You stole my line dammit!

I'm staying on 10.10e until I build a new system or get a new GPU.

That's old news, ATI's drivers have if any as many issues as NVIDIA drivers. Both have equal issues in other words...

DigitalUK · Dec 30, 2010

for the 6970 these are better scored an extra 300 points in 3dmark11 from 10.12

so if this driver will make my HD 6870 use DVI+DVI+HDMI configuration? without any DP?

I don't think so, I think it means 5x1 via daisy chaining DP monitors together. I think the same limitations of regular Eyefinity apply, in that you will always require at least one DP connection because of the signal clocks.

AndreyPopov · Jan 10, 2011

this news is GREAT FAKE!!!!!

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!!!!

I'm pretty sure Catalyst 10.12a actually did come out.

Everything okay?

uhhh... displayport can allow more than one monitor per connector.

AndreyPopov · Jan 11, 2011

read carefully!!!

outputs and monitors (displays) - in news says that all five outputs can be used for Eyefinity - these FAKE!

all five outputs NOT work in Eyefnity!
work only two from three DVI-I,DVI-D, HDMI!!!

http://www.hisdigital.com/UserFiles/product/AMD_Radeon_HD_6850_6870_ENU.pdf
Table 4–2 Sample Display Configurations

Eyefinity 5x1 previously not supported even on HD5870 Eyefinity Edition:
http://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!

crazyeyesreaper · Jan 11, 2011

and the mod just friggin answered you jackass Display port at least the new revision that is on the 6900 series which is pretty much what these drivers are for allows more then 1 monitor per Display port connector no one gives 2 shits about the 5870 eyefinity edition so your blowing smoke up the wrong assholes to be blunt. The card didnt offer anything in terms of extra performance nor could they run anything at that high a resolution across 6 monitors and tada if you are running that many monitors your probably gonna have more then 1 damn gpu which means OMG it works.

Mussels · Jan 11, 2011

of course he's not going to pay any attention.

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

TAViX · Jan 11, 2011

btw, is there any other driver except 10.10e that have MLAA for 5xxx series??!?

You can mod 10.12 also, like a few of us have done with CCC2.

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.

is fake!

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!

I think he must suffer some sort of anxiety issues. I mean, shit, it just doesn't matter either way, does it? :wtf:

And if it did, you just don't go about it this way.

Anyway, he seems to be permabanned now, so that's the end of it.
