Merry HIS-mas: Win an HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo Eyefinity4

[compro]

Eyefinity this perfect solution for gamers and work. Enables you to better control the situation, to orient themselves in space in the game. You can work more effectively in multiple applications, view more data and images at once. Arrange at home theater unprecedented dimensions. :wink:

I have a nice 3x26" soyo dual 5850 water cooled i7 920 overclocked monster and i love it. Eyefinity is the greatest invention for gaming and desktop real estate ever invented! COD Black Ops is the next greatest! The new graphics cards like this HIS 6870 will change the experience even more. I can't wait to get my hands on some and test them. 120FPS at present is extemely life threatening in the game, :-). With wide screen fixer, I have no issues I need to worry about! I will never build another computer without Eyefinity and ATI again.
i7-920 at 4.2
6MB triple channel 1600 Patriot
dual 5850HD at 951/4570
all water cooled with two 360s and six fans
intel 160GB SSD and raid 0 for storage 960GBs
3 26"Soyo LCD gaming monitors
and some more fun stuff!

grats to WSGF on great xmas competition.

thoughts on Eyefinity...

having started out with Matrox and 3 screens, i got Eyefinity as an upgrade to 5 screens. but alas its nowhere to be found.
Eyefinity needs to be more flexable.

multimonitor gaming... More = Better!

i love it.

ps. Eve now works at any res in windows mode. got it going on my 5x1p ...is good.

[Kero_1116]

Honestly, I never tried it. I can't afford a video card yet. :(

My thoughts.

I think it would be a terrific to be able to have this hardware. The possibilities are endless.

i used eyefinity on team fortress 2 at a friend's house and i have to say i was impressed. it really does wonders for peripheral vision.

[Dr_zoidberg01]

My thoughts are....WOW!

To think of how magnificent Crysis would look on 4 screens. Gives me goosebumps. The intensity of Battlefield Bad Company 2 would be jaw dropping, to see all the action on a huge array of 4 screens powered by a beast of a GPU, I think I would wet myself, and with games like Crysis 2 and RAGE coming out next year, :shock: :bowdown ........

Merry HIS-mas indeed

Hi all, I am a lover of all driving sims,and I was happy with my aging,hot and loud 4870 as I have always got reasonable FPS with a DFI X48 MB with 8gig of quick RAM and things were good.That is until a good mate did an upgrade a few months ago with a 3 screen setup putting me back in the dark ages when I go home to mine own,now ordinary setup...To say I was blown away is an understatement,and seems to take away the "tunnel feel" from high speed driving compared to a single screen.I need a foot in the door to start on my own multi monitor system so winning this card gets both feet thru the door.I wish everyone good luck but need the WSGF Gods to smile in my direction,as I know the wife WONT be putting a HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo Eyefinity4 under the christmas tree in my house.I can hope tho!

I want eyefinity because you only need one card to do surround gaming.

I have GTX460 but can only afford one so My only option is softth.

[toep]

Eyefinity is beast! :rockout
It would be awesome to win! :D

[sushrukh]

I would say, i was spellbound when i saw my friend playing DiRT 2 in Eyefinity4 mode with 4 monitors.Multi-monitor gaming was always a fancy for me but after seeing the gameplay in the EyeFinity4 mode , it felt that it's an heck of a difference from single monitor gameplay. :shock:

I couldn't believe how much extra details i was seeing when playing a game in the Eyefinity4.It's just WOW.I can imagine how awesome it would have been playing COD Black OPS in the Eyefinity 4.I would be able to see the enemies before they hit me. :)

I wish i would have the pleasure to run my favourite games in the Eyefinity 4 mode because after seeing the eyefinity 4 in action , i do not want to play games without it. ;)

Thank You for the opportunity. :)

Its really amazing that you people are giving such an amazing gift..I don't know whether i am lucky or unlucky to win this Big prize as a Christmas gift from WSGF instead of santa but let me be frank and truthful to you guys..I have never used this technology practically...I hv just heard about this eyefinity technology/multiple display gaming in past months...read about it monthly magazines and definitely on forums like Anandtech and toms hardware....

As per my view, by watching videos on youtube related to eyefinity technology which involves multiple displays, i say its the 'future of gaming'...I was really amazed when i saw a guy playing NFS shift in 3 viewsonic monitors and the king size display it was forming,,Uff!!! i bacame jealous of him for some time..lolzzz.

Really i wud be the first guy in my country to play on multiple screen/wide screen gaming if i win this baby...

Thanks and Love to all you people..All the best...and Merry Xmas! :cheers

Thoughts on Eyefinity/Surround? Its both an exciting glimpse of the future and a depressing new benchmark for all the console games and blizzard games that dont work on it. You don't want to go back, but often you have no choice.

[Dunii]

I love my 6 monitor eyefinity setup. I just wish it wasn't limited to how many monitors you can cram onto one GPU. Being able to have an eyefinity grouping across two cards...think of those possibilities!

Hope I win!

Ive tried off the different surround gaming solutions that there is. First was 8800GT + a 6200 PCI-X1. Piece of Shite. Next was an 8800GT/9800Gt and triple head to go - much better smoothing game play. Nvidia surround via SLI GTX 275s - smooth as the triplehead to go, but driver support lacking. Finally tried the Eyefinity with an Sapphire 6870 on 3 Dell 19" LCDs @ 3840x1024. Just recently upgraded to HP LP2475s @ 6042x1200 .

Out of all the surround setups there are, The Eyefinity setup with my 6870 is by far the smoothest, most stable and easy to setup PERIOD. The Sapphire card came with a miniDP to DP adapter right out of the box so cudos to sapphire for that . These monitors have Native DP support as well as DVI and HDMI so only adapters ive needed are from miniDP to DP. I play WoW mostly and various flavors of CoD and HAWX. The setup is totally emersive in all aspects.

I think the best thing is that , even though my wife flames me for having such an obscene setup compared to the rest of the gamers in my family, she is no longer able to talk cause I caught her playing Farmville @ 6042x1200. ATI/AMD FTW

My experience with Eyefinity resume to the contact I had an IT event held in my country. A few minutes I tested a video player, a racing game and a presentation editor. There were impressive moments, when my expectations were exceeded in terms of multi-monitor display, but also moments of frustration when I was hard getting used to this method of display.

If I die I hope there's Eyefinity in Heaven and 6870 is God. Oh wait! 6870 is God ! :bowdown

Long time member, first time poster. :wink: Just picked up 2x Acer H243Hbmid monitors yesterday to go with my year old Acer P244w. Setting up Eyefinity was a cinch after reading through a few tips on WSGF. :) I have the P244w in the center running off a DP->VGA adapter and the H243Hs on the sides attached to the other 2 DVI outputs on an XFX 5850. First game I fired up was Dirt2 and after a couple of false starts I got it working beautifully in 5760x1080 mode. :D It looks like I'll have to flash the EDID of my P244w to match the H243Hs to get Bezel compensation working, but I can wait for that. Oh and if I win the HIS Radeon HD 6870 Turbo Eyefinity4 I'll probably be selling my 5850, so be on the look out for that. :wink:

[stolid]

Some eyefinity setups are absolutely amazing.

How people can afford these monitors with thin bezels and in such high quantities is beyond me. I'm looking at 3x19" in the near future. I wish I could afford 3x24". Then again with bigger monitors, my HD5770 wouldn't be any good. :?

[ceb0610]

I've recently been using an Nvidia setup but the allure of surround gaming using only one GPU might just make me change my stripes.
