I've got the 5870 installed now and it looks....well ok exactly like the 260 it replaced so far (not played any games yet.)
I have played around with configuring EyeFinity and I can't seem to get it quite right. Right now I have two monitors:
Vizio 37in 1080p LCD (1920x1080)
Dell 2405FPW (1920x1200)
The Vizio is wall mounted above the Dell so I figured I could setup a 1x2 group to give me 1920x2280 (2280 = 1080 + 1200) resolution. I've done it numerous times now and every time, it wants to knock the Dell down to 1920x1080 and I wind up with a group whose resolution is 1920x2160 (2160 = 2 x 1080.)
If I split the group back apart and just do extended desktop, I can seperately configure the resolution on each display run each at it's native resolution. When I group them, I can't get at the resolution on anything other than the group itself and I have a small black bar at the top & bottom on the Dell display.
I Googled about this and it looks like EyeFinity is supposed to work with different resolution displays - I mean what if you had a 30 with a 20 in portrait next to it? Would EyeFinity scale the 30 down to 1600x1200 to match up with the 20 then? That doesn't seem right at all.
In messing with the configuration I did have to exit the Catalyst thing and restart multiple times because all the buttons/menus would get grayed out. Once I exit and restart, I can continue - so maybe it's just EyeFinity is a little flaky to configure on different resolutions right now?
Does anyone have a 1x2 setup with different vertical resolution displays setup? If so, how the hell did you do it?
Thanks!
