Needs a mini-DP connector for me, the Apple one is 180NZ.... C'mon XFX (or who-ever) make us a single link cheapo adaptor!

slide 8 note number 2 :lol:


EDIT: the unprofessional look of this image ( first 3 numbers are in exponent, the rest aren't anymore) makes me doubt of the validity of this...

EDIT2: also the last note about overclocking being uncapped would be a VERY strange move from ATI... (which still doesn't want to provide users with automatic application of profiles by application detection despite the ability of the driver on this front)

It doesn't say WHO the driver will be made available TO, now does it?

Post subject:  MY FIRST experience with HD5000 series (FAIL)

i finally got my ATi HD5770

SO FAR I DO NOT LIKE IT IN TERMS of multi monitor support

i am using the newly release 9.11 driver
on windows 7 RC eval x64 on a machine with 8gig ram and c2d E8500

1) i have 3x Acer x203w
some how i recently was able to get 5040x1050 rez on a TH2g box via and GeForce8800GTS (was not the case before, though matrox had new drivers)

with the TH2G in conjunction with HD5770, i only can get all the wide screen (3x)3:4 aspect screens like 3072x768 etc.
so HD5770 + TH2g does not allow me (3x)16:10 resolutions.

2) i try to set up a dual monitor setup. (NO TH2g involved)

again FAIL.

i tried to use (2x) Acer x203w in a (1x2) display group.
I WANTED to achieve 1680x2100
a) in CCC under destop&displays, i see my 2 monitors and have them mirrored
b) then in the 1 display, i choose 'display group', and select 'create group'
c) selected "2 Displays (1 x 2)" (also tried 2 Displays (2 x 1))
d) the monitors go off and then back on twice
e) the CCC freezes to a point where i can NO click on anything in the CCC dialogue box except 'options' -> help ( everything else is greyed out or un-clickable and both 'OK' and 'APPLY' are greyed out

f) i close out CCC, and open up CCC again
g) i am in desktop and displays, it shows the display group
h) under the display group's properties, it was automatically set a 1600x1200 (basic), and when i select 1690x2100 (grouped), it would reject my selection and bring me back up to 1600x1200
i) desktop options for grouped were 800x1200, 1280x2048, and 1680x2100, where ONLY 800x1200 successfully worked

at the moment im going to say is WTF !!!

is it the driver, or monitor??

going to try another driver.. both old and maybe there are win7 RC eval specific drivers??
