I'm still holding out for the 6-port. I really want a 2Gb 6-port card. Even with how cool a new play toy would be to buy today, I'm going to hold out a bit for the better configuration.

I guess I could buy my 2 passive and 1 active adapter now and just wait for the release of the 6-port.

Thanks for the heads up, guys!
Especially:

So it seams Eyefinity Drivers see no difference between my Apple or Bizlink Active DP (mini for apple) to DVI.

So for non US residents:
- get an Apple adaptor, should be available in any Apple store worldwide
- get a female mini dp to male dp adaptor from Circuit Assemby, they ship worldwide.
Think that just lifted a heavy load from a lot of shoulders.

Except the Apple adaptor is, turn quote Kyle from [H], "shit". It BSODed his rig :(

CONGRAS thenjwaslike

I hope mine comes in tomorrow. and it's the same one as yours..
In addition to the price. I'm kinda annoyed that I'm one USB short again and now have to put in the hub again
(just like how I use to had it with the Th2g, darn it)

Anyone interested in the input lag of this device?

Looking at those pictures, there are two kinds of wet in my pants now.

yeah guys this is definitley a new experience, kinda crappy that we have to pay an extra $100+ for an active adapter but its worth it!!

i finally achieved my 3x1 portrait view of 3600x1920 lol - ive always wanted a setup like this, heres a few more pics -

I'm more liable to believe that what BSODed the rig was the 3d engine seeing more height that width in the initial startup. I've encountered that in several games lately with playing with my screens in portrait mode. I've read quite a bit of bad reviews about the Apple adapter though. I'm currently neutral about it until we get someone here with an actual triple-head background to talk about it though.

The trick is to start the game in a standard screen resolution then switch to the portrait resolution. Start the game up in 1280x1024 (or something standard) then apply 3600x1920.

Looks awesome. I have the same screen setup myself at the moment with my 245BW sans the 5870 card though. Reading forums is a breeze with the window orientation like that. What I like most about this is you have the best of both worlds. Can do 3xportrait or 3xlandscape whenever needed.
