question on video card setup

[snedecor]

Yay, you got it!

Now have fun configuring it (that's the part I like best). It seems like the first time we tried Easy Worship with the new setup, we had to change the settings for Live monitor and Foldback, it somehow got confused.

Glad it all worked out.

I didn't have time last night to setup the 3 monitors but I noticed that what was our monitor 1 and 2 is all different once the display port adapter was plugged in. Did you setup your display port as monitor 1(primary desktop)?

I'm just happy to have 3 monitor active now! It seems like forever since I first tackled the job and very rewarding to know that it works

On my setups i have the DVI as the primary. Then it changes from rig to rig. On one the HDMI is secondary and the Displayport to DVI is 3rd. On another rig it has a Displayport to 3 DVI and i use 2 of the DVI on it as my 2nd and 3rd.

In the Catalyst CC make sure you set up a preset, I call mine EW.i have it assigned to a hot key, cntrl alt F1. This way you can easily switch to the 3 monitor set up.

You always want to use the display port as monitor 1, it is the ATI default monitor and preferred port.

Also, don't forget that hdmi port is tied to a dvi port, you can't use both at the same time.

IMO, I tend to wait on the driver updates from ATI, they are not as stable as nvidia, so I let two or three weeks go by, see of there are any issues, and then update. Always remember a stable driver version, keep it saved, just in case. ATI eyefinity is great, but does have some stability issues.

Thanks for the info. I just got back from the church today, was successful in setting up the monitors and have it all ready for the service tomorrow....looks very impressive with the foldback feature now.

Good idea about the preset in Catalyst CC...I will set that up also. And I do have the DP as monitor one, it just happened once I plugged in the adapter everything switched around so, rather than fight with the machine I gave in and just switched my monitor cables so all is good now
