AMD 7970 Crossfire 120Hz Portrait Eyefinity Battlefield 3 Karkand Multiplayer

Video demonstrating two AMD 7970's Crossfire playing Battlefield 3 (Gulf of Oman) on my 120Hz Eyefinity setup located here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1143724/3x-120hz-eyefinity-portrait-setup

I am playing to the side of the displays to allow an unobstructed view of the game for the camera, hence why I was playing so poorly and ended up only 33-3. I normally do not play that slow, but the server started to dry up once we captured all of the bases.

For those that keep asking "Why not a large TV set":

TV sets max out at 1080P resolution and no matter how many interpolated "Hz" they say they have TV's only accept a 60Hz input
My setup has THREE times greater resolution for a MUCH better image, runs TRUE 120Hz input (none of that fake TV crap). The image is so detailed that you can sit really close to it like a computer monitor and it engulfs your entire view. You could not do that with a TV set as the pixels are too large and blurry. Not to mention nearly zero input lag and the true 120Hz far outpaces any TV. Large TV sets are horrible in comparison.

Lower your DPI. Back to around ~1800 and then ingame sensitivity to around a normal healthy human being ~1.5.

High DPI = inaccurate and idiotic.

@mupp33n Thanks for the thoughts from the peanut gallery. As someone who has won tournaments in the past in competitive FPS's, I think I will stick to my high-DPI fast movement track-ball use that I have been fine-tuning for the last 15-years. Thanks anyway! :rollseyes:

@CallsignVega Do you use a trackball mouse, or an actual trackball? I'm interested as I'm currently deciding what mouse to buy (I play almost exclusively FPS games, and racing games with a controller) I had been thinking about getting a laser or optical mouse from razer or steel series, but would be interested to hear your opinion :)

[CallsignVega]

@Marveh Logitech M570, only way to go.

Can someone tell me how to get that awesome overlay?

[CallsignVega]

@haawspg MSI Afterburner on-screen display.

I hate being poor..

I hate being middle class...

[myrage81]

How much did this beast of a setup cost you?

[s0ul3ssm4n]

@CallsignVega so this looks simply amazing and makes me want to buy a few monitors and jumo off my bigscreen tv lol. my only peeve about your video is you didn't calibrate your monitors to have the same color's and the side monitors look way better than the center one lol. debating on going 3x 60hertz monitors or just one 120hertz for now and upgrading later....

[GuardejnSyreregn]

hey CallsignVega. Make more gameplay videos, awesome!! and commentary ! ;D

[Darkedor]

I hate not being rich

[chowmkjerry]

is it still worth it going for 120hz monitors if you're going to get below 120fps? (in a 3 monitor setup)

[MrSongdetudo]

@Vostoceq i wish i am a richer !

[Poockiy]

soon my dear 7970 we will finally be together <3

I love how when you scope in on guns the black from the scopes blends in with the black from the monitor bezel and it looks like it's in front of the screen.

@Ookarl01 It still stands today that SSDs in any type of RAID array will not pass the trim command. So yes you're right. Intel is releasing support for TRIM in RAID0 with their 11.5.0.1109 drivers. I'm assuming that this will only work with Intel SSDs unfortunately, but I'm probably wrong.

@CagedTurkey I used tape to do the same on Socom 2 for the PS2. Once you knew where your cross hairs were in the binoculars you could snipe people with assault rifles. o_0 It could enrage other players.
