Hello there!

Recently i've got a new monitor (Philips Blade 23" 1080p Full HD)

And i've been wondering: Is it possible to run EyeFinity with 2 of these monitors (not 2 more, just 2)

So that instead of 1920 x 1080 it would be 3840 x 1080?

(My graphic card only has HDMI, DVI and that blue output thing)

Thank you alot!

Short answer to : yes — two 1920×1080 panels can be presented to the OS as a single 3840×1080 desktop. AMD Eyefinity can group “two or more displays” into a Single Large Surface (SLS) so Windows and games see one wide display instead of two separate ones; that grouping is created in the AMD driver software (Catalyst / AMD Software). ()

Clarifying ’s point: each physical monitor’s native maximum is still 1920×1080, so you’re not magically increasing per-monitor pixel density — you’re stitching two displays together to get a combined desktop 3840×1080. Check the exact outputs on your HD 5750 board first: reference/typical HD5750 cards include DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort but some vendor cards swap ports (some even expose VGA). If your card only exposes two legacy ports (DVI/HDMI/VGA) you can run two monitors fine; to add a third non‑DP monitor you’ll need a native DisplayPort output or an active DisplayPort->DVI/HDMI adapter (passive dongles won’t enable more than two legacy displays). (techpowerup.com)

How to set it up: update to the latest AMD drivers, enable extended desktop in Windows, open AMD Software / Catalyst Control Center and use the Eyefinity / “Create Display Group” (Quick Setup) wizard — pick a 2×1 layout, confirm the order, then save the group. If the wizard won’t create a group, double‑check which connector each monitor is on, try different ports/cables, and confirm whether your card has a DisplayPort that you can use or that you may need an active adapter. ()

Notes and cautions: many games handle ultrawide / multi‑monitor resolutions differently (check compatibility lists) and bezel compensation may be useful; also the HD5750 is an older 1GB/128‑bit card, so expect heavy performance cost when gaming at 3840×1080 — upgrading the GPU is the simplest way to get smooth full‑screen results.

Maximum Resolution is only 1920 x 1080,you cant make it double that just by adding a second monitor, to the best of my knowledge anyway
it will be possible to run 2 monitors ,and the blue output thing is VGA

Should be possible getting width up to double, using the EyeFinity technology

i never heard of EyeFinity technology,sorry


edit : read a little bit and it will actually Support up to six independent display outputs simultaneously with a single GPU.

I know that it is possible, i simply dont know how.
