Whilst I admire your ingenuity and dedication to multiscreens, did you ever consider a projector for a similar size result? 15 screens is a bit like a woman paying for fake boobs...the size of fully grown water melons. Yes I would probably take several annual leave days from work to really dedicate sometime to them, but I certainly wouldn't want people I respect seeing me with them.

Pretty silly, but nice that it can be done.

[MobsterOO7]

Seriously man, this is getting ridiculous.

Seriously man, this is getting ridiculous.

I agree ;)

and............... ?? :mrgreen: :hide

Duniek is always looking for challenges, his favourite game is called "limit". Keep it up man ! :cheers

[suiken_2mieu]

Keep it up, it's amazing.

[Slinky]

i also say keep going. its insane

[MobsterOO7]

Please do not misunderstand, I love that you are doing this stuff and testing the limits for these card configurations. But every time you post one of these setups that you get working I imagine you bankrupting yourself. Are you borrowing these monitors from work or something?

[TheUnk]

Wow I hope you didn't buy all those.

All you've really accomplished is putting a black grid and gaps over a couple larger TVs/Monitors.

All monitors is mine, I bought them for cheap (I will not write about details, but I paid 30-40$/each average) SO 15 of them still cheaper than one GTX480 in PL. :lol:
now I am selling it whout lose any money (even with profit) I collected all of them from auction portal (similar to ebay) for 10months

So this wasnt easy like some people think, I go to shop and buy 15 monitors for zilion dollars, made setup, and sell. NOPE.
All is calculated, also I bought rest of stuff in similar way, some parts are from USA (30% cheaper than my country) (shipping takes 3-4 weeks but I am patient) so no problem


Finally about borders, I AM NOT NOTICED THEM, dont bother to me. OF course will be better with thinner bezels but I dont have problem with stock bezels.

I was this way with most setups, but when I did 5x1 with 23" Monitors with 1" Bezels, I got pissed off. Initially I was okay, but then I went and overlapped the bezels and then it got worse because Every other monitor was off. So I said f--- this and bought 30"rs. Eventually I want to go 5x1 Portrait 30"rs 8000x2560 :D It'll be beautiful.

[MrCrowley]

Awesome :cheers

A question: How about the 8000 limit for DirectX9?, How did you overcome that limit?

[fuzioninfinity]

Haha, wow. That is awesome. I always get a kick out of seeing these crazy setups you pull off. :rockout

[suiken_2mieu]

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.

I'm going to try. That'll be way in the future though. I figure after I get my 3rd 30" and pay off my speeding ticket, I want to buy a car. :P

[RED-FROG]

I love you for doing this :bowdown

[yogibbear]

This is pretty damn cool. :cheers

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:
