Help! Eyefinity with a 5670...

[Red Storm]

Alright, so I've got an XFX 5670 hooked up to three Dell 2009W monitors (20.5" I believe, 1680x1050 res). One monitor is hooked up via DVI, another is connected with a DVI/HDMI cable (to the HDMI port on the card), and the third display is hooked up with an active Sapphire DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI adapter (This one to be exact). In CCC, I am seeing three displays in the display manager, however I can only ever enable two of them at most, not all three.

Any ideas? Oh, and this is running on XP with Cat 10.10 drivers.

Edit: Solution: Eyefinity not supported on XP apparently.

Doh, sorry! Meant to say 5670. Editing title...

The submenu's to enable Eyefinity were present within the Display tab however. In order to find them, it required two things. First of all, you need to click on triangles within the menu that expand the drop down options that you need. Second and most importantly, you need the initiative to recognise that the option "Create Monitor Group" is a logically equivalent command to "Enable Eyefinity". It may seem as though I'm being somewhat particular, but surely one would expect such a major feature to be easily accessible and under it's widely known marketing name? Figures.

Thanks, I had that AMD site opened and was looking through it, but my CCC is different because this PC is running XP I take it. Eyefinity does work with XP right? I don't remember reading anything that said it didn't. To Google I go...

Edit: Yep, no Eyefinity support on XP. Figures. Oh well, time to upgrade this machine then.

I was wondering that myself. Thanks for the info. I can't understand why they wouldn'y support XP ,its a very popular operating system.

Well anyway, you will love windows 7, I do. Good luck.:thumbsup:

Oh I do love Windows 7. I'm already running Eyefinity on my own PC. This one with the 5670 is my brother's, who pretty much only plays Eve Online. It's about time he upgraded anyhow.
