Just Connected 3 Screens
2 X DVI
1 X VGA -DP

Success! :)
Eyefinity Rocks!

what was the resolution that you setup for the vga?

Rig is half finished atm, everything is there, apart from the water, 6 more GB and 1 or 2 more graphics cards (whenever the funds allow me.. got a maxed credit card to pay before the wife finds out :hide )
got the 980x up to 4,6 ghz on too much volts, and stable at 4,5 ~72 celsius

Anyway, i'll drop kabeltje.nl a mail about the monsters tomorrow!

Ha,ha. So your wife doesn't notice the 6 screens then :mrgreen:

Did Kabeltje.nl have the Monster DP-VGA in stock? What did you pay for them?

LMAO, well the screens were free from work.. the CPU was what maxed the CC :D
I wanted to mail Kabeltje, but then i received the ones i ordered @ Eizoshop (which work great btw) so it wasn't neccesary

I believe the flickering is due to crappy VGA cables, cause i haven't had any problems what so ever (either that or they fixed the issues with the EF6 card)

To anyone who uses this converter, get good cables! theyre a must-have for high resolutions on D-Sub

On a side note: ordered the remaining parts of the waterset.. it's gonna rawk!

Good tip: will try "quality" cables to test this.. Could you post the BIOS version of the EF6 card?

all screens are on 1680x1050 - so i think 5040x1050 or somthing :)
at first i had tons of problems with the VGA - i could only go native 1600x1200 but it turned out to be the cable - for some reason i couldnt force it!

but now all is well

Duh.. Even one month older than mine.. (5970).

Will try cable! Just one question, what would be a good cable? Konig? Double shielded?

Hm, if its for one connection, the best money can buy.. i don't know brands, all i know is Eizo gives some great quality ones with monitors.

If you call Eizoshop, maybe they'll have a couple for you.. otherwise i might be able to get one from work for ya :)

tried new cable, still the dp to vga is flickering above 1440x900
