    Are you sure you made an eyefinity group in ccc (amd) and not just extended displays?
    Does your wallpaper fit each monitors, or dies it stretch to fit both

    It's weird tho, WoW should AT LEAST support up to bigger than that, 1920x1080 is the minimal limit... I think you have to screw about with some settings some more, maybe WoW didn't detect them? It reminds me of this guy, who had a better graphics card, but his WoW still ran as crappy as it did with the old one, because WoW didn't notice it could do better. Could be similar issue?

    Not that that helps, cuz I have no clue how he resolved it anymore.

    not to discourage you but why would you use 2 monitors for eyefinity? The biggest point is your character and anything you do is ALWAYS going to show up right down the middle of your bezels. Eyefinity is 3 monitors.

    Because it doesn't just widen your look, it shows more to the left or rights. you could the second monitor to display recount, mini map, omen, etc

    been fiddling with it all afternoon, to no avail.. it works with tonnes of other programmes, the only other one I have issuesmwith is borderlands.. I recognises the resolution but shows it waay to big to fit on the screens.. its just plain odd

    Disable windowed-mode and try again.
    (I'm assuming windowed since you say it doesn't fit the screen)

    You have to use DX9 mode. DX11 won't work at all. They're looking into it.
    If you try to force eyefinity resolutions in DX11, you'll get a horribly stretched 640x480 at 5 FPS instead.

    Also, be ready to disable SCT and chat bubbles, and use a mod for nameplates. All of those scale horizontally, not vertically, so on 3x 1920x1080 monitors, they're 3x as large as normal.

    aaaah.. that could be it.. I run everything default in dx11.. so that could be the wow thing.. as for the one thats too big for the screen.. its hugely too big.. not just a bit of clipping off the edge, the entire top half and maybe 20% off each side is missing.

    Tried putting it back to fullscreen rather than windowed borderless.. and still had the same issue.. Haven't tried wow yet, will have a crack at that tomorow.
