While I personally never had that corrupted tekst like in your screen shot, I did get these screen flashes while browsing(powerplay changing core/mem clocks because of the GPU usage?) so I automaticly have been turning that setting off in any IE since the Catalyst 11.x drivers. I also turn...

I'm running in 7680x1440(8080x1440 BC) and the 2x6990s I used before didn't cut it in the majority of games. 2 7990s do much better. Only Crysis 3 so far I consider not playable but then at the moment the game hovers at ~50% GPU usage on each of the 4 GPUs. You can forget about using 4x AA...

I've had a lot of microstutter issues in the past but (forcing) v-sync fixed that usually, and now I use the fps limitter of Afterburner in Windows 8. At the moment only Borderlands 2 still continues to feel very low fps despite running at 60 fps in Eyefinity + CFX.

:D The 4 GPU cores didn't exceed 50% usage during the run...:(

I have a 7680x1440 Eyefinity setup and can't see myself ever going back to single screen. One 6990 isn't going to cut it in a lot of cases. Crysis and Crysis: Warhead have massive stutters at 7680x1440 even though fps is above 30. One fix for that is to play on gamer/high or bringing resolution...

He's not completely off base here: I've noticed this phenomenon as well when playing in 8152x1440 with Metro 2033 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games in DX10/11., fraps reports well over 30 fps but moving around is stuttery and it looks more like the game is running at half the reported fps. Mind you that...

I've got a Quadfire setup and an Eyefinity setup, any particular benchmarks you're looking for?

I was using the Sapphire Active Adapter for a while and some card/driver combinations did result in the DP monitor blacking out/blinking. But since getting going with Dell U2711s I don't need the Adapter anymore and the DP monitor hasn't blinked or blacked out on me ever since. :D

well before 10.7a I couldn't play anygame in dx10 stutter free and now I can with smooth visuals and v-sync also works fine so I wouldn't call it horribly bad anymore for ATI's side.

You could try this from rage3d: If I'm having problems and I suspect it's because of driver install issues, what should I do? This is what the Caveman does for Driver freshness. You'll need two free tools - CCleaner and DriverSweeper. You'll also need to know how to reboot into safe mode...

if you plan to do any gaming at 7680x1600 I wouldn't unless you have at least 1x 5970 4GB card. :D

ATI drivers have been bad for quite a while for Quadfire + Eyefinity users but with 10.7a things has improved considerably.

I've been using Eyefinty since Catalyst 9.12 hotfix and I can't see myself going back to 1 screen. And since 10.7a Quadfire also works better, playing Crysis Warhead, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games World of Warcraft with the extra view is just great! :D

That's easy... Tri and Quad fire doesn't work with Eyefinity, yeah you can make the Eyefinity group but performance in games is worse than 2 GPU CFX and you get some nasty stutter. Or you'll have to be willing to switch back to single monitor resolutions for games to get Tri/Quadfire working...
