So, potentially, you could put a TH2Go on each of the DVI outputs, i.e. six screens and still have a HDMI and a DP port output for an additional 2...?

Just a thought... :D


yeah but then u still have the problems associiated with the th2g
(57hz, no 1920x1200)

I'm not quite sure that matrox software handles several TH2G devices ??
plus then you would have to setup eyefinity over TH2G??? not quite sure this would work without hiccups either !

edit: while you're at it add to that another TH2G DP on the Display Port ;)

PowerDesk detects and installs just fine for multiple GXM boxes. I can confirm this because I've had 2 DH2G Digital and 1 TH2G Digital on the same rig once.

I'd still like to see some actual numbers for Eyefinity, but those videos from PC Perspective look smooth enough.

Can we differentiate reviews that include performance benchmarks for multi-monitor gaming? Those are typically more interesting to our readers than the ones that only go up to something low like 2560x1600.
Actual EyeFinity review!

Finally... PC Perspective deliver what the others didn't! :D

Wow, surprised the guy didn't bother using HUD mods from our Th2Go forums to center them whenever possible.

Also on Far Cry 2? I don't see how he broke it at all, I was playing it a few months ago and it worked perfectly with 3840x1024. Maybe they just don't recognize 3x2560x1600 as a TripleHead resolution (would be very weird). Maybe he didn't patch it.. sigh.

I can think of two reasons why he didn't:
a) he doesn't know about WSGF.
b) he didn't want to advertise a potential competitor in his review (if he used the FOV tweaks from here in the review and didn't mention it, that's a naughty...)

not a "review" but this is more info on the X2:

shows a 8pin + 6 pin connector for power... so it is something a little different

Same as the 9800 GX2 8+6 pin connector

what i was meaning was adding 1 core extra and it doesnt shove the power requirements (in the way of sockets) up by much.
