[quote]got mine too.. i wish i could becnh it but i dont have a 5870 1 gb

Have you upgraded your card yet? Everything working as you would expect?

I've been having problems with the E6 not detecting my 30" displays correctly. When I go to create an Eyefinity group, for some reason, the displays all sync incorrectly and default to 640x480.

I fixed my sync issues... and it turned out to be the MiniDP-to-DL-DVI dongle that I'm connecting to my 30" Apple Cinema Display. The Dell MiniDP-to-DP dongles worked out OK. I had to experiment with which MiniDP output would sync w/ the DVI correctly ... and it ended up being the output 3rd from the bottom of the card, or the #3 output since the driver seems to enumerate the outputs starting from the top of the card and number #0 - #5.

Hello guys,

i read some very informative reviews on this site/thread! I just have one more question:

I want to use Eyefinity6 in a different setup than a gaming setup. I'm aiming at a 6x1 landscape setup for a multimedia project i'm working on. It looks like this:

link

I did this with two matrox TH2GO DVI edition driving 6 screens each with 1680x1050 which makes one big windows desktop of 10.080 on 1050 pixels (windows xp). However I would like to use ATI's bezel compensation (Matrox bezel management seems to cut away pixels).

To compensate for the OpenGL max of 8192 pixels we're gonna make two windows and use offset to place them neatley next to each other...

So my question: does the Eyefinity6 supports 6x1 in lanscape mode?

tnx duniek for the answer,

i have another question now:

would somebody be so kind to run GPU_caps on an Eyefinity6 card (http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/) and save me a list of available supported OpenGL extensions on this card? I need to know this before buying to make sure it suits my project.

This would really help me out!

Tnx in advance...

The OGL 4.0 extensions support for The Eyefinity 6 edition will be same as the rest of the HD 5000 series. Geeks3D posted this list from the initial preview drivers:

http://www.geeks3d.com/20100326/ati-catalyst-10-3-opengl-4-0-driver-20-new-opengl-extensions/

However the best supporting driver for the Eyefinity 6 Edition (Catalyst 10.3b) currently does not feature OpenGL4.0 and we will still be a little way off from fully unifying the branches into the main Catalyst release.

Dave, give the guys at ATI a thanks from another satisfied customer! Absolutely love the E6! Worked right out of the box like I thought.
