AMD today released the first hotfix update to the recently released
Catalyst 10.12 driver suite. A hotfix is an interim update before the next driver release. The new hotfix introduces two important things: first, it adds official support for the newly-released AMD Radeon HD 6970 and AMD Radeon HD 6950 graphics cards; and second, it adds a new Eyefinity mode that lets you use all five display outputs on the HD 6000 series graphics cards (i.e. two DVI, two mini-DP, one HDMI) for a 5 x 1 Eyefinity configuration.

because:
1. driver posted "AS IS" cannot be pointed as "official support"
2. support for 5x1 Eyefinity also pointed to HD5xxx series
3. and MAIN - that lets you use all five display outputs on the HD 6000 series graphics cards (i.e. two DVI, two mini-DP, one HDMI) for a 5 x 1 Eyefinity configuration - this whole fake!!!!
Everything okay?
but there support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1012ahotfix.aspx
1. Note! This hotfix is provided “AS IS” in accordance with the End User License Agreement. - this not mean "official support"!
2. •Includes support for 5x1 AMD Eyefinity display configurations - this for ALL Radeon series that support Eyefinity - HD5xxx and HD6xxx? espesially for HD5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition and HD5870 Eyefinity 5 Edition!!!!!
3. all five outputs NOT WORK in Eyefinity configuration!!!!! work only two from three DVI-I,DVI-D, HDMI!!!

support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/gpu50-ati-eyefinity-display-configs.aspx
5 Monitors
*Currently Not Supported*
now, after Catalyst 10.12a hotfix Eyefinity 5x1 supported, but this NOT MEAN that we can use for Eyefinity all five outputs!
www.amd.com/us/Documents/AMD_Radeon_Display_WP_20101206.pdf
he mentions how 'all 5 ports can be used!' when most 5K cards only have 4 XD
you can use any port on the card, just not all at once (HDMI+DVI) - but you can reach multiple monitors if you use display port
how long fake infomation will be present in this news?
1. anybody NEVER use ALL FIVE display outputs for Eyefinity 5x1 on HD6000!
2. Eyefinity 5x1 for now support ONLY 10.12a hotfix
news and 10.12a hotfix actual for today!
3. this news reprint other sites that trust techpowerup like "source"
Protip: email AMD because that's where this site got the news from.

Oh sorry just mindlessly repeating myself regardless of anyone else paying attention!
Don't mind me.
Anyway, he seems to be permabanned now, so that's the end of it.
