I suppose it will work. I use dual monitors (HDMI+DVI) on an A8-6500 APU (the IGP is r600 too despite its name) and works just fine. I just briefly connected a third (VGA) out of curiosity and i was able to use it in 2 clicks via the built in Xfce dispay setup (2x1440x900+1x1280x1024 monitors).
So, the driver seems fully capable of supporting 3 displays. Note that i use the very latest drivers (mesa and kernel) compiled from git and xfce with no compositing (on Debian Testing 64 bit).
I dont know about inter smoothness, but i know that the radeon drivers are very capable and rock solid in my experience (despite using the latest git stuff).

You said or shared nothing...we all know it should work, but i would like to ear from people like gradinaruvasile that actually run triple screens...eyfinity setup or not.
After what you said about Intel drivers you cant really expected to be taken serious?
If Radeon like smoothness is so great why does my gaming rig which is a quadfire hawai xt beast who completely maxes out every single games in existence@4K resolution gives me hell under linux?

Cant say much about multimonitor support, but it should be fully working.

Hawaii is exception (it only started to work recently) in radeon driver, maybe with performance wise issues similar to Cayman But others are fine, as far as i know .
That said Intel Iris Pro have also unexpected performance issues too, you can search phoronix about that It is not that all Intels are so perfect, in all cases it just depends so YMMVLast edited by dungeon; 12 September 2014, 01:23 PM.
