ATI Eyefinity with HAWX (Part of a Guru3D article)

[ibodo91]

the name of the song from the beginning thanks!

[gabrocki]

no envy, but i really dont see the point of 3 monitors. the bars between the screens look annoying

[janderkin]

@gabrocki the bars would annoy me most on an FPS. The simulator wouldn't bother me too much because plains have bars.

[thatbastardson]

the fact that the screens don't blend directly next to each other, is the only thing keeping me from going with multiple monitors. the black bars just piss me off too much.

[snedie69er]

Glad to see it's not just my pc that get's the jitters in that game

[jewpiles]

@snedie69er Mine chews that game up like a notherfucker, and I don't ahve an uhjber system, ...

[FrPSh]

Okay, so my HD 5770 has 2 DVI, an HDMI, and a Displayport. If I want to do eyefinity, I need to use the displayport. I keep hearing different things. Do you need a true displayport monitor, or would buying an active (w/ power supply) converter to go from displayport > dvi work as well?

[manster1234]

@FrPSh I've heard mixed things about using adapters, so when I went eyefinity I got native displayport monitors. So far it's been 100% rock solid.

[snedie69er]

@FrPSh

Im using the Saphire active display port on the Asus VH222H screen. Works great

[HumenDoctor]

Name of song ? :)

[brandonsexywhitaker]

looks like this would give you a headache or a seizure after a while lol

[Howie47]

You don't need Eyefinity nor TripleHead2go to do three monitors. With an extra compatable graphics card (even intingrated on your motherboard) you can plug a third monitor into that. Open your game in (window mode), then drag it to the size of your screens. Or use softTH. It's all worked for years. Eyefinity doesn't even support portrait +landscape. My setup does.

[AGSystem27]

eyefinity + IZ3D = ATI

Surround + 3D + ¡¡¡NOISE!!!! = NVIDIA

[SchoolofLuke]

Are those 30" displays?

[AGSystem27]

@SchoolofLuke I think are 24"

[SchoolofLuke]

This video gave me a semi.

[anadali]

i dont like the look of eyefinity .. the borders between it are just terrible...Just get a bIg LCd and theres no need fur such a thing.

[Halfback1990]

52" vs 3x42" what is bigger?

[firebld]

yup get a3X LG thin borders like mine.. wont be that terrible. after sometime yr brain just got used to it.... on a reasonable price 2 X HD 5770

[comerbp82]

@anadali Your eyes automatically filter it out after awhile.

There are some major differences between a large single monitor and a 3 monitor setup. For one, the resolution is much higher. Two, You get a sense of peripheral vision out of angled monitors that is much more immersive. Three, the super wide screen effect lends itself better to FPS envronments.

[0urGaia]

LG just released SL8000 Borderless HDTV so its only a matter of time before we see borderless LCD monitors. Eyefinity might be just the beginning of something much bigger coming. Imagine a circular room fully decked out with borderless monitors. Would take movies and games to a new level.

[stevenaviator]

what monitors do you see here, i like them. and yes I know they are dell

[DieChaplinMelone]

Nice Eyefinity video, but terrible music!

[ComandanteJ]

yeeeahh i'm buying two 5850 babies, next step is to buy two 22" 1050p screens to match the one i have, (it's incredible how low priced screens are nowadays)

[mmykolas]

that is biblical!

[LeonidK340]

ATi makes best graphics cards at the moment, they are cheap and have good performance...

Eyefinity thechnology is best fot First Person Shooter (FPS) and RPG online games =)

To the new year i go to buy 2x5770 for crossfire =) best u can buy price-performance

[firebld]

yup.. agreed .. got mine working wonderfully. wont really burn the wallet ..

[msserman07]

obercool amd / ATI for the win

[Hansakaxp]

way more than cool

[Bladeboy311]

So how can you plug six monitors into one card? I don't see any place for six ports. How is this done?

[KLAXCYRIX]

the Radeon 5870 Eyefinity edition got 6x DP :) so you can plug 6 display to that card :)

[acidspoodie]

2 cards in crossfire maybe?

[marcyboy123]

USB too DVI/ HDMI connector

[106miles2chicago]

The technology is nice, but the video looks like it was pre-recorded game footage. Why? Why pretend the hands on the keyboard were actually affecting anything? There's not even a mouse.

P.S. A sidewinder taking out tanks, lol!

[grifferDK]

Yea there are actually a mouse visible behind the keyboard. And you can play HAWX perfectly well without using the mouse.

[106miles2chicago]

You're right, I didn't see the mouse. However, any flight sim that uses keyboard input for flight, is not a flight sim (no more than pacman is an action) :) Great graphics, no doubt.

[grifferDK]

Yea i agree with you on that :). It is really more of an arcade game than a sim.

[Decenium]

lol more of an arcade game, this is PURE arcade and 0% sim.

[YousefAB]

IDK, maybe because he doesn't need a mouse, and you are jealous of his screens?

[ShimyMovieProduction]

this is cool ;)

[FireeEmerald]

daim! imba thing^^

[LETHLSS]
