Widescreen Gaming Forum

I said a few months ago something about wondering if maybe Nvidia hasn't given us a driver since 182.50 that works well with TH2Go, because they plan to offer a solution via their cards.
Only speculation on my part thought. However, now that ATI has done it, you can bet NV's offering will soon follow.

I had a strong feeling this would be coming. If I had of known it would be this soon after my getting TH2Go,,,, I would have waited for it before I bought anything.

Lovely! Just absolutely lovely! Had my TH2Go for barely a few months and its being replaced :P oh well.. Hopefully this new setup is going to be glorious! Going to look at getting me 2x 5870X2 this time.

Just gotta decide if its time to jump on a i7 :P

The problems that comes with SLI and CF no thanx to play on 6 monitors then. Half the games will fucking reject the SLI mode or CF so you end up turning the shit of.

So that means sometimes 3 monitors only or 6 if you lucky hehe. Roll the dice well fuck me to be honest how hard can it be to engineer something full proof :D

btw

SLI have never ever worked as intended lol now just that is a huge fucking joke :P

yeah, the more I think about it, I might be glad I got TH2Go.
Most likely there will be bugs in this new tech for a while. Not wishing them bad luck or anything, but I feel advancements in the future will improve it's compatibility, etc.
Sometimes getting in on the ground floor with a new technology is rocky.
I hope this is not the case for those that try it. And I have no way of telling just how good or how troublsome this may or may not be.

I'll probably hold out until my next build,,,, but we'll see.

nvidia already has something but has limited it to their quadroplex stuff, they could just port it over to the high end GT300's or something.

SLI Matrix Mode is only up to 4 displays, so nVidia is going to have to whip up something to closer match EyeFinity to be competitive. My current goal is 5 screen portrait.

Dead Space, Dirt 2 and Left4Dead playable. WoW VERY playable at 80+fps at 7680x3200.

And that´s with only one gpu.

To many ass hats over there. People with experience playing on multi displays is better than listening to them.

Eventually someone looked at all of the outputs and realized that without too much effort you could drive six displays off of a single card - you just needed more display engines on the chip. AMD's DX11 GPU family does just that.

Well that is insane tho so no need for 2 cards then :P But still 6 monitors playing MMO man that shit looks bad. :) 9 monitors it is then :P

holy mother of christ!

this smacks matrox to bits!!!!!

24 million pixels o_0

but wth does this mean "Suporting six monitors with a single graphics card will require a specialized board, since most don't ship with six DisplayPort connectors across the back."

anyone thinking of 6 monitors for gaming is a nut. Whaayyy to much bezel it would be soo annoying.

is the 5870 coming out spet 24th? worldwide? and any confirmed prices?

O M G !!!
it seems first true AMD/ATI GPU is a monster

I wonder if the GPU will be monster sized or else what kind of revolutionary concept allows them to pull that one off ...

Apparently it's physically long, I just hope it ain't gonna start a 11inch trend or something, it's enough that 10in ultras don't fit most cases I look at.

I'm already in the process of figuring out what I need to do to use 5x 24" portrait rotated 6000x1920. I'll be doing that as soon as I confirm it's possible. :wink:

Awesome for mmorpgs, and you can use it too with ´only´ 3x30" monitores.

I got 40fps with Dead Space with SoftTh. How many could I get with 2x5870x2?, my speculation is maybe 150-200 fps at 7680x1600, and making playable many games that just now they aren´t

Maybe too much bezels, maybe 3x 24" works better, because you have a widescreen monitor at center

Yea, I can't handle the bezels in the middle. I'd like 3x30". That may be price prohibitive, but 3x24" would be doable.

I've got myself a 3x 24" setup, I bought two additional monitors (had only one before) about 2 weeks ago in anticipation of this ATI EyeFinity (plus I got a really good deal on the monitors). I can't wait for the HD 5870 to come out.

just put my triplehead up for sale to get together the rest of the cash i need for a 5870 2GB ;)

What sucks about this is it's gonna look like a fire sale on ebay for TH2G. I'm pessimistic on what I'll be able to get for my stuff.

dont think so, its in really good shape and i still have all packaging and stuff, so i put it up on amazon and the cheapest one there starts at about almost 270 at the moment - more expensive then back when i bought it; so i should be able to make low to no loss at all
