ATI Eyefinity COD Modern Warfare 2 with (3) 24" Monitors

[itskevinheath]

jealous as fuck. my two unlocked 6950s would handle this great, but i cant afford the monitors. hah.

[EdBlownVert]

@itskevinheath

I used to run two video cards, but I would rather have one strong card and 3 monitors.

[northpaw2000]

@EdBlownVert 6950 is strong eh?

[leehong8882221]

what graphics card?



[EdBlownVert]

@leehong8882221

ATI 5870

[leehong8882221]

@EdBlownVert I didn't know one HD5870 was has enough power to power three monitors

[EdBlownVert]

@leehong8882221

Yep, that is the main reason I bought it.

[CaptainHalodude]

the only thing ruining your eyefinity setup for playing MW2 is the red jelly you get on screen :D

[krth8]

Funny that you play on pc with eyefinity and a gamepad :P

[EdBlownVert]

@krth8

Gamepad?? Keyboard and Mouse is the only way to play

[svampebob007]

damn can't wait to get my two other monitors back :D once you go triple, you never go back !

[Chappy1994]

yer dude u should switch the screens to landscape

[varoxXx96]

the monitors need more big

[kdawgmaster]

y did u place them in landscape mode?

[kdawgmaster]

@kdawgmaster sry i meant portrait

[EdBlownVert]

@kdawgmaster

They are portrait mode. But I have tried them both ways. I prefer landscape. 

[kdawgmaster]

@EdBlownVert i corrected my self i meant portrait

[t29sinking]

it's not a video game, it's reality. When you finish the level, you must be tired.

[hellman4717]

I truley dont see the point of this when you culd get 1 large TV without the faggy borders....

[EdBlownVert]

Because you can't run that high of resolution with a TV

[jayboy81101]

@EdBlownVert Why would you want to? In a game like that you won't even notice the 3x resolution.

[EdBlownVert]

@jayboy81101

I guess you have never played with 3 monitors. Try it sometime, its immersive.

[jayboy81101]

@EdBlownVert As a matter of fact I have, I played Dirt2 with a Logitech G27 on eyefinity setup of 5760x1080 using 3x 42" with the first and third screens set up for peripheral vision. THAT's immersive, In your case I feel I can safely say that I would prefer to save my £500 - £1000 and just play MW2 on a single larger screen without separating bezels.

[fhantazm]

@jayboy81101 Bullshit.

[CaptainHalodude]

@jayboy81101 I gotta agree with you there; 50" Full HD TV beats 6 monitors, considering the former can cost like a couple of hundred quid cheaper.

For the multi-monitor lovers out there, have you ever watched a film at a cinema which had 3 smaller screens at once? Maybe there are, but in general, they typically go for one big-ass screen :P

[roshawn1111]

@hellman4717 you cant get a high res like that on tv

[tntchef]

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5970 HD 5970 2GB 100280SR/ JUST BOUGHT THIS CARD, WHERE DOES IT RANK???

[roshawn1111]

@tntchef omg wtf top of the line best ati card thats out

[pappachese]

im working on my eyefinity machine rite now, all i need is another 5770 to cross fire and the three monitors that swivel and im all set, just costs a bit and it will take time but man i cant wait,

that looks sick btw and i did enjoy the video, it looks like its running great.

[roshawn1111]

@pappachese you too lol im waiting to get my montiors i already got 2 vapor-x 5770 in crossfire

[eaglex01]

i have 3 22" in eyefinity but when i launch this game its all stretched... how did you fix this?

[EdBlownVert]

@eaglex01

With this program

wsf.imk.cx

[gunmaster457]

enter your text here very original...

[earlyepitaph]

which 5xxx card are you using?

[EdBlownVert]

Diamond 5780

[roshawn1111]

@EdBlownVert whooa wait wtf you using a 5780? 1? for 3 screens?

[EdBlownVert]

@roshawn1111

Yep, one 5870 for 3 monitors.

[roshawn1111]

@EdBlownVert damn then my 2 5770s will kill this lol

[Cr0tchsh0t]

@candiceoyler708

EMPs are easy to get, you suck and you're a spammer

[flipposmits]

Looks very nice. I bought a 5770 and did not know you had to have a Active DP->DVI so thinking of buying a new screen with DP because those adapters are expensive! But didn't ATI mention something about bazel control and extra software ? I can't find anything about that anymore.

[tiagom135]

why not 6 monitors lawl?

[tiagom135]

whell that sucks 22inch 120hz FTW

[rjbrunker]

what kind of monitors? How did u get them vertically?

[EdBlownVert]

Those are Gateway 24" monitors. They pivot.

[nelishoofd]

is the added peripheral vision really as good as they say? im planning on getting an eyefinity setup

[EdBlownVert]

Yes, its worth it.

[EveryNicksTaken2]

@nelishoofd

Its is much better then you think. I was a little sceptical at first when only watching youtube videos on the subject but when trying it out myself with 22" monitors I was blown away by the experience. =)

[madzane94]

u are smart... alwayz wondered why ppl make there eyfinity wide screen it's already 3.. way too wide.. landscape pwns!

[SoNiK192]

with the pivot function it looks way better than 3 monitors in normal setup in my opinion

[EdBlownVert]

I like it also, the screen was hugh. But I would notice the bezels. With larger monitors, it would not be a problem.

[paronfisk]

Yeah I agree but you don't get the wide angle of view tho

[jewpiles]

The lack of bezel management doesn't look so bad....

but still, it's coming in teh new year.

[Delus1on77]

id run them horizontal, those boarders are to close to the middle - nice anyway

[EdBlownVert]

I changed back to lanfscape. Might work better with 30" monitors

[hankx18]

what monitors are u using?

[EdBlownVert]

Those are Gateway Monitors

[BrianAnim]

wow ed, nice
