Wow. That would be huge. I haven't heard about this. I've reached out to my contacts, and asked about PLP as well.

HOLY CRAP. About damn time. Well I hope it's awesome.

This would eliminate the need for SoftTH if it's really flexible. I wonder if we can mix orientations too. Or even refresh rates. I have two of my monitors overclocked.

I downloaded these and tested and its still no-go :(

You can't mix orientations if you create eyefinity group. You can only align mismatched monitors

I exchanged a few emails overnight with AMD. Their PR firm forgot to include me on the press deck and conf call. I'm getting an exclusive interview this afternoon.

Got questions? Post them here.

ask them why i have to rely on 3rd party support for 21-9 monitors and why something cant be done in CC automatically to fix this issue once and for all

instant detection..instantly fixed..correct AR

I'd be curious to know if we can do really oddball combinations, like 3x1 landscape with 1 extra center monitor above as a single large surface.

Is there a chance they wil support custom width resolutions in the future. Like 4000*1080 or something. When just using half of the side monitors.

Haven't had the chance to fiddle with 14.6 too much yet but did get it installed. So far it gets a thumbs down for no longer letting me use Windows Key + P to change between Eyefinity and Extended modes. The dialogue still comes up in Windows, but selecting Computer Only, Duplicate, or Extended has no effect. Just leaves me in Eyefinity, regardless.

A cursory glance does indicate that they've changed how Eyefinity profiles are stored/saved. If they've made swapping between them reliable from within the CCC or via a CCC keyboard shortcut, that'll be fine...but I haven't had the chance to find out yet.

The Eyefinity dialogues do state that you must use a 1xN or Nx1 layout when mixing resolutions, so no really weird layouts are going to be possible.
