So I stumbled upon something called Rainmeter, I changed my Windows theme, background, and I rearranged the monitors a bit so that games look better and lines are smaller:

Next purchase, which I haven't decided which yet, is going to be a 7970 or 7950. After that, 3x 24" monitors. Browsing through the photos in this thread is making me want it even more.

My 3 x U2412hm monitors arrived today. I have them set in portrait eyefinity. Oh boy, do I love them! I will post pics tomorrow.

Quick question, I have one monitor setup with a monoprice mini-dp to full dp cable, one monitor attached with a dual link DVI and one with the regular DVI cable that shipped with the monitor. Is there any benefit in making them all dp connections? And if there is, can you hookup monitors to both videocards since my reference gpu's only have two mini-dp connectors each.

Is there any benefit in making them all dp connections? And if there is, can you hookup monitors to both videocards since my reference gpu's only have two mini-dp connectors each.

No, Eyefinity will only work if all monitors are plugged to the main card in crossfire configuration. Otherwise, crossfire will be disabled and all monitors hooked to second card will be in extended desktop only.

If you don't have screen tearing or flickering, leave it be.

Otherwise, this configuration will be perfect;

Monitor #1, DVI > DVI > 6950

Monitor #2, DVI > DVI > 6950

Monitor #3, DVI > DVI-MiniDP Active Adapter > 6950.

This is the adapter http://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-006B-DisplayPort-Single-Link-Certified/dp/B004071ZXA/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1325586177&sr=1-4

There's no way to sync them to all DP because there's no adapter from DVI to DP, unless you are using 6990.

Been huge into driving games though, guess that makes up for it, and I dont feel like I am such a bad influence when my three year old sits on my lap and plays "Race Cars!" w/ me instead of helping me to kill people.

I have been told some games like JC2 are more geared towards Nvidia cards, maybe that is the same with GTA. Although I know that many have said that games like GTA that are ported over to PC are not all that great when it comes to graphics performance even with a high end card like the member above with a 6990. that card should handle it no problem.

I OC'd my card to 920/1385 and it made zero difference. I may try to bup it to 920/1400.

I realize these are old post, but reading through the thread I haven't saw a real answer yet..... so...

YOU"RE TOO CLOSE..lol

Had the same prob way back when I got my first big screen (51" rear projection) while playing Socom. Found that I needed to be a good 8' back to keep from getting dizzy...

Is there any benefit in making them all dp connections? And if there is, can you hookup monitors to both videocards since my reference gpu's only have two mini-dp connectors each.

only if you have tearing issues, back in the day when Eyefinity etc first came out, it was pretty important that all your connections were the same (else you often got some pretty interest tearing issues) but these days the drivers and support is just so much better, That said it is possible to "daisy chain" displayport 1.2 if your screens have an out as well as an in. Never used that feature nor am i aware of which monitors support it when i was running eyefinity I was using E6 cards so it was never an issue.

Else you have to buy a card designed for it.

No you cannot unfortunately use the outputs from both cards.

Soooo want to go back to my triple monitor goodness :'( this time at 120hz all the way
