How do i set up my multi-monitor “Eyefinity” configuration?

  • Updated

  1. Before you begin setting up your AMD Eyefinity display group, ensure that your monitors are connected and configured in Windows Display Settings as desired.

    Note: AMD Eyefinity technology allows two or more displays to be combined into a single large desktop. The total desktop resolution increases with each display added to the group.

    Step-by-Step Guide:

    1. Prepare Your System:

      • Turn off your computer completely. It's recommended to disconnect the power cable for safety.

    2. Install Your Graphics Card:

      • Ensure your graphics card is securely seated in the PCIe x16 slot.
      • Connect any necessary external power connectors from your power supply to the graphics card.

    3. Initial Setup:

      • Power on your computer and let it boot into Windows. Avoid entering the BIOS at this stage.

    4. Open AMD Radeon Settings:

      • Right-click on your desktop and select "AMD Radeon Settings".

    5. Navigate to Eyefinity:

      • Click on "Eyefinity" within AMD Radeon Settings.

    6. Use Quick Setup:

      • Click on "Quick Setup" to automatically create an AMD Eyefinity display group based on your current Windows Display Settings setup.

    7. Confirm Display Arrangement:

      • After Quick Setup completes, verify that your displays are arranged correctly in the AMD Eyefinity display group.
      • If necessary, use the "Arrange Displays" option to adjust the position of each display within the group.

    8. Advanced Setup (Optional):

      • To customize your AMD Eyefinity display group further, click on "Try Advanced Setup".
      • This will open Radeon Additional Settings, where you can access options like:
        • Set Preferred Display
        • Position Windows Taskbar
        • Arrange Eyefinity Display Group
        • Resize Desktop
        • Customize Eyefinity Desktop Resolution
        • Adjust Bezel Compensation

    9. Configure Preferred Display:

      • Set the preferred display for applications that do not support AMD Eyefinity mode.
      • Navigate to "Set Preferred Display" in Radeon Additional Settings, choose the desired display, and click "Apply".

    10. Position Windows Taskbar:

      • Adjust the Windows Taskbar to display on a single monitor if needed.
      • Check the box for "Position the Windows Taskbar on a single display" and follow the on-screen instructions.

    11. Arrange Eyefinity Display Group:

      • If the mouse cursor does not move across displays in the expected order, use "Arrange Eyefinity Display Group" to correct the display positions.
      • Follow the on-screen guide to ensure each display is correctly placed within the grid representation.

    12. Resize Desktop:

      • Choose a desktop resizing option (Fill, Fit, or Expand) based on your preferences and display resolutions.
      • Adjust how the desktop image spans across all displays to avoid stretching or cropping issues.

    13. Customize Desktop Resolution:

      • If using the "Fill" option, customize the desktop resolution using the "Customize Eyefinity Desktop Resolution" feature.
      • Select a resolution from the available options in the drop-down menu and click "Apply".

    14. Adjust Bezel Compensation:

      • Use "Adjust Bezel Compensation" to fine-tune the alignment of images across displays, especially where bezels may interrupt the visual continuity.
      • Follow the instructions to align the image seamlessly across adjacent displays.

    15. Troubleshoot Screen Artifacts and Visual Distortion:

      • If you notice artifacts or visual distortion:
        • Reseat the graphics card in the PCIe slot.
        • Check all monitor cables and connections.
        • Test with alternate cables, monitors, or graphics cards if available.
        • Reinstall the graphics driver to ensure it's correctly configured.

    16. Disable Eyefinity Display Group:

      • To revert to your original display configuration set in Windows Display Settings, use the "Disable Eyefinity Display Group" option.
      • Select it from Radeon Additional Settings and click "Apply".

    17. Finalize and Close:

      • Once you're satisfied with your AMD Eyefinity display setup, close Radeon Additional Settings.
      • Your AMD Eyefinity display group is now configured according to your preferences.
