A friend's EYEFINITY 9 setup

yeah to much for me. 5 maybe but 9 is way to much. if i had 9 i would do a 3x3 set up at the most.

M*M*M
M*M*M not M*M*M*M*M*M*M*M*M
M*M*M

Yeah I came in here expecting an interesting 3x3 setup, not a strange 1x9 configuration. :p
 
At first it was I thought it looked fucking awesome, then you realize how shitty the performance is...
 
lol
its only for show off guys

someone says - thousands dollars?

if I really have a lot of cash I will have bigger apartment and buy superthin bezels LCDs + better mobo 3x pci-e x16 + better cpu and 2GB vram gpu card

5870 2gb + 2x5450 will be enough, bcoz I use softTH , which only main gpu rendering, two others is only for displaying

also i dont know about perfomance (softTH really cut it), bcoz on 7 monitors i have 30 fps on 2xaa HIGH details (only 30 but full playable and i dont see difference between 30 and 50)
also on movie i noticed 13-14 (16-17 is enough for gaming - once again FOR dirt2, i guess for FPP shooters even 40 will be slow but I am only playing dirt/grid)

one more thing
3 or 5 monitors in landscape mode is ENOUGH for super enjoying gaming)

3x46" TV will be great but not now, maybe next year

Based purely on this quote, I'm going to assume those 9 LCD's are hot.

heh
 
What a waste of money and space. It really looks terrible. My NEC 3090 kicks the shit out of that setup. 2560x1600 FTW with really good performance. What good is resolution if the quality is for crap.

E-Peen fail!!!!

4. Showing off? lawl. Nobody is impressed, you just proved that you are a silly noob.
Click to expand...

did you ever played even in eyefinity setup?

Silly noob ?, if so, then entire ati must be a silly nobs as well with their 24 monitor eyefiity with flight simulator :)

I am not a super uber gamer, so 30fps and even medium details is a lot enough for me, the same as dx9 and dx11, i just enjoy game, I dont see a diffrence really.

I have 8 monitors personaly bcoz I need them for work (nineth is borrowed from friend)

I can do 3x3 mode as well but then I will ruin eyefinity idea which is wider perspective fov


i made this setup bcoz I like experiments with this stuff,
some ppl have super overclokced or looking computers, or expensive, i just had monitors, which i need them to work anyway as I said
 
TBH, there is a point where there is overkill. He can't even fit that on a desk..
Not to mention that if you put all the bezzles together, it would equal out to about 2 monitors worth of black space.
 
lol 9 tilted monitors on the floor domino style.

Interesting to see such wide resolution works but please don't tell me you actually game like this.

I'm sorry I'm not impressed, but there are a number of resoons this sucks:

1. SoftTh? HA! Thats compatible with like 4 DX 9 games.

2. Price? Why spend so much to play with bezels at low settings when you coudl just buy a single 30" and a 5970 and be bezel free at max settings?

3. Lol at actually bragging about this turd!
Click to expand...

I'm not touching 2. or 3. but I have to defend number 1, as I used SoftTH for a while with a GTX275 and a 8400gs before upgrading to 2 5870's. I had SoftTH working with nearly every Dx9 game I had.
Bordlands, CoD:WAW, MW, MW2, Metro 2033, Bad Company 2, Mirrors Edge, Dead Space, Dirt 1-2, Grid, Crysis, etc. etc. etc. I actually can't think of a Dx9 game that it hasn't worked on. So, you're little jab at SoftTH FAILS!!

Again, I won't dispute your other claims. :p


Oh, and on a personal note. While it's a nice tech demo to show that Eyefinity and SoftTH work together. in terms of performance,...I would NOT be able to play Dirt 2 like that. I have to play racing games at 30fps at the least. single-player FPS I can live with 20fps. Multiplayer FPS has to be at least 30fps again. Also, with the amount of visual degradation you would witness from having to kill all the detail to get it to that resolution seems like a terrible trade-off.

My advice, tell your friend to sell 6 of those monitors. Sell the 5770 and the 5450. buy another 5870 and stick with 3x1. get his system in a slick case, mount the screens on the wall or a desk with some ergotechs, hide the cables.. and THAT... would be brag worthy. This though....this? not "wow" worthy, sorry.

I thought it was entertaining to see that setup.
Not sure why everyone is flaming this guy. He is probably foreign judging by his spelling.
People do impractical stuff all the time just for kicks.

ok guys I understand your thoughts. flame me more please

I'm not flaming, As a tech demo to show off Eyefinity and SoftTH it works, it shows great potential. If you bragging though... then it's a different story.

Proof of Concept = Thumbs up.
Bragging = Thumbs down.

By the look of your post over on Kegtys. I'm gonna say it was a proof of concept, since you included diagrams and close up shots of the connections. Why didn't you post those here instead of having your friend just post a video link. I think that would have gone over much smoother. I'm "ReverEND" on the SoftTH forums BTW.

OMG
I can bragging about car but not a stupid computer lol

My setup is weak and a lot of people have better configuration, wait, some ppl have CPUs which cost more than my entire setup and bragging wasnt the point of that, but some people didnt understand and will not understand :(

8 monitors isn't necesery for me to work and I am using 4-5 and sometimes extra 2-3 are very helpful


at all I agree, 9 monitors are too much, 3-5 is enough (I said it 2-3 times earlier)

How many times do people have to ask this useless question before they get it? A single 30" monitor doesn't let you see any more than a 22" monitor. Hell, a 16:9 20" will show you more game world than a 30".

In a landscape setup the bezels are moot. Even with them, you still see far more of the world than with a 30". Landscape Eyefinity is like wearing glasses - there are some frames, but you can still see the world. A single monitor 16:9 or 16:10 monitor (regardless of its physical size) is like wearing blinders. You don't see shit.

3. Lol at actually bragging about this turd!

Chill bro. No need to flame the guy or call his setup a "turd". Its a cool concept. Practical? No. Interesting to see? Absolutely. And if you don't like it, why do you keep coming back to this thread to call it a turd? Great, you don't like it, move the fuck on. Do you have a personal vendetta against the OP or some shit? This child-like behavior of yours is pathetic.

Did you happen to read the rest of my post?. About seeing the same on the Kegtys forum?

I think it all got a little confusing 'cause th OP isn't dupazbita. the OP just said "my friend wanted me to show this off".

But your post on Kegtys was different and just shows that it really is more of a demonstration. I think this thread should be locked and you should post THAT here, I bet you get a better response.
 
It's cool dude, but having them like that isn't for gaming. There is far too much for you too look at and comprehend while gaming. You have to completely move your head from right to left, and back just to see things.

I have Eyefinity myself and I can vouch for having to move my head at times with 3 monitors. FML with 9.

Put them up in a 3x3 display
Use Eyefinity
Profit

If you really wanted some good attention (why else would you asked to have this posted) make a dome like structure, in which you sit in a reclined chair and the monitors cover you. Immersive :D

I know I know sorry to you

my friend post it bcoz I cant remember password to my account, lol

This is forum, discusion on this, some good word, some critical and this is OK, will be bored if everyone will say: "good work, nice setup"
Anyway sometimes ppl said: eyefinity is lame bcoz they dont like bezels (for example), funny is that a lot of these ppl never played on more than 1 monitor, in landscape mode when you playing and enjoying game you dont notice bezels, (maybe in portait mode can be little annoying) but this can be reason of irregular bezels in my 226bWs (top and sides are 18mm, bottom bezel about 27mm)
 
Concept,cool but def needs some work.

And i can vouch that you can see alot more with a smaller monitor. I recently downgraded from a 32" to a 23". At first i didn't think so but i like the 23" alot better. So much so that I sold my 32".
 
I think its pretty cool. Though personally I'd rather have something like a 2 x 5 monitor set up all in landscape, portrait looks a bit crazy. That'd be my ultimate set up, 5 monitors across, 2 high, the game centered on the bottom middle most display (ie. not on the bezels) and also to have the fisheye effect fixed so that you can actually have ~180 degrees FOV without it looking retardedly stretched.

Some of you guys need to settle down a bit :)
 
Dont understand all the hate,I saw the post not as bragging,but as a look at what's possible type deal.
He's obviously not intending to show it as a final set up(to brag about it)
He's probably scrounging parts together and likely having to borrow monitors to tinker around with multi monitor possibilities to give an idea what they'd be like.
 
Don't worry about mrnoob. He's just a troll. There's a reason why he's banned, and his grammar was shit, too. Anyway, I like your setup.

The bezels might get on my nerves, but if there were ever a way to setup around 12 monitors as if you were in a car that'd be sweet. 4 monitors for the windshield, 4 monitors for the rear window and 2 monitors for each side window would be sweet.

Yeah some of you people are about as mature as 2 year old children. And to you grammar Nazis, did any of you think for even a second that English is not the primary language of some of the people that post here?

Nice proof of concept, dupazbita. Don't listen to the hateful children.
 
The choppy framerate and odd decision of going 9 x portrait mode destroys the impressiveness in my opinion.
 
That looks awesome. And the ignorant haters need to run their own setups or stfu.
 
Wow the earlier posts flaming this setup are full of shit. Have you ever seen anything like that? No. That makes it awesome whether you like it or not. I think it's pretty badass. Over the top? Yes. Isn't that the point?
 
jesus christ. AMD's crossbar switch is effectively switching at nearly 3GHz. Thats nuts...
 
Not even a little impressed. Like PornoSatan said, the framerate looked barely playable, and it's far too wide to even be practical to use.
 
Not my cup of tea but has potential for an awesome overkill setup + I hear The Prodigy - Warriors Dance so I'll give it a thumbs up.

Eh, proof of concept. What's to keep him from future tweaking it and making a wrap-around racing simulator?

Neat idea, at least.
 
Now to try it in different configurations.
What country are you from?
Oh, and that room must get HOT.

That, and I can think of a lot of uses for 9+ monitors.

Stock market. Doctor (full body x-ray/CAT scan spanning all monitors), coding, photoshop, 3D Max, etcetc... Sounds incredibly useful. Those who bashed on this are thinking too narrow -- you see the game and say ohno, that's not good. That's not the point. :eek:
