When this card does release will it be able to do 5x1 portrait with a 6th monitor on top. If so could you update Hydragrid to 5x1. As it is right now the most you can do in portrait is 3x1 unless I'm missing something. I prefer to stay in eyefinity when doing 2d work and not switch back to extended desktop if I don't have to. to echo everyone else THANkS for the great cards and support! my wallet on the other hand :doh



Not yet. The Six can do 6x1 but not 5x1. Some day but not today.

when can we expect the support for hd rdy screens/projectors with eyefinity.

i have three 720p projectors, but instead of 3840x720 i can only choose 5760x1080 (and some lower but in my case worthless resolutions). all projectors are found with name in the ccc. as eyefinity always chooses the highest supported resolution this effects all hd rdy equipment (as they all can display 1080p).

the effect of this issue is a major hit on the fps and a badly looking image becouse of the forced interpolation of the displays.

this is a major software issue and a pretty easy to solve one too - but still there is nothing done about it since several months the cards are out now.

common ati - give ppl a custom resolution option on eyefinity... thats such a basic function its hardly understandable why customers are treated like littel children with predetermined resolutions. hide it behind 5 expert mode buttons and 10 warning notifications but do something!


I am sympathetic. I have been asking for the same things since the earliest days, but the software guys haven't yet delivered. Pretty sure DaveB has been too. My experience, not that it is much comfort, is that these things appear to be simple but are not because of other things that I am not aware of. I'll meet with the boys Friday and bring this up. They are probably aware of it, but are working on something else. None-the-less I will ask.

I thought you could specify any number up to the max number of outputs in a spanned group?

Don't the standard cards allow a 2x1 spanned group?

I think he means it cannot do 5x1 + 1?

Kyle from [H] is gonna be pissed if that's not possible. He's been begging for this for a while, and he's been ATi's online champion for eyefinity.

First result on the top left, hardlinking doesn't work.

I know PLP isn't any sort of priority but I was wondering if there are any plans to add Portrait-Portrait-Portrait(flipped) so the first 2 monitors are in normal Portrait mode and the last monitor is in Portrait(flipped) mode?

Seems this would be much simpler than mixing PLP so thought it might be a possibility.

So I thought there would be something out yesterday about the 5870E6 card. It was supposedly the release date. So when do we really get the card?
