Ahh, ok. Looks like a nice feature to have. I'll look forward when it's released for Eyefinity.

Very good review Ibrin, I will echo what everyone else has said. I think personally that (although, you could call me an ATi fanboy in the pixel pushing department), interacting with the community is fantastic.

As we've stated, bezel mangement is being developed and will be in an upcoming driver.

Very happy to read this :mrgreen:
I've stripped my screens and they are really slim now (11 mm. bezel).
I hope B.M. comes soon so there will be no need to tuck them any more.
You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up.
Cheers and happy holidays!

Coming into this late I'm seeing lots of conflicting information, so I'd like to verify something. In the ATI HD 5870 review here on the site it says:

Unfortunately ATI was not able to implement support for custom resolutions (needed for 5040x1050) in the Catalyst software for the Radeon 5800. In speaking with our ATI rep, both the hardware and software were built new from the ground up. It wasn't an issue of carrying over an existing feature in a "software" upgrade, but in prioritizing resources within the new Catalyst build. You can utilize the TH2Go up to 3840x1024, but not on higher resolutions. Thus, the Radeon 5870 is not a valid upgrade path for most TH2Go users.


Is it still true today that an ATI 5870 HD cannot run at 4320x900 in Windows 7 with a TripleHead2Go? I just ordered a new system with a 5870 in it and I'm going to be very unhappy if I have to choose between triplehead gaming and using my 4th monitor. From what I understand from the article, the 5870 supports using 3 monitors at 4320x900 via Eyefinity but no way to connect my 4th monitor (only 3 outputs may be used at once) and it does not support using my TH2G at 4320x900 with a 4th monitor connected to the 2nd DVI output as I do right now with my 4870.

Is this true? Here is a blurry pic of my setup for reference:

Tallon29: You have to use a EDID Mask to get Custom Resolutions to Work Properly. Only put the Resolution you want to use and make sure that the Triplehead2go can display it as well.
