Hi guys! at work ive got two of these: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-5570.695.html and i got a motherboard with 2 or 3 pci x16 slots, would it be possible to use three monitors with this setup? mobo: Asus p7h55/USB3 ive tryed to connect a third monitor to one of the cards with the HDMI connector, but it won't work, so i thougth that i should add another card. what do you guys think?
Is crossfire enabled? I stick with Nvidia but I heard if SLI is disabled you can run 3 monitors. Not sure if its the same for ATI Cards.
i haven't tryed to set it up yet, but i dont think the cards support crossfire, so they would just function as 2 separate cards..
okay, i just tryed to install it in the computer, and everything went fine, but when i was trying to access CCC i got a BSOD, and after a reboot a BSOD Again, seems like this computer don't like 2 grapich cards! so i'll just have to live without it!
The cards don't support crossfire. The best thing to do, if you can, is to buy a 6850 (roughly £125 at the moment with 2 free games) and replace the other 2 with it. A single 6850 supports 3 monitors on it's own. If you sold the old cards and the codes to the free games then you won't be out of pocket much. Depends on your work really... EDIT: The 2 cards might not work if your PSU isn't powerful enough, especially as both cards will be drawing their power through the motherboard only.
