Its still playable at that res too.. the FPS was well into 20-30 on full detail!

And the reason why i really wanted it:

Havent had any problems with flickering screens etc.. maybe its the card, or the cables i'm using (the cables are very fat shielded VGA cables)

Anyway, a DEFINITIVE YES that mini display port / display port can support ALL DP>VGA adapters!

Hey guys.

I've been reading this thread a few hours now, and I've read every post/page. My summary is;

The DP to VGA Adapter does work however the results are on/off for some people.

I want to run a 23" Samsung P2350 in the center with the DP to VGA, then on the left and right a Samsung 21.5" P2250. All screens have a native resolution of 1920x1080 however I don't want to go shell out 190 bucks for my final P2250 and find it doesn't work.

Based on everyones experiences in this thread, should I be confident I will have no problems?

looks like nothing is certain in life :)

i wouldn't say 100% sure - since i didn't try it yet - but as everyone here is doing - first at least try to buy a vga->dp - if it doesnt work - no biggie - you wasted 10-15$...much better then shelling out 100$ for an active dvi->dp or 200$ for a new screen :)

no one is going to give you 100% confidence that this is going to work - but as the forum looks its definitely 80%

thats just my 2 cents , hope i helped ya.

Thanks m0tek. I am pretty confident, and like you said, it's only 10-15 bucks.

So far, two of us here are using the DP->VGA passive adapter made by Monster. It's a bit more costly than the other adapters BUT...it IS working without problems in Eyefinity for us. Hour after hour of trouble-free/flicker-free bliss!

As for any other trouble you might have: I'm a bit concerned as to whether you'll be able to use the Bezel Compensation with the combination of screens you have in mind. Although they have the same native resolution, if I'm understanding the tech reports from ATI, the Bezel Compensation also takes into consideration the actual screen size. Others here would be better able to address this and I hope they can. I just know that, with a Chimei 22 inch and two ViewSonic 24 inch displays, I could NOT get Bezel Comp to work. All had 16:9 ratio and I tried several options to get it to work around the problem. There is, however, another thread here about editing the EDID of the monitors to get it to work.

Good luck!

Hi I am using bytecc dp to vga adaptor, my samsung 2333hd tv/monitor, is 2333HD's 16:9 aspect ratio display supports a "Full HD" 1,920x1,080-pixel native resolution.
But if I setup the resolution above 1280x960 flicks so much that is unusable
Does anybody knows how I could correct it?
thanks
