Im not talking about xxxhead2go (thats the cheap consumer stuff), but there graphics card.
They offer up to 4 displayes (and that already for severaly years) per card, with the option to use 2 cards in one pc. Making it able to use 8 displays.
All that was already back available in 2007.

Yeah, but ATI is offering six displays per card up to four cards. Surely there won't be any great needs for this even in medical purposes but I've seen five or six quite often (three screens + two/three projectors). Even if Matrox has a good share of those right now, competition could never be bad?

What define mainly a fanboy is his choice of words and its narrow mind.
It never came to your mind that I was overclocking before you was even born? :shrug:

Choose your words better if you don't want people to call you a fan boy. :yepp:

check US ,France or canada constitution, or the human rights ... it says that I have the right to freedom of speetch, and beeing an intel employee does not take this away, because nothing can.

ON TOPIC:
This new AMD 58xx rocks! my 3 dells 30" are waiting for this baby ... Youpi!

Well, his opinion is as justified as yours, check the constitutions. ;)

And yeah, the 58XX looks to be a great series, I've got my cash waiting for the 5870/5870X2 and three new LCDs :D

I checked the constitution's and they dont say anything about freedom of speetch :p:

How much does the 4890 eat up while loaded only card??

Also seems that 5870 x2 will be quite well priced then :up: Happy i am waiting for a month or so more.

HD4890 consumes ~130-140W on average in 3D.
With official board power of 190W. ;)

Medical imagery (X-Rays, Ultrasound, MRI, PET, CAT scans) users love high resolution screens and I don't think they would be too bothered about the panel edges. Eyefinity cards (even low end as far as gaming is concerned) would be a bonus here as instead of buying a card and two triple head adapters you can run six screens from one card..

Yeah, I know and that was what I was getting at. They use multiple screens already so I don't believe they're that affected by panel edges since they want multiple images shown at the same time (sizes, angles, contrast, method etc), not one huge picture. For them Juniper seems like a very good deal.

Large numbers of displays isn't everything, especial in medical environments. What counts there the most, is to displayable grayscals, so high LUTs on the gfx and the monitor.

There isn't a CPU coming within the next two years that will able to run three 5870s without a significant bottleneck.

I'd be interesting! (3x 1920 x 1200, 27" Dell Monitors) = 5,760 x 1,600.

FPS anyone?

these cards are monsters... cpu power is not relevant anymore for 70%+ of all games worth talking about

not to mention the next generation of cards, due in max. 18 months:D
we need higher resolution monitors now, pronto....

6 monitor constellations are not really viable

edit: sure, x8 hemlock cards^^ havnt heard of a miracle driver, not yet:up:...
x4 is certainly possible, but nothing new... weve seen that for years

Well, while my cpu may not be the best, I don't imagine it hugely blocking a single card much if at all. Even a dual card card (5870 x2 or gtx295 for example).

I have a q9550 at 4 ghz. So... I'M REHDEH!

LOL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...5xxx.29_series

2000w load? what a joke.

that alone proves its wrong. How would it get that power? like 8 8pin connectors? what kinda psu even has that many.
09-12-2009, 05:01 PM

something like this?^^

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/436/1/

adapters, at the ready by the dozen^^
09-12-2009, 05:05 PM
orangekiwii

still... like no one would buy it

at 2000$ a pop and the requirement of a ridiculous power supply that probably doesn't even fit in 99% of cases (wouldn't even fit in my tj07 without removing hdd cages)

scaling itself would be horrible unless they got the on board CF/mcm working and even then at 80% scaling... the most you could hope for is 640% of a normal 5870 so its just a waste of money

LOL!

5870X8 has a 2000 watt TDP!

I think whoever is editing that Wiki article is thinking of a Pc with 2 5870x2's and another with 4 5870x2's. So two cards, and four cards. How in the world could you have one card with 8 GPU's and a 2000watt power draw!?!?!

LOL

edit: unless its the 295 sonic ultra with eleven 8-pin PEG:
