What are the needed components and how to do set up AMD Eyefinity?

Jim Friel

I have a ATI Sapphire 6970 graphics card and a 23" LED LG monitor right now. I was thinking of buying two additional monitors and running eyefinity. I am new to this and need some information.
Also do you know what games can run in eyefinity (mostly want to know if world of warcraft and dragon age II will). Thank you.

heres a list of the supported games.

both those games are supported.


for eyefinity two of your monitors can be hooked up to the dvi or hdmi ports on your 6970. the other has to be hooked up to the mini displayport, if its a native minidisplayport, or you need an active adapter to connect it.

How do use 3 monitors on one computer?

Justin

I want to be able to drag things into the other monitors, with my mouse floating through all 3 as if it were a single screen.

How do I do this?
I have windows XP

Answer
The easiest way to drive three monitors independently is with a video card that supports three monitors, like one of the DisplayPort-equipped ATI Radeon HD5000-series of cards.

I have a Radeon HD5870, and I am running a triple monitor setup on it. The third monitor is required to have a DisplayPort jack for that to work though. (I got 2 DVI and 1 DisplayPort monitor).

The middle monitor is my main desktop, with the two side monitors as extended desktops. For games that support Eyefinity, I can also span the game screen over all three monitors.

Not sure if ATI still offers XP support for newer cards like the HD5000 series though.
