Should be fine to play on one monitor, or browse on 3

These need beefy GPU's?

Think I've got a 560TI Nvidia

Attaching a few Screen caps of my 560ti with Battlefield on medium and ultra (40MB zip) Clicky Here!

Being perfectly honest there's not a whole lot of difference besides shadows and the rendering of some far off objects in the difference between medium and ultra at this resolution.
I keep mine on medium and its a constant 60-70 fps.

All that being said I'm still looking into getting a 680

its the same guy doing the tutorials, but I don't understand what's the point.

Because now OCN

1. can't stop them linking to ebay
2. can't delete video links because they have swearing in them
3. can't try to muscle in on group buys

Hi Everyone,

Considering buying one of the Crossover Monitors could I tap into the vast wealth of knowledge here and ask what type of cable would I need to connect on of these monitors to a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5970, by that I mean what variant of dvi cable ? Many thanks.

You need a dual link DVI cable which will come with the monitor...

Tea_Bag

according to this pic, your GPU is unsupported

im not sure how accurate that is, or why it wouldnt be supported. my 6990 is a similar beast to yours, and its fine.

peneau

Thanks TB, agreed I can't see why it's listed as unsupported as my 5970 has the same DVI output as your 6990 might take a chance, whaddya think oh and what cable type are you using ?

Tea_Bag

If it doesn't work off dvi, what's stopping it from working off a DP to dvi adapter? you likely got one with your gpu too.

I cant find much info on people doing eyefinity, but I know some people do, and thats the only way you can do it anyway.

peneau

Thanks again TB, think I'll go ahead and order one of the Crossovers

Tea_Bag

If you've any interest in OCing it, the catleap is the one to go for.

Have really never been brave enough to go down the OCing route

It's ocing a monitor so its a whole different beast. Also it might be worth your while getting the cheaper catleap and buying an after market stand.

peneau

Thanks FF, I'm reviewing the situation .......:D

Works fine on a 5850.

Looks like some version of this has landed on adverts...

Saw that myself earlier, was going to ask about the exact model and make, but then I remembered I haven't the money for anything like that :P

Brian

The Hazro was the flavour of the month before the Korean monitors came along. Probably uses the same panel but it's €100 more expensive.

Can you wall mount the monitor folks?

You certainly can, it uses a standard bracket AFAIK. Finding a mount to hold 3 of these would be amazing

A pic of the delivery we got at the house this morning:D

We'll put up a vid of these running 3 screen eyefinity tonight/tommorrow depending on how good tea and I can get trifire to work:D

Just another update from someone else who used FedEx.... got a letter from them this morning look for €26 import duty and administration charges.
Brings my total up to €310, still a great price for what you get though!

Looks like a sweet monitor, and a steal at the price. Question for you guys on the size though, how do you find 27", is it too big or just right, how far back do you need to sit ?

I know its probably ideal for a FPS (maybe needs some FOV adjustment though ?), but I find even with a 22" at a meter that I can have trouble keeping track of things in mmos/strategy games, as I focus on one section of the screen, and can miss stuff on the minimap or the odd health bar in other sections. Some times its almost a relief to switch to a 15" screen on a laptop as every thing is in your central vision with little or no eye movement required.

I find it fine with BF3. the size doesn't hinder me much hitting long range targets is alot easier

Havent played any SC2 but ill let ye know how i find it

I assume the monitor stand supplied don't support portrait position?

No it only swivels and tilts(slightly)

As soon as I find a job I'm getting one of these bad boys.

Thinking of buying one of these or the Achieva one. Does the catleap have a VESA mount? I think I read somewhere that it didn't?

What happens if you run a game on a lower than native resolution? Considering there is no scaling board does it just run at that resolution with black bars around it? Only game from time to time w/ a 6870 and wouldn't fancy playing games surrounded by black bars.
