New FOV & Aspect Ratio Calculator from Delphium

Forum member Delphium put together a new FOV Calculator that is simply amazing. Beyond just calculating FOV, it also calculates Aspect Ratio, Eyefinity/Surround Aspect Ratio, total pixels, video bitrate and video bandwidth.

It also has a graphical representation of the aspect ratio using a Hor+ image from L4D2. By entering in your number of monitors, it will also add in the bezels to simulate an Eyefinity setup. Pretty amazing, and thanks again to Delphium for all of his hard work.

  • Support greater than three displays, thus giving more options
  • 2GB of VRAM
