however

unfortunately it came out real bad

So I picked up a couple of used monitors today and now I need the DP adapter but I'm lost. The monitors I bought are both d-sub and the third one is DVI. Do I need to buy an "active" adapter? And if so, how can some people set up their Eyefinity with only 3 d-sub displays because they only recommend 2 passive d-sub adapters.

you need an active DP to DVI adaptor for that one DVI monitor. the other two are fine on VGA.

you can get DP to VGA adaptors, i assume thats how they get one, and the other two monitors off DVI-VGA adaptors. those are always passive.

So you're saying that someone that uses 3 VGA monitors would need an "active" DP>DVI adapter and then connect a dvi>vga adapter to that and then to the monitor.

Is that right? Which one did you use Mussels?

MoonPig · Apr 7, 2011, 03:46 PM

Just got my new monitors.

Pictures tomorrow when my 6870 arrives... Excited

no i'm saying you'll need a DP to VGA adaptor, probably active. the DVI ports on these adaptors do NOT let you connect DVI-VGA adaptors.

Cool. List your specs and monitors, please.

I take it you got your issue fixed with the blurry display?

MoonPig · Apr 8, 2011, 03:06 PM

Nah, it's still blurry. I'll work it out.

2x P223W
1x X223W
1x MSI HD6870

HossHuge · Apr 9, 2011, 11:21 AM

Just used a passive DP to VGA adapter. Worked like a charm.

1x Samsung 2343BWX
1x Acer AL1916W
1x Chimei CMV 946A

Mussels · Apr 9, 2011, 12:46 PM

Dropped the 5870's, moved on to 6950 2GB. Awaiting mini-DP adapter from XFX, so not exactly running eyefinity ATM.

I thought you were going for a 6990 !! Or was it too loud to your taste? When you run EF again, please tell us if the extra frame buffer has noticable performance advantage over the 5870.

yeah, the noise is just too much for me. The dual 6950's are basically silent on stock bios, but get pretty noisy under shader mod bios.

I using a Corsair H50 as a cooler, simply becuase it near silent, even though I have much better coolers sitting here collecting dust.

I cna say that the frame buffer being 2GB does have an impact, suc hthat even @ 2560x1600, higher levels of AA can be applied before performance tanks...I'm running an AVG 8xAA on most apps, where as with the 5870's, even 2xAA hurt performance too much, even @ 1920x1080.

Pretty happy with these cards, to be completely honest. I'm pissed that I went throug hso many 5870's, and am stil lleft dealing with that for running eyefinity, as XFX still hasn't got the DP adapter in my mailbox, and we're now into 3+ months of this RMA.

I'd love to tell you guys how it works in comparison, but 5870 had DP right there, and these silly 6950's need an adapter that didn't come in the box.

What really gets me is that XFX will gladly swap another 5870 for 6950 for me, yet cannot get the adapter to me in a reasonable time frame.

/rant

MIght go to the PC store today and pick one up. Been playing alot of NFS Shift2, want to get F1 2010 going too!

@ caDAVEca:
I think you should have chosen Sapphire 6950s, they are bundled with mini Dp adapters AFAIK.

cadaveca · Apr 12, 2011, 06:57 PM

Yes, the sapphire cards, in reference form, also have an HDMI cable in the box.

t_ski · Apr 12, 2011, 08:12 PM

What kind of adapter do you need? Mini DP to HDMI? Mini DP to DVI (active or passive)?
