because some people want a WIDER more immersive view. I wish they made 21:9 monitors as that would be a nice bezel free compromise between a regular set up and eyefinity setup.I'll say it again, I know nvidia is implementing this as well but seriously people hsould just buy a 2560X1600 30" monitor and put it infront of there face, thats enough screen real estate. Why would anyone want these bezels ??
Nice vid though.
Thanks for it
would be nice to have a setup like that.
perhaps because it costs 1/2 as much money to buy three 20-23" monitors as opposed to one 30"I'll say it again, I know nvidia is implementing this as well but seriously people hsould just buy a 2560X1600 30" monitor and put it infront of there face, thats enough screen real estate.

I suppose this should be obvious but am gonna ask it anyway. When you want to Xfire one of these 6 port cards are you gonna have to use another 6 port card or will you be able to use any other HD58xx card? I'm not asking about the "recommended" choice but if it will work with any other HD58xx card. Just curious.
BTW... great video as always and I look forward to the Thermaltake/BMW case build. Man that thing is sexy.
Also, knowing you had to bring down graphics options to get it running fluidly, what's the difference between 5 and 6 panels tho. Is dropping that last panel enough to raise some graphics options?

Kyle, do you think there will be any possible way to drive a 5x1 portrait 30" monitor setup in this generation of cards? I'm thinking that two 5970 4GB cards would be needed, but I've seen more than one complaint that two 5970s together at eyefinity resolutions can actually be even worse than just using a single one. Apparently this is because the crossfire bridge connector does not have enough bandwidth to handle resolutions higher than 2560x1600 (in total). Any thoughts on that?
Edit: I realize that 5x1 portrait isn't supported right now. But assuming it will be sometime this year...
Nice review Kyle. It looked tedious. Thanks for the hard work.

Cost effective yes. But as anyone with a 30" monitor will testify, once you go 30", you don't ever want to go less. It is so much desktop real-estate.
I was looking at finding some way to have go with the 3x22" or 3x24" for gaming and the 30" for everything else but I don't have the room right now.
I agree with Brent, his setup is the great for everyday use.
I am very much sold on EF, but the cards do run out of gas even at 3x1.
the 58xx cards run out of gas on 1 display setup too dude! remember if your single display l4d2 experience is 150fps then if you get that in a 3x1 landscape it's 50fps PER screen totaling 150fps. while the 58xx series cards are beastly with their performance, they too get maxed out on single screen setups.
3x3 would basically be going right back to 16:9/16:10 so you would lose the main point of eyefintiy which is the increased fov.Nice vid as usual mate, what is your opinion on a 3x3 setup? I know video cards arent going to handle that for a long time, but wouldnt that fix the imersion problem? and be awesome, FOV would be amazing.
Yep. Two in portrait flanking a 30in. :heart:
Has ATI given you any heads up when they might add some more unique/custom/interesting combations of resolution options to Eyefinity? I'm really looking forward to when it's possible to do 1 landscape centered with 2 portrait monitors for the side-monitors. If not, do you know whereabout this lies on their list of priorities? I know 10.4 is suppose to be bringing some 3D solutions from various third parties so would we need to likely wait to 10.5 or later to see unique setups regarding eyefinity resolutions?
pLp is on the list of desired features, but it does have some significant technical challenges. There are other features which we feel are of more immediate interest to the user community, such as bezel management and Crossfire support for EF. No feature will be implemented, at least not within the short term, that compromises the HD immersion experience. That includes features which would impose a notable performance impact.
