    Default trying to run FSX with 3 monitors

    I am running a i7 2600 with W7 a 6850 xfx 1g card and 8g ddr3 ram. 750w pwr supply
    I have been trying to run fsx with the new 3 monitors but it keeps locking up to a white almost ghost image on all 3 screens, i have 4 views open on 3 monitors, it runs great when im my one monitor , I do run the 3 in eyefinity mode .

    ive uninstalled and reinstalled and updated all drivers for fsx,Vcard,
    i hear from people i should have a 2g card ????
    would really love to get this working ,I see all these YouTube guys with really cool FSX set ups
    any this I should turn off (other than other programs ) or turn on or install to help
    when it locks up it does a small spinning think like its trying to do something and then I get the Fatal Errror msg from FSX
    Thanks

    I know it's not working for you but how did you get your ATI card to recognize 3 monitors? I have a XFX 6870 and the max I've been able to get is two. I've tried using two on DVI and one on HDMI and no bueno. Honestly I haven't researched it much but i was just curious how you got it to work easily. I use Eyefinity also. Now my question is are you using Eyefinity and spanning the game screen across all three or are your other screens blank and you're doing that "copy view" or "new view" or whatever it's called? Take care.....

    Many ATI cards can only support two DVI/HDMI connections at once. For 3 monitors you usually need to have one hooked up using DisplayPort.
