    Bet not, it doesn't qualify in the mobile platform and would get owned in the desktop side because of extreme cooling :p

    If you have 6970/6990M you will not have Dual Link with DVI (2560x1440/1600). Only the GTX has a possibility.

    Using both DVI (DVI to HDMI adapter) and HDMI port, I use Eyefinity. I wouldn't recommend it for FPS games, since every monitor you attach takes away 33% of your overall performance. However, with a high end mobile GPU, RTSs and RPGs are really enjoyable on ultra settings and in 3840x1080.

    I use a single DVI to HDMI adapter and it runs fine.

    Hahha, seems other NBR memebers are participating. I may go broke attempting to compete. Now only if I could get around these locked Bios and OC my processor!

    I'm having issues with XTU and SiSoftware, whenever I have any non-standard configuration underclocking/overclocking/disabling eist/loosening or tightening memory settings results in an immediate shutdown.

    It can't be stability issues as I've run Prime95/wprime/OCCT/FurMark/EVEREST overnight tests on high overclocks and never ran into any issues. This is severely holding back my cpu/mem scores.

    I had a similar problem, where whenever i changed things in bios Sandra needed to be re-installed.
    Try that. Make and apply your XTU changes and run the Sandra installer again. :)

    I just uninstalled, rebooted, set up xtu, rebooted, installed Sandra, rebooted but it rebooted incorrectly after installing Sandra and erased all XTU settings. But if I don't install Sandra all settings are fine and stable.

    Must be some icky bug going on with SiSandra and XTU.
