AMD packs 2.15 billion transistors into a tiny chip, offering outstanding performance, DirectX 11 support, and triple-monitor (or better) capability. Nvidia’s response is nowhere to be seen

Six Monitors, One Card

displayconfigs_full-1.png


One of the more intriguing aspects of the Radeon HD 5870 is its use of multiple displays, something AMD dubs “Eyefinity.” The first shipping HD 5870 comes with four display connectors: two DVI, one DisplayPort, and one HDMI. Up to three monitors can be connected to any three of the four connectors. (Due to timing limitations, all four connectors can’t be used simultaneously.) Later this year, AMD will ship a card with six DisplayPort adapters, capable of connecting up to six DisplayPort-equipped monitors at the same time.

For cards supporting up to three displays, usage scenarios might include three wide screen displays in portrait mode, side by side. Cards capable of driving six simultaneous digital monitors could support a variety of display options: 3 x 2 landscape, 2 x 2, or oddball scenarios such as 3 x 1 with another 1 on top as an extended display (for flight sims, for example.)

One underlying technology making a six display configuration possible is DisplayPort. The display controller in the RV870 generates only two timing signals, suitable for DVI or VGA. DisplayPort can source external timing signals, and DisplayPort-equipped monitors can act as timing sources.

Extrema Eyefinity Tech Demo on Linux - 63 Megapixel - X-Plane


1 PC
1 High End Consumer Processor
4 Radeon 5800 family GPUs
24 1920x1200 Display Port Monitors
Ubuntu 9.04
X-Plane 9.40beta

Each monitor was 1920x1200 with a small amount of bezel correction (150 H, 120 V). So the effective displaysize is 1920*6+150*5 = 12270 horizontally and 1200*4+120*3 = 5160 vertically for a total effective resoltuion is 12270*5160 = 63,313,200 pixels!

You should never buy the latest cards. They drop in price withing months, and the need for them right now isn't very high. I am running most games today at full spec on an ATI 4670 with no problems.

This card will be worth the purchase in a few years time. Plus, I had a hard time fitting an 8800gtx in my case, this thing is a beast.

How did you manage to get the e6600 to 3.6? Mine is clocked at 2.4.

I used to have that GPU but it died. I now have an ATI 4670.

usually the e6600's run easily up to 3200 with only very little change in voltage ;)

after u overclocked your cpu, test it with prime95 for about 5 or more hours overnight to see if the cpu runs at the speed without errors
