I didnt have any of those issues, sounds driver related. You may fair better with the official Cat version plus the new Firmware, when both are released. |

Well yeah, that's what I figured. And I said it "can" cause issues, not that it will absolutely cause issues with whoever uses it. I do appreciate the fix though, because having Maya, photoshop and the BF2 editor open all at once sucks with anything less than 5040x1050. So while it isn't perfect, I do appreciate it. |

Bit late to the party but nice to see!! Might finally be time to upgrade to a surround gaming mode ;) Wonder how Xfire support will function in this mode with a 2x 4870X2 setup.. |

I installed the new firmware and the 9.7 drivers. 5040x1050 works fine on the desktop, but just like 4320x900, the screen is garbled and unusable in any game I try to play. I do have a 3870x2, so I'm not sure if that's the problem or what. And yes, my monitors(viewsonic vx2235wm) work fine at the specified refresh rate. I guess I'll just have to wait until the 5k series comes out, since the jump from my card to the 4k series isn't much of a jump, if at all. |

I just updated all my matrox software and firmware.. on 9.6 cat im having no issues with 5040x1050 on my 4870X2. Tried Eve online, WoW and Titan Quest - no dramas. If 9.7 is suppose to fix more issues, cant wait. As stated, no custom resolution is needed either, just detects it on boot. |

No problem bud, glad you found the issue. So far with 9.6 the only issue I have encountered is running Vsync in some games causes massive screen corruption - turned off its fine. Although WoW has crashed a few times on me in some areas while flying around. Not sure if thats WoW or the 9.6 driver but hope it gets fixed ;) |
