    Do AMD / ATI Drivers really suck??

    I've used both Nvidia and ATI cards. I've had terrible driver experiences using an ATI 5870 in Eyefinity with 3 monitors, enough that I've sworn off using them. My biggest issue is it wouldn't save eyefinity profile settings so I would have to constantly reform the eyefinity group. For a while...

    ATI 10.4a problems

    I'm on a 3x1 eyefinity setup on an ati 5870. I recently upgraded to 10.4a so BC2 would be fixed and I am running into the same profile saving problems that plagued 10.2 which 10.3 fixed =/ (Swapping from an eyefinity group to three independent monitors.) I've fully deleted my old profiles...

    New ATI 5870 owner having eyefinity issues

    I tried deleting the profiles and going from 10.3 to 10.3a was a completely clean driver install. I think I got it working now. I uninstalled the drivers again and just got my desktop set up how I wanted it in windows first.(Last time I was changing things around in CCC) I then installed the...

    New ATI 5870 owner having eyefinity issues

    10.3a made it even worse. Now it wont remember any of the monitors positions after coming back from the eyefinity profile. It also splits desktop icons randomly on one of the 3 monitors and in half, so half the icons are on the left and half are on the right. I guess I will try 10.2 but I really...

    I was using the leaked 10.3 back from February. I will give 10.3a a try and post back my results.

    New ATI 5870 owner having eyefinity issues

    I've been a huge nvidia fan and I finally took the plunge and went red. I just got my eyefinity setup assembled, a 3x1 landscape on an ATI 5870. I am using the 10.3 drivers. I am using a doublesight ds-263n monitor in the center and two asus vw266h monitors on the side. My problem is switching...

    Eyefinity HD 5870 2GB vs 1GB

    It sounds like that could be the issue. You could try running a tool like rivatuner to show how much memory is being used for both cases. If it is running out of video memory then stuff will be stored on the system ram, which is a lot slower. I am curious as to how much vram you are using...

    Eyefinity HD 5870 2GB vs 1GB

    You could crossfire the 2gb card with the 1gb but the 2gb card will disable half of its memory to match the 1gb card.

    Eyefinity HD 5870 2GB vs 1GB

    I can currently get a stock ATI XFX HD 5870 1GB for $350 at tiger direct after 15% bing cashback. I've never had any bing issues other than having to wait 60 days so I kinda trust them. I will be running an eyefinity setup with 3x1920x1200 screens (5760x1200 resolution.) I am upgrading from...

    Video Card Upgrade

    I am tempted to just go with the 5870 after nvidia's announcement of an announcement today. Although they there isn't more info out there, their website still suggests that you will need SLI for triple monitors and it doesn't seem like there will be a single pci express x16 slot dual gpu card...

    Video Card Upgrade

    My current system is a Q6700 quad core processor and a GeForce 8800 512mb GTS g92 graphics card. My motherboard only has one pci express 2.0 16x slot, so SLI is currently out of the question. My monitor is a 26'' 1920x1200 screen. I am a heavy gamer and programmer. The games I play the most is...

    DoubleSight DS-263N - 26"

    I got my Doublesight DS-263N from buy.com a few days ago on Tuesday. I'm unsure if I have the polarizer. On a full black screen I see a red tint when looking off to the sides(which I've heard was the cause of the polarizer), but I also see a white glow too. The viewing angles weren't as great as...

    LCD Calibration consideration

    Hi everyone, I've been looking around for a new LCD monitor for a new computer build, I've decided on the DoubleSight DS-263N. I am a huge gamer and a college student studying CS so my budget is pretty tight but I think I'm able to afford it. The LCD monitor will also be serving as a central...
