What sort of epic rig were they running to get such a massive resolution to run so smoothly?

.....And what about the friggen 24 monitor one 0_o

Definitely some sort of multi Computer link wouldn't you think? Or is the GPU so robust it can do all that by itself? I mean, if the CPU usage doesn't go to scale with the resolution...

But ehhh, those ugly lines in the image would ruin it for me....Someone has to come out with a monitor that can seamlessly connect to others....One wonders why it hasn't been done to some degree...

Well, maybe one of these days, when transparent glass/similar type of displays come out neh?

It seems a single Radeon HD5870 handles the six monitors. 24 of them are driven by you guessed it four HD5870 in CrossfireX. After all, they are not running Crysis...

Here's the thing: the high end cards, let's call them for fun-sakes 'HD 5850 and HD 5870' (totally made up names ) have three output ports. Hooking them up to 3 monitors is a piece of cake. You can though, get some sort of splitting cables that's come out, that allows you to run 6 indepedent displays from one card.

Also, there'll be a special[ized] version of this card, that costs a bit more, than has 6 display output ports on it.

Bill Gates-=> Great post. Ya those monitors would absolutely own in a 6 card setup. Pretty crazy to think about actually.

Furthermore more though, they didn't use those LG monitors because ATI is entering a production parternship with SAMSUNG apparently. Samsung is going to develop "thin bezel" monitors (perhaps similiar to that LG monitor) that are going to be designed to be good choices for people who want to use multi-monitor setups with ATI cards. [Also I imagine they will make a specialized mount for this idea]

Nvidia is really going to have their work cut out for them this gen -- this was a great new feature unvieling.

It's not incredibly uncommon for people to spend $800 on a video card. So you can imagine, with falling prices of LCD monitors, it might actually become somewhat feasible to buy 4 monitors for a massive display, if you are a hardcore sort of dude.

One catch though: if you are playing at any sort of crazy 2560x1600+ resolution though, the big catch is that you'll need a lot of GPU horesepower to keep things running at a good clip. Also, what percentage of games will support this feature? Interesting stuff to be sure.

Hee Hee....Eyefinity is also good for the FBI, CIA, NASA, NSA, and of course, for some HD games and porn lovers......

Well virtually all games will support that resolution as it will appear as simply ONE monitor to them (recent games anyways). I saw some benchmarks that may or may not be real, but the 5870 was running crysis at about twice the frame rate as a gtx295, which is pretty amazing considering theyre also releasing the 5870x2 mid october.

Does seem like it'd be pretty good, but it does still look like there is an edge around it, but a LOT less than most.
