    2 monitor and hdtv problem

    Hey all,

    I just got my 6950 graphics card. Fitted it and plugged all the wires in.

    I can get it to output to my 2 monitors fine but it wont output to my hdtv at the same time. Is it possible?

    How are all three displays currently connected to the card? With the ATI cards you can setup Eyefinity (3 or more displays), but one of the monitors needs to be connected to the Display Port on the card. Therefore, either 2 x DVI and DP, or DVI, HDMI and DP. You cannot use 2 x DVI and HDMI (is that what you are currently trying to use?).

    Re: 2 monitor and hdtv problem

    Just taken a quick look at the Eyefinity FAQs and it says:

    "All monitors running in a Display Group or cloned modes must be running with the same resolution. If monitors have different native resolutions, the highest common non-native resolution between the monitors will be used when creating Display Groups. Monitors running in extended desktop mode can have independent resolutions."

    Hope that helps.
