Very interesting, but there was a reason why I quit on monitors after successfully using 6 in gaming in 2008. If you can pick up LCDs on an auction site, you can also pick up projectors too. IMHO, the next logical step is get 5-6 1080p projectors and be a daredevil and portrait rotate them. I've seen the BenQ W1000 do rotated 1080p for at least 10 hours on without overheating, so I know it's technically possible to push some serious pixels on a 6 portrait 1080p projector setup too. :twisted:

BenQ will say it's not supported but at the AMD Tech Day for the 6800-series we did experiment with 5 1080p projectors in one setup. :wink:

5x1 Portrait?... Why haven't they released the god damn driver? T_T

No idea, that's a question best answered by AMD.

It's actually 8192, but it really seems that that rule of thumb does work often. I have played a lot of game over that limit. I guess it depends on the engine.

I know it´s 8192, but it´s supposed to be directx10 maximum resolution, not engine dependent. Anyway fine for me. Maybe do 5x2560x1600 in the future.


It a hardware limit not a directx limit. This was previously proven to be the case with both 4096 and 8192. I was the one that proved the 4096 could be broken. Someone else proved 8192 could be.

He's not using 15 3d moniters he's probably using some cheapie 60Hz ones,
people give those away when they upgrade sometimes.
