If any1 knows how to set desktop to just 1 monitor please tell me. I know how to do it in Windows 7. I have my middle monitor for desktop and i can use my left and right. The only problem is i can't go over 1920x1080 in games. So i have to set it as one big monitor.
Nice Video.. May I ask you a question? I am having a two syncmaster 2253BW and one LG LV5500 42 inch LCDTV..I also purchased an ASUS 6850 Video Card. I have connected two dvi output to two 2253BW and Display port to LG LCD TV..However, I only able to connect two monitors at the same time..I only able to connect to (one 2253BW and LG 42inch) or (two 2253BW) at the same time..Do you know how can i connect all three monitors are the same time?thank you for your time.
Hello, I'm literally dying trying to set up Eyefinity @ home. Please kindly lend a hand if you got a few secs. I recently bought a new PC w/ ATI 6970 card, Win-7 (64bit), 3X Asus VE278Q monitors. The monitors supports (Display Port, DVI, D-sub, and HDMI); hence, the sales told me to buy some expensive DP => Mini DP cables; telling me its "Native". However, my computer just won't recognize the signals from my 3rd monitor. I've asked no less than 10 stores, & still no luck w/ active adaptor
@CmptrPrgmr you need to have display port for 3 monitors, but, I discovered that you can run a Dual monitor eyefinity with a DVI and HDMI recently, but two monitors isn't very good for gaming
I need some advice, I am trying to set up the 3 monitor setup in Eyefinity with a 5870 card. i have 2 monitors on dvi and the 3rd using an active adapter. when i go to catalyst control, which I updated to the current version. it shows that 3 monitors are displayed but the screen looks different than the one on the video and the monitors do not have a black triangle on them to create or expand, how do I fix this? I will restore my computer to where I first installed the 3 monitors to start

aahhh dont know if i like that..... i LOVE it in the games but from just seeing it for the first time in regular window operations, jjust looks too extreme and inconvenient....... so you always hav to have your head cocked to the side on the left monitor? i was under the impression all windows activity would be in the middle monitor and the eyefinity would get in for games.....
@kenny8076 you can do that, but it would be annoying as you would un plug em, then do what he just did for games. or i was thinking with the whole order thing maybe you can set everything (time and start button) for the middle screen then just turn off the other 2, then for games just turn them back on, i dunno if that works
After I create the eyfinity 3x1 group there isn't any "properties" tab to be clicked, under the desktop reso, there's no 5760x1200 resolution. It's all 600x480 or something.
hi, what kind of video card are you running? Do you lose video signal form one of your monitors when you alt tab out of a full screen game or any full screen application?
@BenEvans39 If you use an adapter you need to use an active one. I'm not sure if there are any on for hdmi but I recommend buy a displayport to VGA one or the cheap Sapphire active displayport to DVI.
@BenEvans39 I think thats only for a graphics card that HAS a display port. For instance, the 6770 (MSI Twin frozr II edition) supports 3 way eyefinity, but does not have a display port on it, so it all matters on the card.
I know you said that atleast one of the screens had to have a native DisplayPort. But if I buy the 6970 instead. Wouldnt it work with two DVI and a HDMI?
I got 24" monitor but looking to add 2 17" Vertical on either side, first I would appreciate if someone could recommend 2 x 17" monitor, the thing is my 24" will be main display using DVI and my 2 vertical one will be using DVI and other needs display port, If i was to buy display port to dvi and connect all 3 on dvi will that work? if not would really appreciate if someone could recommend 2 17" monitors
@Blackjack786 2 out of the 3 monitors will be using DVI-I remember that DVI-I not DVI-D like the majority of monitors out there if your not sure type on google images DVI and it should come up with a chart comparing the different DVI connections. The third monitor will have to be using a ACTIVE CONVERTER which converts display port into DVI-D or DVI-I which ever one you buy. an active display port make sure there is no quality loss where as a standard converter will loose quality.
@JJROADSTA Thanks pal, appreciate the reply, yeah I understand the DVI connections, just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't face any issue, its hard to find 17" decent display, will order converter from Dell, If I loose quality its going back lol, Thanks tho really appreciate it.
i have one lg w2363d and one beng e2220hd and i wanna try dual monitors but when i click on create a group it comes up (the only displays availbe already belong to exstendet desktops to create a gruop the desktops must first be disabled) what do i do.
i have a problem. im running 2 DVI monitors, and i got a DVI to display port adapter and plugged it in for the 3rd one. it says the monitor isnt getting a signal. can someone help?
@ZeroKlutch In order for eyefinity to work with a Display Port adapter, you need to make sure that the adapter is ACTIVE, if it's not an active adapter, it won't work. This might be the problem if the monitor is powered, but doesn't seem to be getting a signal. Try testing the monitor's DVI port with the GPU alone to make sure it works, and try using the adapter without the other two monitors... You may just need a different adapter (an Active DP to VGA adapter tends to work great too).
@CT5Holy i just got my AMD Eyefinity approved adapter in the mail today. i hooked it up and i have the same problem. i have tried different monitors with it and the one with the adapter is always black. it has a signal. my computer detects it but when i go to the monitior setup the screen is grayed out and small. any suggestions?
how exactly do i set up my displayport i have a active displayport to single-link dvi adapter its there on my catalyst control when i enable it,my monitor doesnt receive signal, i dont know what wrong ? even when i just plug it in, When in windows doesnt receive signal,says its plug in but no signal :S
@nachcozz yes you can, that's what most people use. Just make sure it's active. And finding native displayport monitors is just a pain from what i've heard
if you buy an adapter for displayport to DVI/HDMI, it MUST be an active adapter. Passive adapters will not work, so make sure you check that it's active before you waste your money
@nachcozz usually it should say right in the description. All active really means is that the adapter is powered, at least that's what i understand of it. Most active adapters that i've found are anywhere from 80 to 150 dollars which is a pain....BUUUUUTTTT Sapphire has come out with an active displayport to dvi adapter that works very well for about 30 bucks that you can find on newegg. i just got mine last week and it's working flawlessly with 3 23" Samsung 1080p monitors
@Darcin8or now i bought the adapter and a new screen, but i can only choose 2x1 monitors when i click on the "create group" i know that every monitors are working but cant use all at same time...
My graphics card only has a mini display port and my monitor has only hdmi, vga, and DVI. So do i buy a mini display port to hdmi adapter or somthing..?
Got a question about that three monitors setup do they have to be the same trying to get mines to work I have three different ones also I have a adapter a dvi-hdmi all screens hdmi also what kind of active display port??
just so you know, you dont have to use a native display port monitor. all you need is 3 dvi monitors with an active display port adapter. i just ordered the adapter for 35 dollars on tigerdirect. display port monitors are hella expensive.
@rangemaple6 lol Little faggot has a bigg homo brother lol I Live 194-200 Harborview Dr
Tavernier Florida Bitch now come to me soo i can beat the shit out of ur faggot ass pussy lol ur little brother is a pussy lmaoo what did he come crying to his big queer brother Lmao! Btw come to my house Itd make my day You Twat
@rangemaple6 Im sure you do.. anyways those are old weak cards and ur still wrong so go play with you toy k'nex train your not old enough for computers i saw your channel your like 11 And all your computer videos are complete and utter garbage there simple things that your still doing wrong .
@un1b4ll: I tried this method with two DVI and one HDMI, all supporting 1080p, on an HD 6850 card, and I could only create groups with two monitors. I know the author said you need DP, but you say otherwise. Could you help me out here? Anyone who knows, please private message me.
Talk slower!!!! What? Are you trying to get this done before the boss catches you or something?.... and take more time with the cable hook ups as your eyefinity 3 monitor thing takes very demanding cables setup. Also, talk about alternatives that include the active or passive connections.
I want to setup my eyefinity displays like 3+1 , like the 3screen standard eyefinity setup + a separate screen for windows. i have an 6870 with 2 minidisplayport to vga adaptors but i cant seem to get it working???
@SRSpoony if not how to connect up? I have tried 2 dvi's and one displayport port.. no work.. I have never had so much trouble with a graphic card before.. LOL
@masterod1 dude buy a displayport to anolog adaptor by HP cost me 30GBP and just set it up like this. DVI and HDMI and DP all draw too much power to work without using the usb side of things or a real displayport monitor. anolog takes half that. i have had mine working like this for 5months and never had one problem at all.
if you get more problems mail me direct on youtube
Hi Linus - I have obtained a Display Port to VGA adapter for 25 bucks US and it does the job perfectly. Please indicate to your viewers in the future (and you may have in other videos) that ATI has a listing of validated DP adapters, and the user can either use an active DP to DVI adapter (around $100) or use a DP to VGA adapter. Both adapters must be active (the DP to VGA is) to enable three screens in Eyefinity.
:( I've got 4650 and i can't use my 2 Monitors as Horizontal Span, Just "DualView", I hate this. XP has Horizontal Span and I could play GRID, CRYSIS with 2 monitors. This is one of the first things I hate from windows 7
@adampope64 Of course there were active adapters available at launch. There were active adapters available for the launch of the 4xxx series. Where exactly are you getting your "research"? You should try Wikipedia before posting.
you dont have to have a displayport monitor, but you cant go wrong when purchasing Dell's displayport 23" monitor. I have it and it's frickin great! It's only $300 and $20 more for the displayport cord. It's a good investment and the picture is crystal clear. Oh, and have fun finding a displayport adapter in your town. Im in a relatively small town and I would've had to order it. And thats fine, but I had the money so I just ordered the Dell cuz it's badass!
@carlybaby69 go out? If you are suggesting that I "go out" and find one, ive already solved my problem by buying the dell, like 6 months ago. But thanks for you helpful advice.
I am about to test something guys - but from all my extensive reasearch on many different websites i have concluded the following simple rule (although i am yet to test it on wednesday):
If your graphics card has a Displayport ++ (check on the box for a logo that looks like the display port logo just with two + symbols stacked vertically to the left) Which the 5970 Black Edition card does, then you WILL be able to use a Passive external adapter for converting DP signal into DVI or HDMI.
I going to buy 3 benq monitors 24", its dvi hdmi and vga, i wonder if i can have 2 monitors on dvi and 1 displayport- DVI adapter at run on ? is that good´?
I going to buy 3 benq monitors 24", its dvi hdmi and vga, i wonder if i can have 2 monitors on dvi and 1 displayport- DVI adapter at run on ? is that good?
for those of you who lack self sufficiency in conducting research regarding eyefinity monitor configurations and adapter requirements, visit amd-news.com/assets/files/amd-cn/Eyefinity_SetupGuide_v1_AMD.pdf and scroll down to the configuration table where it is all made very clear. after carefully reviewing the information, if you fail to be enlightened, please punch yourself in the face on my behalf.
you dont need a display port monitor to run eyefinity, any displayport to vga adapter works.

just so you know, you dont have to use a native display port monitor. all you need is 3 dvi monitors with an active display port adapter. i just ordered the adapter for 35 dollars on tigerdirect. display port monitors are hella expensive.

@un1b4ll: I tried this method with two DVI and one HDMI, all supporting 1080p, on an HD 6850 card, and I could only create groups with two monitors. I know the author said you need DP, but you say otherwise. Could you help me out here? Anyone who knows, please private message me.

Talk slower!!!! What? Are you trying to get this done before the boss catches you or something?.... and take more time with the cable hook ups as your eyefinity 3 monitor thing takes very demanding cables setup. Also, talk about alternatives that include the active or passive connections.

@masterod1 dude buy a displayport to anolog adaptor by HP cost me 30GBP and just set it up like this. DVI and HDMI and DP all draw too much power to work without using the usb side of things or a real displayport monitor. anolog takes half that. i have had mine working like this for 5months and never had one problem at all.
if you get more problems mail me direct on youtube

Hi Linus - I have obtained a Display Port to VGA adapter for 25 bucks US and it does the job perfectly. Please indicate to your viewers in the future (and you may have in other videos) that ATI has a listing of validated DP adapters, and the user can either use an active DP to DVI adapter (around $100) or use a DP to VGA adapter. Both adapters must be active (the DP to VGA is) to enable three screens in Eyefinity.

you dont have to have a displayport monitor, but you cant go wrong when purchasing Dell's displayport 23" monitor. I have it and it's frickin great! It's only $300 and $20 more for the displayport cord. It's a good investment and the picture is crystal clear. Oh, and have fun finding a displayport adapter in your town. Im in a relatively small town and I would've had to order it. And thats fine, but I had the money so I just ordered the Dell cuz it's badass!

I am about to test something guys - but from all my extensive reasearch on many different websites i have concluded the following simple rule (although i am yet to test it on wednesday):
If your graphics card has a Displayport ++ (check on the box for a logo that looks like the display port logo just with two + symbols stacked vertically to the left) Which the 5970 Black Edition card does, then you WILL be able to use a Passive external adapter for converting DP signal into DVI or HDMI.

2 questions
1. I've heard (from people like un 1b4ll) that you do NOT need a native display port monitor, is that true?
2. Do all monitors need to have the same resolution? Because I'm thinking about having one 1080p monitor to use with my 2 crappier monitors.

for those of you who lack self sufficiency in conducting research regarding eyefinity monitor configurations and adapter requirements, visit amd-news.com/assets/files/amd-cn/Eyefinity_SetupGuide_v1_AMD.pdf and scroll down to the configuration table where it is all made very clear. after carefully reviewing the information, if you fail to be enlightened, please punch yourself in the face on my behalf.
