Alienware m18x r2 eyefinity
Hello,
I have an Alienware m18x r2 with AMD Radeon HD 7970M (4GB). And I want to add 2 or 3 extarnal displays with 1920x1080 resulution. But there are only 1 HDMI , 1 mini display and 1 vga port's. And I can't use 2 of them at the same time. Is there anyway that I can do eyefinity with this comp ? Also I'm gonna use it for games. ( WoW , CS:GO , etc)

Hi!
To set up a total of 3 monitors (2 external and the laptop LCD) you have to use the HDMI port and the MiniDP.
NOTE: To use the MiniDP you might need an active MiniDP to HDMI/DVI adapter.

Firstly thanks for your answer! I appreciate it.
How about 3 external monitors ? Is there anyway to do it?

Yes, there are two options to set it up:
You can either use the HDMI port + MiniDP port with an active adapter/hub (MiniDP on one end and multiple monitor connectors on the other end) or do a Daisy Chain (multiple monitors wired together). See here for more information.
Here are the Eyefinity recommended adapters in case you're going to use the first option.
