Extreme Eyefinity Game Tech Demo on Linux - 63 Megapixel Madness

63 Megapixels on *one* PC.

1 PC
1 AMD Phenom™ X4 CPU
4 ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Video Card
24 1920x1200 Dell 2408WFP 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!


This is a technology demonstration of what can be achieved on one PC. The monitors were 24 inches at 1920x1200, but it demonstrates the flexibility of AMD's new upcoming technology.

Choose 1 card with 6 40" monitors, 2 cards with 12 30" 2560x1600. 3 cards with 18 projectors for an immersive 180 or 360 degree experience. The technology will be there shortly and available from your standard technology super-store.

Awesome! I love playing games through bars!! Seriously don't waste your money on such an old, outdated setup. Get a projector. Job done.

[mavflysagain]

@porschedrifter The idea for a projector would be hook up 24 projectors. This is 24 1080p screens tied together. Due to the space constraints at the launch, they were only 24" screens. If I had my way, it would have been 24 projectors across a very large wall.

@mavflysagain thats not the point, the point is, with an projector, even if the quality is a lil inferior than 24 monitors like you say, you will be able to see ALL the image, and not through "bars" the spaces between the monitors, i saw your video, and i can barelly see the plane :o i would prefer to buy an projector and wee the complete image than see the image with black stripes innit... :\

[mavflysagain]

@KazPeRinzky Google "edgeblend". Not one projector, 24 projectors. The technology is available. For the demo purposes, I didn't have the space for projectors, so it became the concept of 24 HD video outputs being driven by one PC. You could probably get monitors for about $200 or projectors for about $500. Then you just need a 50x30 foot display surface..

I want Eyefinity 1.5 million. 1 screen dedicated to 1 pixel times 1.5 million.

Great proof of concept.

if your a hockey goalie you will love this

[othman626]

Well, I'd rather having one big 130" 1080p projector or one big HDTV than this shitty x24 1080p monitors stacked to fuck next to each others.. I really don't see what's so cool about having x24 1080p monitors with these shitty bezels, just to add more pixels? is that what you're trying to achieve? then what?

Go ahead.. ruin your experience by just raising more pixels, so stupid...
