lol i also had 2 dif monitors before i chose to setup eyefinity i sold them and picked up 3 identical ones

how do you guys find playing games with bezel comp

I only use bezel comp for racing/flight games. For everything else, RPG, FPS, etc, I don't bother with it.

I had it on for a while and it seemed more natural, but when you are on the PC not gaming, things go missing. That sucks, so I turned it off.

You have to hide your porn? That sucks man.


I don't think bezel compensation really does much in terms of gameplay for me at all. Some people are really anal and want everything to be perfect, but I just have my screens physically adjusted to be as clean as possible. When shit is flying around on screen or you're racing at 200mph you don't even notice the 5mm difference in lines. I seem to play better in FPS also with it turned off.

The point is when using more than two screens you have to use active adapters on the displayports or mini displayports in order for eyefinity to work. The 3rd screen won't display at all unless it's properly active.

The resolution limitation you're thinking of comes from displayport/miniDP <-> DVI single link adapters. Single link DVI has a resolution limitation (1920x1200), and that has nothing to do with passive or active, as Mussels said.

Hey T-Ski, you need to change my listing to 6950 2GB cards, too. Still using the same monitors though.

Do your idle temps go up when you use Eyefinity? Mine goes up by like 10 to 12 degrees.

The temps on mine went up when I hooked up additional monitors to the card. It's more work for it to push multiple monitors than it is a single. This happened with my old cards and my new ones, so it has nothing to do with the model series.

Ditto. Running 2, 3 , or 4 brings my temps up dramatically from 1 screen. My idle temps range from 39-45 on both cards with 4 monitors.

LoLz. I get like 80c temps at idle? I've always had higher temps than most, but geez...you can see what normal idle temps are, and multi-monitor temps, too.

How close are your cards together and so they have the stock coolers on them? Mine are right next to eachother since there are three cards, and the top card idles in the upper 60's C.

Stock cooling, shaders locked, stock speeds on GPU and Memory.

The cards have a slot between them. It's a crappy fan profile that leads to the high temps for me, really, fan profile doesn't change when adding more monitors, and the fan on my card barely spins up until the 76c temp reads 80c.

Could be due to ambient temps too. Most of your numbers seem high to me. But, you can change to fan profile, too ;)

Yikes! I thought my card going from 41 to 52 was bad.
