Anyone doing Eyefinity???

the title says it all?

Anyone using Eyefinity 3?
Have you tried the resolution 5760x1080? (Three 1920x1080 monitors)
Have you tried the resolution 7680x1600? (Three 2560x1600 monitors)

Anyone using Eyefinity 6?
Have you tried the resolution 5760x2160? (Six 1920x1080 monitors)
Have you tried the resolution 7680x3200? (Six 2560x1600 monitors)
(7680x3200, that is sick, I can't even imagine)

If so, what GPU are you using?
Did you have to turn the settings way down?

Are you running full screen to squeeze every last frame you can out of the game?
Are you running full screen because you have a crossfire setup?

I have a 2GB 5870 now and wouldn't even try it...
I would need AT LEAST CF 5870's or 6970s, or single (but still dual GPU) 5970 or 6990
I've actually grown to love all the eye splendor of the game... People have their gripes but the MOB detail is no less than EXEMPLARY...
I constantly find myself zooming in on fights to see how beautiful Raptors, gnats or even Puks look....

If at all possible, I'd like to achieve 5760x1080 (three 1920x1080 monitors) without compromising any texture detail

This game runs like trash CF therefore the 5870 single is better then the 5970 single.

Nice screenshot :D

Thats why i asked if it was full screen or windowed, due to Crossfire concerns
I was under the impression full screen would benefit from crossfire

Here is a screenshot for proof.... http://static.ffxiah.com/images/ffxi...Fvzaw4FvO0.png

This is EXACTLY the type of info and response I was looking for... what were your specs?
You definitely have me deciding against Eyefinity any time soon

I've not tried it myself so my word is in no way law... but I have heard a couple people say full screen (Not windowed with borderless script) would benefit from a multi-GPU setup

That hurts... if you can't Eyefinity with that.... then... /sadface
I guess you could go with a lower resolution and just keep the textures high
What about 1680x1050 (5040x1050), 1600x900 (4800x900) or even 1366x768 (4098x768)?

FFXIV core system sucks wait too ffxiv fix all the issue with GPU and the game before trying to make a setup like this. I'll be waiting 1year from ps3 release before buying a system by then they be better gpu that are cheap and can make a great set up.

Just to let you know, Window mode wont utilize more then on card therefore you have to use full screen but this game just wont run CF ATM... its trash, worse then running full screen on one card.

Using 4870x2, crossfire works pretty good but still needs some loving (and yes I have been testing it since before it worked).

So for me, to run Eyefinity stable, I had to lower it to a point at which the graphics looked unacceptable.

---

Ok... well when they do any improvements to the engine or graphics.. please please please keep us posted on how the Eyefinity performs scales...
Its really an exciting feature that could have me really immersed into the game

I'll post the settings later if I get no crashes.

That sounds promising

No eyefinity here, just using the old 28" LCD computer moniter. I am curious how this game would look on my 73" LED 3D TV though..

I play it sometimes on my 61", and its nice, obviously the smaller the screen, the better 1080 looks though...

Yes, I have been using eyefinity and crossfire. The game is absolutely beautiful using it.

youtube of my setup:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnvMlNnn-tU

I run dual 5870s
i7 sandybridge 2600k
8gb 2133 ocz
60gb ocz ssd

If you want any help with settings or anything let me know.

Thank you... that information is very nice

No Prob.

use 3 monitors if you plan on using 2 GPUs in crossfire., and crossfire on a 5870 helps a LOT IF you use eyefinity.


If you are going to play on 1 screen, crossfire wont help you much. Stick to 1 GPU in this case.

How does that look in town (when there are actualy people playing...) How many FPS do you run?

Yea, I'd be going with 3 Samsung 24" 1920x1080 monitors.... SO I might wanna run with a 5970 or get another 5870 and CF
Screenies look awesome
Do you have the outer 2 monitors angled towards you? Is there a natural angle of the camera in game?

Both are angled toward me, They wouldnt fit on my desk otherwise.

and in town I get 55-60 FPS.

Looks great. very smooth.

55-60 FPS? you only had 40 in the middle of the desert by yourself :p

Have you guys tried using Morphological Anti-Aliasing with your set ups? I'm using it on my GPU and the results are pretty impressive for a mid-range card.

AMD web page about the setting...

Correct.

I get 30-50 in town windowed.
I get 55-60 in town full screen.

2 reasons:

The game simply works better full screen
and crossfire kicks in fullscreen.

Well even 30-50 is pretty good for windowed mode.
