[Mr. Strawberry]

so this 5770 alows you to use eyefinity without the use of the display port
pretty cool :D

Why a 5770? :\ 5850 atleast, would make sense...

[Mr. Strawberry]

i was thinking the same when i saw it :/

I might go back to Eyefinity in the 68XX series actually, I just need two identical monitors, I couldn't stand the colour difference from the BenQ's and my Dell.
Although I don't understand the point of this card, given that people could just a 15 pound DP to HDMI or DP to VGA convertor to use Eyefinity without a DP monitor.

Interestingly, to quote from the actual page you linked us to Steven;

*To support 3 displays, one of the monitors has to support DisplayPort
Fail Sapphire?

[Mr. Strawberry]

where does it say that?

[Mr. Strawberry]

oh yeah i was expecting it to be at the bottom of the page
i think it is because they reused the graphics and forgot to edit that out

[NickCPC]

Considering it is the unique selling point of the card, you might have thought the marketing dufus who put the page up might have checked it out...

[Mr. Strawberry]

well that is what comon sense would say but this is sapphire
they did design a card for OC'ing and never put a voltage chip on so you couldnt OC it very well or in some cases not at all

[redrooster303]

it says it can support 4 monitor eyefinity, so it might mean if your using four it has to run 3 with dvi and one with the dp, or you can have just 3 eyefinity without the dp. who knows.

edit: scratch that i was looking at the other eyefinity bit and didn't notice the huge red outline you'd put on the bit you were on about, doh!
