Any custom 7950s with 3 DPs?
- Thread starter 0100
- Start date
It's really odd that the Asus DirectCU II cards don't have the same output ports on the 7950 as they do on the 7970. That's really the only reason I could see for buying those giant cards... As far as I can tell the only 7900 series with 3+ DP ports is the Asus 7970 DirectCU II -

MSI's HD7970 Lightning got four mDP's: http://msi.com/product/vga/R7970-Lightning.html
No HD7950 Lightning being offered (yet?) though.

Yeah thanks guys already know about the 7970 lightning and DirectCU II. Yeah it is kinda strange the 7950 DirectCU II doesn't offer more DPs.
Oh well, would have liked to have gone with a 3 DP 7950 for $400ish, I guess it's down to the 7970 lightning, DirectCU II, or a 4gb 680(depending on what they price these at). I really want to go with a 7970 DirectCU II but it scares me with all the problems people have had, but supposedly they are fixed now.
Back to the wait and see game......

The same cards I'm looking at too, not sure what GTX 680-card(s) I would choose yet however. Still waiting for more interesting models (more VRAM and other coolers mostly).
I guess that it's Eyefinity-related for you as well then?
Yup you got it.
With eyefinity you definitely want to stick with 3 DPs, and with only two card choices...
I'm with you, waiting on these custom 680s before I make a final decision. I'm taking my time before I throw 500-600 beans to someone.
It has worked quite good with combining DP and DVI's on both my HD5850, HD6970 and the HD7950 that died after less than a month. Only DP's (or mDP's) is what I, too, is looking for this time and the only cards that meet that criteria is HD 7970 DCII and MSI's Lightning. I have yet to see a GTX 680 that uses at least three DP- or mDP-connectors,
I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't any new Eyefinity6-cards since the HD5800-series. AMD is pushing as hard as ever marketing their Eyefinity and multi-monitor features but they haven't released any cards optimised for using it.
