My point is we shouldn't have to screw with SoftTH. :wink:

Although this did get me looking at SoftTH again. This 2.0 alpha for Win 7 with tons of display options has my attention. My philosophy has always been that if SoftTH can do EyeFinity should too :P

I agree here. All I have wanted to do since eyefinity came about was to run a 5x1 setup. Because Eyefinity never supported it, I kept just upgrading my displays. I think I would still be very comfortable with 5 x u2410's instead of 3 x 3007's. In fact the picture is too big for my taste when running these 3 in portrait mode.

Thanks, it was a head ache to do. Though this kinda made me sad, I wasn't running any real harsh games and i was getting trash frame rates. I know that's a lot of pixels. But It's still weird the result i got. I guess it was because of SoftTH and running games in windows that my performance was leaking out some where.

as the CCC works right now, can I set up a 5x1 portrait just for desktop use, and then have a separate 3x1 portrait profile for CrossFire and Eyefinity for games?

It will be having 3x1 Eyefinity in the middle and have a Screen extended on either side. This is the current way CCC works. It's really stupid actually. It should just be supported, but I nor anyone else for that matter has gotten any ETA or any confirmation that it will be supported at this point. It's really nice to play on, I'll you that, but without support, it kinda sucks.

In Short, yes it works like that.

All right, thank suiken. I'd really like 5x1 portrait for everything, but I spend about 40% of my work day using Excel and Visual Basic, so if i could just extend my desktop for that and still have my center 3x1 for games I'll be a happy dude.

i have my 5 dell 24's and for desktop applications is nothing short of awesome. i am dying to game on 5x1p
i really regret buying the 2 eyefinity cards as i don't believe 5x1p will ever come out. it would have happened by now. i dont think i will be buying radeon again either cause of the lack of reason around this 5x1p. feels like a wasted purchase.

I made a thread about it on AMD's forums if you want your voice to be heard. Go for it.
