RX Vega series and Eyefinity

[Micro]

Does anyone know for sure (actually tried, not speculation or "read it somewhere") how many monitors the RX Vega series supports in Eyefinity with/using a DP hub ??

I'd like to upgrade, but also want to keep my 5 monitor setup.
I see that AMD says the Vega series supports 4 monitors, but that may be based on the cards physical connectors, rather than what it actually does, since AMD has done that kind of misleading labeling in the past.

I think 4 is true. But I'm not guaranteeing you to be right. From my experience with older AMD graphic cards, unless you had a Eyefinity special edition, it was limited to 3 and later increased to 4. The special editions were capable for 6 monitors.

I guess this answer is better than none.

Thanks, but, no.
My experience is much different from yours.
Most prior AMD versions from 5000 series and up could do 4 (low end cards), 5 (xx50 series cards), 6 (many xx50 series and almost all xx70 series) and almost all upper end cards after the 7990 series cards doing 5 monitors in Eyefinity if a DP hub was used. It really had nothing to do with what connectors were on the card, but rather the video output chip used by the OEM.

That's the reason I asked if anyone knew for sure, since there is still so much misinformation and speculation floating about, even on much older cards.

Ask on AMD forums instead of spreading misinformation yourself.

What misinformation???
I don't understand the hostility, my experience with AMD cards is much different than JackOne's, I may have simply had more cards to play with than he did.
One of the few lists of cards that support 5 or more monitors in Eyefinity is here - http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=24334&sid=be926f151d0cecc7f21dedd025d8ee74

I also don't understand your link as it gives no info I can see on what I was asking about, but thanks for the reminder that AMD still has forums up, I had forgotten.

I'm speaking about what's written here:

http://www.amd.com/de-de/products/graphics/desktop/5000/5850#

It clearly states 3. Eyefinity versions were up to 6. This is true for HD 5000/6000/7000 except HD 7990 which are 2 GPUs, I wasn't speaking about those obviously. I'm not sure about later cards but, again, if AMD states it's 4 I'm pretty sure it's true, it would also mean it's upgraded compared to the older gen's.

But yeah, go and ask in AMD forums, it's way smarter.
