ATI Eyefinity Montage

A montage of 20 different games in ATI Eyefinity.

Setup:
Computer - Core i7 860, Radeon HD 5870, 4 GB DDR3 1600
Monitors - 3x Dell P2310H

Song: Southern Sun by Paul Oakenfold

Notes:
- Crysis plays smoothly, but FRAPs made it go down to 10 fps
- Dirt 2 for some reason lagged during FRAPs as well despite smooth gameplay. I think both of them have to do with dx10 / dx11 and FRAPs. Whenever possible I try to use Dx9 with FRAPs.

Can someone explain me why we don't simply get that kind of image on a big .. 50 inch TV? Why do developpers not include the widescreen even for screens that are "wide"?

@Thecorrosivepulp The difference between 3x monitors and 1 big TV is the aspect ratio. 1 large HDTV (or 1 widescreen monitor) has a 16:9 aspect ratio. 3x monitors has an aspect ratio of 48:9. The in-game Field of View for Hor+ games is a function of aspect ratio and increases horizontally with increased aspect. The TV and single monitor have the same FOV. You see the exact same picture on both even though the TV is larger. A 90 degree FOV on 1 screen (or TV) will be 143 degrees on 3 monitors.

what software did you use to record this vid? so that all three monitors are perfectly flush

[HydraliskX]

@kornskydiver It's just FRAPs... so it acts like it's just one giant monitor.

Very Cool Build !!!!

Can someone tell me music name?

[HydraliskX]

@Ronins73 Southern Sun by Paul Oakenfold. It's off Bunkka, there's several mixes.

ill be running 3x 24inch monitors soon. very excited, although i have to buy a bigger desk as well XD

@HydraliskX you could always run a lower resolution in a window or with black bars, like say on a 16:9 1920x1080 display run 1920x512 for an aspect ratio of 15:4. ****x512 is kind of low though. I run 3840x1024 on 3 19" monitors, 3072x768 looses a lot of detail. On Xbox360 when you do split screen in COD Black ops playing Nazi Zombies you get 32:9 (16x4.5),

I just setup eyefinity. Great Vid. Gave me some ideas of games to play :)

@dbtor I also had VERY limited desk space, and I found that my 3 19" widescreen monitors actually fit quite well. Eyefinity is definitely worth getting if you have the money.
