The debug.txt log shows all three monitors were unlocked successfully, so this is an issue with the installed refresh rates not taking effect, which can happen when using an MST hub. Try adding the refresh rates using AMD Radeon Software by adding custom resolutions for each monitor using the same values shown in CRU after installing the refresh rates with the setup program.

I've DDUed the drivers and resinstalled the latest ones just to be sure, then ran the "strobelight setup" and installed 120hz strobed and 144hz non strobed.
Opened CRU and read the 120hz mode and manually copied in the radeon software for each screen.

I'll update after the restart! if this works i'll have to open up again the monitor I modified cuz i've changed the current sense resistors for the LED backlight bringing it from 110mA to 120mA, thing is that there are 2 transistor the board that can pulse to increase the current above the maximum average the pannel can use and I think that's for the strobelight (i've cut the traces off so it wont be able to pulse more current)

So after fiddling with things and resetting the custom res a few times turns out the steps are:

- dont even bother with the "setup" just skip into AMD and add the custom resolution here https://imgur.com/a/cKPJLJh (take care those monkeys at AMD say KHz but it's Hz)
- Run Strobelight and wait for it to send the right DDC commands
- Hopefully setup eyefinity Big Grin

Thanks ToastyX for all your work and time
Btw the monitor i've modded is indeed a bit darker than the others, the current overdrive theory was right, i guess time to open it up again :c
