eyefinity

Can i use for 3 screens the following configuration.


DL-DVI / DL-DVI / and a convertercable HDMI to Display port. It is for using 3 displays.

or


DL-DVI / VGA / and convertercable HDMI to Display port.


Im asking since i cannot find a screen with a display port for an acceptable price.





i found this myself but it is for DVI,



then i have to have a active display port converter for dvi. But do i also need this for HDMI ?

using a HD 5830 form HIS
 
the video portion of HDMI is exactly the same as for DVI.

Looking at the video, if you get a DVI to HDMI cable to run from the mini display converter (DVI) to the monitor/tv (HDMI) you should be fine.

thtat it means i have to get me a active display port since i already have two dvi monitors attached to my video card.

Was hoping HDMI and display port could be attached directly with only a cable connector. That means that ATI is providing an expensive card and that you have to invest a lot more to have all the benifits from the eyefinity.

Now im goiing to look for a active display port. (meaning it use its own power supply) and look for a display. then reconsider whats cheap or most likely the one which is best for my other displays. (otherwise it will be messy with all kind of displays).


Keep you informed.
 
Martin,

i ordered the cable at the given link. (most cables are sold out on some shops, i wonder why)


So hope to receive it this week and then start the test. 2 screens are good but in race07 the steering wheel in cockpit view stays in the middle so with 2 screens there are the side's from the displays.


Anyway this solution saves a lot of money.
 
Martin you are gonna save me 60 quid if that works. I already bought the active display port in preparation for the card when I buy it(£80). All me screens have vga input and DVI. So basically just rob that dongle for 20 quid online and sale the active display port?
 
After some test with Race 07 i decided to change my cables.

Reason was that i got sometimes one black screen, luckely not the main screeen.

Used HDMI/DVI/and the converter to VGA.


Now im using HDMI/HDMI/ and the converter to VGA. until now no black screens yet.
 
After update cccleaner, it seems that windows 7 lost its configuration. So it cannot see all screens.

When unplugging and plugging in one screen everything went okay again.


Anyone have the same problems?
