Hi all,
I am not really a techie so hoping for a bit of help here from you guys, I am setting up a new system for my brother who is a retiring Veteran. As my
gift to him I have decided to buy him a new rig from OriginPC as well as setting up a 3 monitor Eyefinity system for him.
I will be buying 3 new monitors for the Eyefinity and was wondering what I need to set this up.
I would like to know if it is possible to have the 3 monitors daisy-chained to 1 Display port cable instead of using 2 DVIs and 1 display port cable.
Can this be done?
If so what hardware will I need?
Does anyone recomend some decently priced monitors and what do I need to plug the 3 display port connectors into 1 display port connection on the
grpahics card?
The system has 2 AMD ATi Radeon CrossfireX 5870s - sapphire model
Any help would be greatly appreiciated.
Thank you very much.

This is a good site for Eyefinity info...

Good Luck! I've never heard of hooking them up that way. It may not be possible.
