Hi Guys,

I've just arrived home with my new HD 5870 and couldn't wait to see it working. I had already 3 Dell 2408 monitors, so I was good to go with 2 DVI and 1 DP connection. The thing is that I can only have image in 2 of the monitors. I can switch between the 3 (so all are working through the 2 diferent outputs) but I can't have the 3 working at the same time...
The control center detects 3 monitors but I can only enable 2...
Is there anything I am missing? (I'm sure there is)

Can you guys help?

Thanks
 
Glad to hear you got it working.

Post some pics and impressions in one of the Eyefinity thread!
 
Post pics of WoW or Team Fortress 2 if you play either of them. I have the exact same setup, 3 -24" Dell 2408WFP's, and the 5870, my system is in Sig :)

My only gripe with Eyefinity so far is the fish eye lens or very stretched out look on the side monitors in games, it is pretty bad and annoying to me now. In WoW it is almost a distraction, the images look bent or like an acid trip all distorted too much, where it does not seem to go with the perfect quailty image on the main/center display.

I think this is all the issue with FOV ( field of View ) and the Aspect Ratio of 16:9 it sets this extreme resolution of 5760x1200 at. They need to have in-game settings to adjust the FOV and aspect ratio to like 48:9 or what ever that would be ? Until then the games look way too stretched out on the side monitors where is looks freaky, and almost like a different game compared to the center display.
