Hi,
I have a custom openGl based 3D application/game that I want to run on some screen setups "video walls" using eyefinity.
The video walls range from 2*2 to 2*3 to 3*3 (perhaps even 3*4 later)
I've done my research (information is very outdated on the internet) and yes I've read
Cards that Support Eyefinity 6 and other topics multiple times but I still have some blanks / questions.
Would you be so kind to confirm/comment on these statements and questions with your appreciated expertise ?
- 1 Displayport can send out maximum 4 streams (MST) - the max. resolution / stream is limited by the DP bandwidth ?
- 1 Displayport to MST hub (CSV-5400) could drive 3 4K screens (30Hz or 60 Hz)
- 1 Radeon GPU (R9 haiti) can drive up till 4 screens (full HD 60 Hz) in SLS with one displayport and one MST hub
- 1 Radeon GPU (R9 haiti) can drive up till 6 screens (full HD 60 Hz) in SLS (need minimum 2 displayports)
- 2 Radeon GPU (R9 Haiti in SLI or X2 config) can drive up till 12 screens in SLS (need minimum 2 times 2 displayports)
- A R9 295x2 8Gb Hydra edition (4 * miniDP) should be able to run a 3*3 (9 full HD screens) in 60Hz using 3 MST hubs
- A R9 295x2 8Gb Hydra edition (4 * miniDP) should be able to run a 4*3 (12 full HD screens) in 60Hz using 3 MST hubs
- A R9 270X (1 displayport) could drive 3 "1920*3240" (30Hz-60Hz) screens using 1 MST hub (I have stack of 3 screens that can identify as "1920-3240")
It would really help me, as testing all these options in the blank would cost me a fortune (which I don't have
)
I also find it difficult to find e.g. a R9 290 with 4 Gig of ram and more then one Displayport (can't find any). It also looks that there are no (decent priced) 4 dp, 6 dp or 12dp cards anymore like you had in the radeon HD 7XXX time. (the powercolor12 - club3d eyefinity 6 - ...) How come that it's easier to find old cards or lower spec cards (285x has some with 2 dps) with multiple DPs then it is for the new generation ? Just offer-demand ? Or is there a technical reason ?
I remember the press presentation of
AMD running 24 screens on 1 PC and I was in the assumption that the multi-monitor gaming was starting a new era .. but it looks like it didn't take off very well ?
Thanks already for your time & experise
Michael
