As for BF3 and Crysis 2? Neither are CPU bound and rely HEAVILY on GPU horsepower esp. at 2560X1600...

To answer your question on whether you can Eyefinity? YES...

i asked wether i could use this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DisplayPort-Display-port-DP-DVI-Female-Adapter-Cable-/260691592031?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb26e035f#ht_2908wt_1139 for eyefinity

This is straight from the AMD setu FAQ


'You can connect up to two non-DisplayPort monitors at one time to an AMD Eyefinity technology-enabled graphics card using non-DisplayPort connections or passive DisplayPort dongles. To enable and drive 3 or more non-DisplayPort monitors at one time, the additional non-DisplayPort monitors must be connected with an active DisplayPort dongle.'

The answer depends on whether or not any of those monitors have a display port.

I assume you're going to be using DVI to the monitors right? Like the following image illustrates~

...If so then yes it'll work.

I think you'll be fine... it's 7 bucks so it's not much of a risk. You can always ask the seller a question... brand would be nice I can't seem to find it. From the looks it appears to be a bizlink.

thanks again ,i asked the seller so i just have to wait .
