| Well, I'm taking the certain for the uncertain, because if you mix different display-outputs it's a recipe for tearing. I'm getting an Asus HD7970-DC2-3GD5 or the Asus HD7970-DC2T-3GD5. If anyone else has more info about his card, please share it! There a far too few people using this card (for eyef... |

| Sad part of the Story, just heard someone Talking about Tearing on HD7970! gotta ask him how and what he did to get it, i'll get back later. I'm not sure if you're talking about regular 7970's or the ASUS one. If you're talking about the ASUS card, could you be as quickly as possible? I'm sorry, but... |

| I might ben considering this card too, but it has no hdmi port for my tv :(. Would it be possible to connect the tv to the hdmi port on my motherboard (Intel integretad graphics)? Well, intergrated graphics are disabled the moment a PCI slot is in use by a GPU. You could connect your tv via the inc... |

| Well, I've looked up the adapters again, and the price is only around 20 euro's. And since I've already got one, that means I'd only have to spent 70 euro's in total over a reference AMD 7970 to eliminate a tearing issue. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is interesting. Also, the card is overclocked ... |

| Since there are now a lot of new cards from Nvidia and AMD that do have output designs optimized for multi-screen users, this thread is getting a bit outdated. However, if you own either of these cards, you can still come here and get support. Moose NOTICE: This thread also covers the Asus HD7970-DC... |

There is a desktop utility you could use for that, it's called Matrox Powerdesk.

I believe this also works for Nvidia and AMD, there are enough topics on this forum to find out.

| Thanks for the info. I've already worked out the problems causing tearing, I'm just obsessed with trying not to get the problem myself. It's extra difficult because I've got three DVI/HDMI screens :/ I've always wondered if it'd be annoying or very noticable. I've got two choices left: get two GTX56... |

| Thanks for your delightful explanation! And about the tearing: yes, I might be a bit too worried. The problem is that I've never actually seen the tearing issue with my own eyes. And it's never mentioned in official reviews with 3 monitors. However, I've seen in your system that you use HP ZR24W mon... |

| Before you poor all your money into an AMD card, make sure you know everything there is to know about a particular problem called screentearing. Look at the AMD Eyefinity thread to see what I mean. |

Your screenresolution would be divided into a grid of 100 x 100, and you could edit the anchorpoints of the HUD elements. However, after some extensive googling and looking through my... |

| You know, I got the weirdest thoughts now. Am I correct if I say that if the VRAM limit is reached on one of your cards, the game slows down. And therefor the only thing you *double* or *triple* is the computing power? |

| I've already worked out that you can't Tri-SLI with GTX 560's. That out of the way, let's ask (yet again) a question. So if one GTX560 has problems calculating 5760x1080 with 8x AA (not performance wise but Vram!) even if you have 3 GTx560 you won't have any Performace increase at all! Thats what we... |

| The same data needs to be replicated across all cards, thus you dont extend the total vram by adding another card, think of it as raid 1 where the data is mirrored on all cards not striped like raid 0. Why did no one ever told me that? I've looked through hunderds of pages about Eyefinity and Surrou... |

| You would do better to get 2x 560 2gb than you would to get 3x 560 1gb. I now know that GTX560 TI's do not work in triple SLI. Does that also counts for regular GTX560 2GB cards? If regular GTX560 2GB cards do work in Triple SLI, would it be worth the money considering one of the cards is in an x4 s... |

| nVidia's Surround technology doesn't require 3 GPUs. It requires an SLI setup (or a GTX590 or a fancy version of the GTX 580 such as the Galaxy MDT GeForce GTX 580). Basically you can do Surround with 2 cards or even a single card. The 3rd monitor that's connected to the 2nd card isn't at a reduced ... |
