Rotated Eyefinity Support for AMD Radeon™ R9 285 - Enables a mix of portrait and landscape oriented displays Source: http://videocardz.com/54128/amd-announc ... resolution So AMD is finally bringing PLP support to Eyefinity after many years of waiting & begging, according to the slides that were leaked, but only to the 285 series. Now I'm both excited and mad at the same time because its nice that we are finally getting PLP support but why its only limited to that one lousy card which can barely run solitaire. My 2x290X are left to eat the dirt with my 20|30|20 PLP setup so I'm pretty mad at the moment. Btw, those drivers should be released on monday, according to the leaks. |

 Rotated Eyefinity Support for AMD Radeon™ R9 285 Enables a mix of portrait and landscape oriented displays i wonder why only on R9 285 models... they are somewhat newer than the 290X, so the 380X which might release in February will also have this Feature? Also this slide is something nice: 24 Displays Eyefinity

Well, AMD has been using a hardware scaler for eyefinity in GPU's since the 5000 series. The scaler had only been able to slice the rendered image. Rotation was done before hitting the scaler, hence orientation needed to be the same across the board. I assume this means that they have finally created a new scaler that can slice and the reorient those slices separately, which is awesome. I'd also assume that this scaler will be part of the new architecture from now on. EDIT: It doesn't say "Mixed Orientation Eyefintiy" it says "Rotated Eyefinity Support" in which doesn't really say anything. I don't have a 285 to test, but maybe it couldn't do Portrait mode eyefinity until this driver. :P That would suck, but I'm not holding my breath. |

These drivers are real exciting to me. Surround support has been completely broken for me since April. I finally got sick of it and decided to crossfire some 290x's. They will arrive on Wednesday. These drivers make me very excited that I switched camps. |

Finally Eyefinity PLP support. My setup is 19/27/19 & pretty lightweight. One of these cards will be perfect for me. It will make gaming far easier. Assuming it works. I will have r9 285 Friday. Will come back & report on its support of PLP. Reviews (guru etc) so far have said nothing about PLP support, which is just... stupid. It is a huge new thing, how can they not cover it? |

If it works well this could be the start for PLP in the masses. btw. Drivers released: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd ... nload.html |
