Hello Is it possible to use a dual PCI-e Motherboard and 2 PowerColor 6870 Eyefinity 6 Graphic Cards (without Crossfire) to display different or seamless content to 12 different displays? Will my Windows 7 64Bit and ATI Drivers see and extend on all 12 displays ? And what MB can handle this ? Thank you. |

If all you want to do is have 12 separate displays then it should be possible with a pair of Eyefinity 6 cards, if you want to create one big display then that's not possible with the ATI drivers alone, you'll need a third party bit of software, like SoftTH. |

You may drive 12 display in total with crossfire disabled, as for regarding a motherboard, any mobo with 2 pci-e 16x slots will work. Do you have something in mind already? |

mhmm, Eyefinity 6 cards do have Mini DP Port Right? If you would use Zotacs Mini DP to 2 HDMI Adapter then you could physically add 12 Monitors to one Card! Might that also work with the Software ? Or could there be a problem ?` |

mhmm, Eyefinity 6 cards do have Mini DP Port Right? Thanks for a heads up on these finally being out on the market. They've taken their sweet time making these available. I've been waiting a year now. I just picked up 3 to do some testing with. Also, if you look closely at the product pictures for the adapter it's using a DP-mDP cable into the adapter. For those with mDP ports, just pick up a 3 foot mDP cable at Monoprice and plug it into the adapter instead of the DP-mDP cable supplied. So this adapter can do both mDP and DP with the swap of a short cable. |

I would be interested to know if these work with the 5xxx series cards or not. I get the impression that these devices are DP v1.2 to be able to drive 2x 1920x1080, which the 5xxx series are only DP v1.1, should be fine for all 6 and 7 series. |

I should know soon. I have 5870 E6. It might be the excuise I need to upgrade to ASUS 6970 or 7970 DirectCUII cards if it doesn't work. I still really want to get the Sapphire E6 6GB card though. Taking bets the E6 is being a hold out to be used strategically against NVIDIA releases. |

| Post subject: | Hi thanks for the answers, |
Hi thanks for the answers, @Skid: i don't want do play games, but display video clips, so I cannot use SoftTH. Usefull software by the way @delphium: I don't have any MB in mind. The processor in an AMD X4 II 640 AM3. Any recommendation ? @haldi: unfortunately the 2xHDMI splitter is not an option because I want to display a panoramic video clip to the extended displays. |

Hi thanks for the answers, Not sure what you mean by "option because I want to display a panoramic video clip to the extended displays". It could enable Eyefinity 6x1, 8x1, 10x1 and 12x1 to be done. seems like new maximum options of panoramic display to me. |
