AMD Eyefinity technology allows two or more displays to be combined into a single large desktop.

When displays are combined the desktop resolution and


workspace area increase per the number of displays in the group, with each display showing a portion of the desktop. The final resolution is the horizontal
and/or vertical sum of the individual monitors.

For example: Three 1920x1080 displays arranged in a horizontal 3x1 AMD Eyefinity mode would create a desktop area of 5760x1080.

NOTE!

 AMD Eyefinity is currently supported on Microsoft® Windows® 7 and Windows® 10.

 Only one AMD Eyefinity display group can be created per graphics card.

 An AMD Eyefinity display group cannot span across multiple graphics cards.

 The maximum number of supported displays in an AMD Eyefinity display group will vary depending on the graphics card.

Setting Up AMD Eyefinity Display Group

Before you start creating an AMD Eyefinity display group, please use Windows® Display Settings to configure and arrange your displays in the desired
order. For help, please refer to: How to Configure Displays in Duplicated and Extended Modes

NOTE! The following instructions are based on using Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition. Please ensure that Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020
Edition or later is installed before proceeding.

To create an AMD Eyefinity display group, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select AMD Radeon Software.


2. In Radeon™ Software, click on the Gear icon then select Display from the sub-menu.
3. Click Quick Setup to create an AMD Eyefinity display group.
NOTE! Quick Setup will automatically create an AMD Eyefinity display group based on the arrangement specified using Windows® Display settings.

Customizing AMD Eyefinity Display Group

Once the AMD Eyefinity display group has been created, the following options will be available:

 Display Arrangement - Adjust the position of each display within the AMD Eyefinity display group.

 Set Preferred Display – For applications that do not support AMD Eyefinity mode, the preferred display is the display device upon which the
application will be displayed.

 Discard Setup - Deletes the current AMD Eyefinity display group and reverts to the previous display configuration.

If the mouse does not move across the displays in the expected order, use Display Arrangement to specify the placement of the displays in the AMD
Eyefinity display group.

To arrange displays in an AMD Eyefinity group, follow the steps below:

1. In Radeon™ Software, click on the Gear icon then select Display from the sub-menu.
2. Locate the Display Arrangement option and select Rearrange Displays.
3. The onscreen guide will show a grid representation of the display group and one of the physical displays will have a blue background. Click on the
box in the grid that matches the location of the highlighted display.

In this example, the display on the left has a blue background. Click on the left most box in the grid to confirm its position.

4. Once the first displays position has been confirmed, another display will appear with a blue background. Click on the box in the grid that matches
the physical position of the display. This process continues depending on the number of displays used in the group. However, the last display's
position will be applied automatically.
5. The display arrangement of the AMD Eyefinity display group is now complete.

For applications that do not support AMD Eyefinity mode, use the Preferred Display option to run the application on your preferred display.

To set the preferred display:

1. In Radeon™ Software, click on the Gear icon then select Display from the sub-menu.
2. Select one of the displays in the Eyefinity Group, then locate the Preferred Display option and toggle the button to Enabled.
3. The preferred display is now set.

If you wish to return the displays to their original layout as configured using Windows® Display settings, use the Discard Setup option.

To discard the current AMD Eyefinity display group, follow the steps below:

1. In Radeon™ Software, click on the Gear icon then select Display from the sub-menu.
2. Click on Discard Setup to remove the AMD Eyefinity display group.
3. Click Yes to confirm

4. When finished, you may close Radeon™ Software.
