[H]ard|OCP has been a huge fan of the latest line of AMD Radeon graphics cards, and they have especially been fond of Eyefinity. However, not everything is perfect with the Radeon graphics cards, and [H]ard|OCP writes an editorial about these issues. In particular, there are two things that AMD is working to correct.
- Some users have problems with 3-screen Eyefinity when using dongles
- Some users report a Grey Screen of Death with the latest Radeon card.
Another issue, but one that is not AMD’s problem, is the question of when Samsung’s thin bezel LCDs will come to market, and how much they will cost. [H]ard|OCP’s editorial addresses all three topics. From the editorial:
The current “dongle problem” is such. Some users have issues with the dongle-attached display blinking on and off. We tested with three 30″ DVI panels back in October without issue. If you are one of the unlucky ones to have the problem here is some information about it.
The main cause of the issue seems to be USB powered dongles that are not getting enough power from its USB power source.
From reading the editorial, it looks like AMD is working hard to take of the two items that it has control over. AMD has released a list of dongles that are guaranteed to work, and the latest 10.2 drivers should take card of the Grey Screen of Death for most users, though there may be some that still are having problems.
