    Single card eyefinity/surround - 680 or 7970?

    OP here, thanks for all the input. A bit more info about my setup - I'm only using 5040x1050 so my VRAM requirements aren't vast. Also the chance of me bothering with SLI/Crossfire is virtually nil so that's not a factor either. @allen5055I've tried the process of switching the primary monitor...

    Single card eyefinity/surround - 680 or 7970?

    I'm currently running eyefinity on my trusty radeon 5850 and I'm due an upgrade soon! I was waiting for the 680 to come out just so the price would drop on the new radeons, but now the geforces can do single-card surround I've got a choice on my hands. I've had 2 problems with AMD so far...

    3x 30" Portrait 6970 CF Eyefinity vs 580 SLI Surround Showdown

    Excellent, hop to it. Remember- 2 cards, crysis, 5760x1200, maybe underclock the CPU a bit to simulate a 2600k. To work! /cheeky

    How to stretch the desktop across 2 displays?

    Can't you do a 2-monitor surround group, since you have SLI?

    Eyefinity = Nauseous

    @chas- ah, fair enough then. But then again, if you have the same problem with glasses you have to admit you're in a minority there :cool:

    Spanning dual screen wallpaper across both monitors?

    Google around for programs like Ultramon which give you multi-monitor screensavers, desktops, taskbars, etc. I use ultramon but there are others with advantages and disadvantages too. Not free but worth it!

    Planning a monstrous new build, SLI surround or CF eyefinity?

    Out of curiosity, how much RAM have you seen in use by a game?

    Planning a monstrous new build, SLI surround or CF eyefinity?

    Isn't it fairly irrelevant, since the leak is dx9 and high settings aren't entirely there? Still, interesting I suppose. If you can find crysis 1 I'd love to see the results though!

    Eyefinity = Nauseous

    Pc_user, Chas- Have you actually played on one? People always moan about bezels on forums and youtube especially. When I did my eyefinity build, people watched me play on it and said the bezels ruined it. Once they sit in the middle and start playing themselves, it all makes sense. Of...

    58xx Flickering gone?

    *subtle whisper* 6950 2GB.

    6950s Crossfire Eyefinity Issue: wait for 590GTX or 560GTX 2gb SLI for NV Surround?

    Not sure which way the benchmarks would go, but I remember reading about the 5970 and maybe even the 4870x2 that because they share memory access in a more sophisticated way, the cards are kept in sync better than a normal crossfire solution. Raw performance is still lower of course because...

    Planning a monstrous new build, SLI surround or CF eyefinity?

    @heartlesssun- yeah, that was pretty much the sentiment I've heard around the webs. I may wait for Ivy bridge in that case so I can get intel instead. @Vega- That would be awesome! Although if the 2GB recommended vram is true, then the 3GB 580s will definitely be needed. But alternatively, if...

    Planning a monstrous new build, SLI surround or CF eyefinity?

    @obliv- nice setup! I gotta say I prefer landscape myself, especially in games like just cause and crysis with the vast landscapes. Talking of which, I notice you said those performed poorly on your setup, and I play them LOTS, so they're pretty important to me. I wish Vega had benchmarked...

    Planning a monstrous new build, SLI surround or CF eyefinity?

    Cool, thanks. Are there any with two x16 lanes but not using nforce, so as to avoid the performance loss, however slight? Yep, my 5850 has desktop tear line on all monitors, and on one monitor while ingame, and the dp loses signal too, but likewise i've never had GSOD. I can't overclock at...

    Planning a monstrous new build, SLI surround or CF eyefinity?

    Yeah, 1080p TN is enough of a dealbreaker for me. My monitors currently are old 1680*1050 TNs, which is fine but if I'm splashing out then I want better ones, particularly as eyefinity reveals bad viewing angles much more, even in landscape. I'll use it for normal PC work too, so I want 16:10...
