Title: Question for Eyefinity.
Post by: dribbler on Wed, 23 February 2011, 09:28:16
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.

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