    Hi,

    Win 7 x64
    AMD rx480 8gb
    17.3.1 drivers (cleaned with DDU safe mode before installing)
    16gb ram
    i7 860 @ 3.52ghz
    3 x 1080p displays @60hz
    No HDMI audio driver

    Desktop is fine and smooth across all 3 monitors until I enable eyefinity, then it feels sluggish and like it is only refreshing at 30hz or maybe less, dragging windows looks awful like there is no driver installed.

    Tried ClockBlocker / Aero off/ Power saving is at max performance

    Been fiddling with it all day - no joy ;(

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    edit: Games seem to run fine, looks like its just the desktop that has this effect

    Went through countless driver revisions, no change.

    Solved it by having a display port cable from card to one of the monitors - I was using a passive display port to hdmi adapter and this was the cause! Thought I would report back in case anyone else has a similar issue.
