Display setup with Eyfinity 6
Crosshair problem in FPS games from AnandTech:
Eyefinity 6 was just not made for FPSes. The ideal setup for an FPS would actually be a 5×1 portrait mode, which is currently not supported in AMD’s drivers. AMD is well aware of the limitation and is working on enabling 5×1 at some point in the future.
To reduce the distortion caused by monitors bezels, AMD provides bezel correction support in Catalyst 10.3

Hi all,
I need help.
