You don't need a DP monitor.
Single-link (up to 1920x1200) active display port adapters are only $25 now.

Golly-geen!  Alrighty well that's good to know, thanks for the info!

However, it is impossible unless you have a displayport on your video card.
You can only do 2 monitors via hdmi/dvi/vga from the gpu.

So if you have a DP, you're good.

I do!  Eyefinity was actually one of the big reasons I went with my HD5770.  That and I hear it's performance scales very well when you add a second one in Crossfire.

(P.S. What is golly-geen?  I can say damn, but can't put god in front of it? lol)

Yes. His dept must pay better that mine due to his nicer toys.

EBFD is volunteer fire fighting, I'm a perfeshunal truck drivah, so thats how I am able to afford the toys. Its alot cheaper to do this than to go bar hopping and get hit for DWI.

BTW how did you know it was East Berlin Fire???

With the Nvidea cards going SLI all the monitors must be on the same type of output ie. HDMI VGA or DVI ports for it to work. The reason is the refresh rate must be the same on all 3 monitors.

In your profile, the city is shown.  Not much of a reach, after that as "ebfd" pretty much had to be an acronym.

If not for the town listed in your profile, I would have guessed "Extremely Bad Flying Dude".

Really?  I was under the impression you could mix DVI and HDMI, just as long as you only had two monitors per card.  At least that is the case with ATI cards, perhaps it's different with nVidia.  On my card I can set one monitor to 45 Mhz and the other to 75 Mhz and all is gravy (except that the one with 45 Mhz is choppy...).  Mycurrent set up is 75Mhz on the left, 60Mhz on the right, or 75Mhz on the left and the HDMI to my TV at 60Mhz on the right.

From what I understand, each graphics card has the ability to do two different clocks (one clock per monitor).  That's why with SLI you get 2 on one and 1 on the other card.  You now can get 3 (or more, I think there is a ATI card with 6 display ports on it...) on one because Display Port gets rid of the need for the graphics card to provide the clocks, that's all done onboard the monitor (or active DP port) now.

I'm sure the nVidia cards with display port have the ability to do 3 monitors one card as well.

I have nVidia cards, and I know they can use both - but I don't know if they can use both to create one software monitor (i.e. to use both for 1 game.)

Nice set up

[icor1031]

Nice Burner.

The panels aren't uniform with each other and the 3 in the middle don't have the blue light.
What monitors are you using?

I can see the end 2 are U2311H.

I looked on youtube and couldn't find any Eyefinity videos for this game, so I registered for this forum and created one, I think many of you will appreciate the idea. It gives you a much better FOV.

If you have any questions, ask me.

Beretta 90-two (not 92).

I think the other video has the holster too.
