@Chee

I was thinking that route too.

However, all this mess has turned me off AMD products TBH.

I don't prefer one camp from another, so I'm NOT starting a flame war.

Like many others, I just want the BEST working product/setup for my budget.


I don't fault you for that.

Honestly, if "N Surround" was working and supported already, I probably would have jumped ship by now myself.

I LOVE Eyefinity, and it's a real love/hate relationship with me and ATI at the moment. One the one hand, all this driver nonsense has me going gray, but I just CAN'T go back to single display gaming after being on my Eye rig for the last 6 months. :doh

the Op's problem is he/she is useing 2x 5970's

Quad fire gaines like 2% over tri-Fire and sometimes reduces performance by like 15%....

I have a 5850 and 5970 and i canplay most games in eyefinity fine... no stuttering at all on Aprils 8.74 pack

Hey there,

IMO, getting quadfire (ie 2x5970)+eyefinity to work is impossible.

You will probably have to disable one card in eyefinity, and then enable both cards in single screen gaming.

Probably Cat 10.3 or 10.4 is the best stable driver for your setup.

Good luck.

@sky,

By all means.

If I can give you some advice, it's better to wait for drivers that can run your hardware, not the other way around.

There has been no information so far that 10.7 (or future drivers) will fix this issue.

As Chee mentioned, Eyefinity is a real love/hate relationship for tri/quadfire users.

5850? Really? Got any benchmarks? I'm looking also in getting Tri-fired, but getting 2 GTX480 seems to be the more sensible thing to do.. :(

**EDIT** did the not-so-smart thing to do: bought a second 5970, and just because i'm too curious.. :doh
Guess i will have to start my own topic soon!
