Hi All:
I'm working on a project where I want to get at least 9 30" (maybe 27") displays working on a new Mac Pro. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a Mac Pro to use that many displays?
I think the most you can do from Apple is 6 via two ATI 5770 or 5780 display cards (3 displayports per card).
To make this work though, I think I would need to use either the ATI 5770 Eyefinity (supports 5 displays) or the ATI 5870 Eyefinity (supports 6 displays). Unfortunately there is no Apple blessed version of this card.
However, I'm aware that there has been some success flashing non-apple blessed ATI 5X70 cards (at least that are close to the reference design). In following the threads in the forums, I've seen success with cards supporting 3 displayports like the apple/reference design.
Has anyone tried/succeeded in flashing the Eyefinity versions of the card like this single slot version and do all (5 of) the displayports work?
