One Video Card, 12 Monitors
Jamie found a story that might make your jaw drop if you happen to have some need to put 12 video cards in your machine. Although if that isn't enough, you can always install two of these. I don't think I'm kidding.
just got a hell lot better.
a Beowulf cluster of those?
But seriously wouldn't it be possible to hack a displayport as high-speed interconnect and use this for computation?
Apparently it's so overwhelming in its power and beauty my current graphics card can't bear to render it! It just gets halfway through, and then after the third set of HDMI ports comes into view it chokes up and halts, too depressed and intimidated to go further.
Seriously, though, either my connection sucks or the pictures are all slashdotted.
Indeed. The summary and title were so at odds... I had to RTFA!
...I'll be in the corner of shame.

I just had a great idea, you guys. "Virtual Monitors".
Ok, ok, hear me out.
Through software your computer will generate virtual monitors which can be used to contain an application in a little box on your screen. You can then have several applications open at the same time on the same screen simply by arranging those boxes so that you can see them all. This is especially easy since monitors are larger than ever now.
I am going to be seriously rich. Maybe I will buy some new windows.
I'd like to have a full 1080p with 4:3 aspect ratio, with each pixel having its own dedicated 32" LCD monitor. They'd be all on the ground and I'd have to use it from my glass helicopter up above, but I'd essentially have the biggest screen there is, at approximately 34560 inches. ... Someday...
thanks but no thanks!
but mine is vertical and erect while yours is horizontal and flaccid

I was an internet at some random software company for 6 months...
How did you get that job?!
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
To hell with the stupid looking card, where the hell are the pix of the "pretty lady Tia" mentioned in the article? I call shenanigans...
That is all.
