3 Monitor Setup...

[JLambert97]

I have been looking in to this for a while but I have never really had the time to play with it due to work and other life commitments. I am trying to see if I can use 3 monitors by combining by ATI AMD Radeon HD 6670 and the on board graphics from my Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3.

 

I was partially succesful when I got the 3 monitor setup to work but the only problem is that If i try to do anything that uses graphics (i.e games) I can't...

 

 

Any help/advice is much appreciated, Thanks in advance

I think you're on to a loser trying to achieve that. You have a big capability gulf between your onboard graphics (HD3000) and discrete. Hybrid Crossfire does work with those boards, but only with HD3000 series cards (I think). The fact that you got a three screen desktop working is impressive enough, but for gaming you're going to need a card with the power and outputs to run three screens - the 6670 is not that card!

I've been meaning to upgrade for a while but I've never got round to spending the money, I'm trying to save so finding it hard to spend the cash

What monitors are you running, and what games do you like playing across all three? That can help to spec you something with the power to do it.

I only play games on one monitor. I use the other 2 for things like e-mail, browsing, movies and stuff whilst I game.

 

I tend to play older games on PC that don't require too much power....

 

The two monitors I'm running at the moment are SMB2430L and SMB2430H

 

I'm trying to add the I2367FM to my setup.

You'll need an Eyefinity supporting card to ensure that you can output to three screens at once, so it does depend on what outputs your current card has (needs to have HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort) as to whether it's possible. Some permutations of the card may not allow it due to the outputs installed (if it has VGA, it can't).
