I played the game for a couple of hours (what a fucking slog) and have not bothered with this pile of shit since. Not even remotely bothered about their useless patches by the sound of it. Fantastic summing up!

The first thing is your cpu. If you are using the cpu in your sig it is no where near enough to drive 3 580's. Forget all the at that res you are gpu bound. Yes to a certain amount you are but you really really need a lot of gpu power to get three fermi working in certain games. My 920 @4...

I will give it a try and see what happens.I assumed for 3d to work with the TV it would need the HDMI 1.4 handshake. It is not DDL or DTS connect. It HD sound DTS master audio and DD true HD I am after.

My amp is only hdmi 1.3 onkyo 875. So i need a way of getting hdmi 1.4 from my 460 to the tv and HD sound to my amp. The amp wont let the 1.4 3d through as it is only 1.3. This is why I need another way of getting HD sound (1.3) to my amp. The only other way I can thing is to use another...

Hi all I was wondering of any one has tried or knows if it would be possible to use the above config to get 3d to my tv with the 460 and get HD audio to my Onkyo 875 hdmi 1.3 amp with the xonar. I cannot see why it would not work but you never know with pc stuff. Cheers John

I can certainly take a look. I am finding that my 920@4 gig is not able to get the cards at full tilt in BC2. What settings are you using. I would say at a glance I am probably about 10 - 15% slower than your figures. I only really play online so my min is very important. I don't like HBAO...

I can help there. I was building a rig for a mate. He does a lot of video and photo work so asked for a hex core so I got him a 980. I thought I should 'try it' :D with BC2 to see if it would run it any faster. It made next to no difference at 4 gig which mine runs at. Again all cores and...

I have the same problem with these as the .51 beta's in BC2. The middle screen is moved to the right by about and inch. Performance is all over the place. Have gone back to 267.91. They were moving in the right direction with bc2 but have broken it again. I wonder if it is to do with...

The few games I have found that use the most ram so far Dirt 2 (1500 + all max 4x aa), Alien v Pred (1500 + all max 4 x aa) and BC2 1450+ (all max 4 x aa) Try putting BC2 upto 8 x MSAA not CSAA in game and you will find things like water disappear. That seems to be the way the engine copes...

Yeah you do need to make sure you have them split. It was not just both cards you had on it it was your whole system by the sound of it. I had a 470 in my system (borrowed) to try as physx card and my psu was still fine with a hefty OC on gpu's and cpu. I am looking at getting the new 1200...

That would be great thanks. It was mainly no performance gain or even less with tri and stuttering that lots of people were complaining about when the surround drivers were first out.

Bringing this one back up. To the guys with Tri-Sli 480's and surround have the new drivers sorted out the performance problems. I know 3d seems to be ok but am using 2d. Cheers

Very nice set-up. I would have gone for 3 30"s but just cannot fit them in my space. Ignore the idiots that have no idea what they are talking about. As Kyle said the GFX cards still have to draw the pixels that are behind the bezel so you are running that res. You get lower performance...

They are the loudest and hottest cards I have used BUT if you have them in the right case and use some fan profiles they are not that bad. I use headphones it is not a real problem for me. I have them in a HAF-X case with 120 CFM sythe fan controlled by a fan controller with a thermal sensor...

If you are getting that screen you may as well get the 3d kit and get the second card. Even on the relativity small res of 1080p when 3d goes on you still loose alot of fps. You really want to get as close to 60fps in every game that you can. With one card and 3d some games you wont get there.

If you are only going for one card and you want to max everything in any game at that res you only have one choice. The 480. Have a nice birthday and enjoy the new toys.

A good few of the laptop drivers that are using the AMD 5000 series are now using drivers from the main site. This is a vast improvement over the old once yearly updates laptops used to get. Monthly updates like desktops. Check out the amd site to which manufacturers use the main AMD drivers...

Dirt 2 with everything max out ultra or high whatever its max is and I think from memory 8x AA cant really remember but anyway it uses 1400 ish meg of ram @ 6050 x 1080. So if you have the gpu power and a large res more memory is useful. This was one of my main reasons for moving from my 5970...

On the bright side once you get it sorted you will get a whole 7 hours of game play. I did not even bother installing it. I got mine the first day the SC2 promo was on so did not know you only got 7 hours of game play!! Good old NV and their 'creative (see dubious)' marketing.

The number for everyone will be slightly different depending on how they have the monitors set-up and where they are sitting. I have my monitors slightly over lapping but slightly more on one side. My pixel correction is 150 for the left side and 140 for the right. You just need to try and...

I stopped using my XFI card for not doing what it is meant to do as well. I have gone back to using on board for the first time in years. I have to say for everyday gaming there is not alot to notice with one exception NO PROBLEMS :D. It could be a weird problem with the 5970 doing...

I am not sure why it is not working. Warhead installed and played with no problems @6050 x 1080 all enthusiast except shaders I left those on gamer 2 x AA, 16 x AF game looks great and runs very very well. The only difference is that is a disk install. I cant see steam not allowing it to run...

You will notice a big jump in BC2 at least with that new setup. Get the 930 upto around 4GHz and you will double your frame rates in that game. HBAO is still as far as I am concerned not playable at sourround levels. It just kills the FPS to below 50 fps. In a FPS that is not good but at...

Thanks for the mini review. I am unsure if something is not quite right with the setup or the fact that you are running tri-sli? I am able to run BC2 and just cause at 6050 x 1080 all high settings max settings in just cause 8 x AA 16 x AF and runs very smooth. In BC2 4 x AA HBAO off and...

Thanks I could not remember which way round it was and checked when I got home.

At the moment I am only using 2 in surround. I was advised by a few people in here and widescreen gaming that tri-sli and surround was not working properly for 2d. In BC2 (more or less the only game I am playing at the moment) I am getting between 60 - 80 fps at 6048 x 1080 all high 2 x AA 16...

Even the euro prices where higher than the US prices. Shipping costs form europe would bump the price up and our wonderfully crap exchange rate at the moment would also make things worse.

When you select the span option it automatically enables sli for you.

I would not be too sure the cut will be as big for you guys in the UK out prices are the same in numbers in £ as your prices are in $. We have been getting ripped off well since launch day. Sadly it did not stop me buying :D

Download the drivers. In the NV panel select span option and it will guide you through the setup. Set up the bezel correction. Then start the game select the option from the setting menu in display. I think from memory you need to select 16:10 to get the resolution displayed. It is good fun...

Well sent the 3 470's back and got 2 480's until the drivers support 3 properly. All set up very easily. I am glad I did not just go for the 470's as there is not a huge difference in fps from my 5970 @ 900/1200. I would say lightly higher average slightly lower max and higher min which is...

Have been thinking over things last night I am now wondering if it would be better just to go for 2 480's for the moment and get the third when/ if it starts to work in surround. I don't think I will get enough benefit over my 5970 with just 2 470's. What seems to be the best idea? I am wary...

Thanks for the reply. I will find out the results on Monday Tuesday. Any sort of scaling will be a bonus. If there is no scaling I will probably send these back and get 2 480's instead.

It is specific to Eyefinity with more than 2 gpu's. The perfomance is terrible. Often much worse than normal CF. So having tri or quadfire and eyefinity just did not work. It is like a slide show. The main reason for going to 3 cards is one display per card so I am hoping it works even...

I will try and find the link it was on twittter from one of the catalyst guys http://www.rage3d.com/index.php?cat=75#newsid33966578 I would not hold my breath though. They denied it was only a problem a few weeks ago. If I thought they would fix it soon I would be getting a 5870 or...

Cheers. That is my concern. I will find out on Monday when it all arrives. I had a suspicion that it would not be as good or simple as a single screen. I was looking at the big single screen solely as processing power point of view and not an fps comparison. There is a chap on wide screen...

Well I have just bitten the bullet and ordered 3x 470 with coolermaster HAFX case so will see what the scaling's like. If they are not powerful enough I will send them back and get 480's instead.

Thanks for the reply that is my thinking. I am one of the lucky ones with displyport (well nearly only occasional lost display port message I have native DP monitors) I have never had any flicker or any other weirdness. I am really looking at getting more performance. On all high settings no...

Hi All I was wondering if any of the guys with tri 470/ 480's could give me an idea of the kind of scaling and FPS they are getting over normal sli if possible. I am looking at replacing my 5970 with either 3 x 470's or 3 x 480's (and new PS!) depending on performance. I had convinced my...

BC 2 is the best game I have found so far for eyefinity/ surround. You will need to turn settings down a fair bit to get a playable fps with just one card. It is a simple as you say install game. Start up choose res and settings under advance and play. The game is great fun to play with...
