Game Testing ATI's Six-Screen Eyefinity System

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-you're-just-being-silly dept.

Barence writes "ATI has carted its monstrous six-monitor Eyefinity gaming system to the offices of PC Pro for an extensive hands-on session. The game was Race Driver: GRID, the resolution was a mighty 5,760 x 2,160, and the overall effect was ... a bit hit and miss. There's no denying it has potential, and the level of immersion sounds impressive, but this report complains of problems with bezel correction that currently tarnish the overall effect."

  1. Although it's a tech demo, you can do 24 screens by mtippett · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From the launch activities for the 5800 family.

    24 monitors, 4 cards, 1 PC. All consumer grade. All running Linux. And yes, there is bezel correction.

    Yes, there are black lines for the monitors. I couldn't get the budget to do 24 50" Plasmas. But think beyond the demo part of the tech and think about the possibilities.

    How about 6 projectors aimed properly?
