    What desk mount is that exactly? I think I might buy one.

        Planning on selling that 6990 anytime soon?

          I'll sell my 6970's when the 7970's come out

          I do plan on going tri-fire immediately when the new cards come out (if I can walk away with 3 under 1200 or so). DFWMustangs hook up too my friend

            Not sure on the max thickness. Ill measure when i get home though. I dont think 2.5" is a problem.

              That sounds good to me buddy, I'll take them if it's reasonable for me How exactly do you hook up 3 screens on two cards? Crossfire them and then have two on one, and one on the other.

              • nope they all hook up to the top card. You need at least one to be a display port plug though so you may need an adapter. All three of my screens are display port and plugged into the same card.

                here is what the back of an eyefinity card looks like. You can see all the ports they offer. (**EDIT** thats actually a 6990 card, some of the other cards have 2 dvi ports and less displayports)

                  yeah you bastard!
                  I wish my 6970's had more DP ports.

                  mine only have 2 dvi + 2 mini-dp.

                    Okay so your primary must be on the DVI, I assume because HDMI requires some driver to operate, so during post only your primary screen functions. I've never even owned an AMD/ATi card so this is all new to me.

                    • not really, as far as I know.
                      when I had "just" my 3008 connected. it was via dp.
                      when I got the other screens connected to it, i moved it to dvi.
                      During Post you'll get double bios's, when I post; i get video on my main (3008) and on the left most screen of my eyefinity setup.

                        Sounds like I need to get some more screens also. Can't wait until I have to purchase 3 fucking screens. It would be pretty damn baller to get 3 of those Planar 30" screens - they are 1080p so I'd guess that would be 5760x1080?

                        • All three on mine are mini display port, I dont use the DVI port. When my pc boots up my side screens show the post screens and my center stay blank untill I get to the desktop. No drivers needed either.

                            yup
                            that's not bezel corrected though, so bezel correct it might be bigger.

                              Watch out with the 3 screens. I got Acer 24" screens and I love them but they are almost too big. In landscape I have to look at my far right for the time and far left for the windows icon. In portrait mode Im looking up and down alot. 24" is more than enough. They were $179 each also.
