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.
