For me even some "dead pixels" are uncomfortable to watch at, but this, with same image splitted over more screens is simply horrible. :wth:

I rather have this in my room:

Yet it's not a monitor, and I know quality won't excel but then again, that's just a childish wish. :)

PS.You couldn't exclude that WoWtard as example. Damn those WoWtards they're everywhereeeee!!!! :down:

anyword if this eyenfinity can also do the reverse. ie split a single large display (42"+ tv for example) into virtual multiple display ?

You can already do this if your TV has picture-by-picture capabilities.

i dont think a pip will allow arbitrary splits. (example; 22",19" and 19")

So I have spent some time thinking about this much to the dismay of my family which has seen me in much of a daze for the past week.

Those who know me know my method which might be summarized as | Look for one answer | To one question | With one call to action....

MW4 used to be my favorite game. And I remember those MW simulators they used to have at some high-end arcades.

The question? How would Smith & Tinker's Mechwarrior Reboot look & play on 3+ monitors. Mechwarrior 360 Degrees?

The answer? It would look really, really impressive. In fact, it might be the prefect game for 3+ monitors. Thoughts?

The call to action? What would you do?

As you can probably tell, I am a Mechwarrior, a mercenary to be exact. This type of cokpit upgrade would be fantastic. I hope the 6-monitor cards aren't too expensive because getting two more 22" monitors nowadays is what I paid for one 1.5 years ago.

ok enough about games! How does it look on the desktop, etc? Can you even read the text? Being 3+ monitors you would have to sit back a bit further unless you want a nice migraine. But then you wouldn't be able to read desktop/internet text.

I will buy 2 more monitors and HD5800+ if I can read text.

The monitors operate at native resolution. Just like your desktop today but you can span many, many displays!

I don't really see the use for most people.

I already have a 24" inch screen. And I have a spare 19 inch screen. What use would I get out of adding the extra screen? Nothing not even productivity wise. I'd have to pay for a second monitor of the same model. Which in reality still would only be used for games. And the fact that it MAY or MAY not work flawlessly with games is a hassle I don't want to deal with. Plus I'll get less performance on my already processor locked computer (q9550 @ 4ghz). I don't have the space or even the desire for a setup like this. Its a nice feature. But I don't see why so many want this. Whats the point of spending 500$ on monitors when it doesn't really even improve the experience all that much. Why don't you spend 100$ and get that virtual shooter vest with airbags (simulates being shot). That would greatly increase immersion over monitors and costs way less. I can't imagine, for a normal user, why you would need this much desktop space. I can already get two 100% word documents on my screen. And can comfortably read 6+ windows open at once... Whats the attraction for so many? Flight sims, driving sims, and medical and work uses... yeah... but how many of you actually do that...

I agree, that would drive me bananas. I use multi monitor display for my day to day work and use, it'a awesome, but to game across monitors would be a bit of a fizzle. It's definitely neat that they can run at that crazy high res though! Comeon display makers, get going.

That is a very personal opinion based on your usage as that is not a question but a statement.
My 30" 2560x1600 is already not enough with the amount of stuff open at the same time.

And If people were not getting anything out of multi screen gaming then they would not be spending money on multi screen gaming.

I run 3x 1680x1050 displays and a 2560x1600. Still not enough sometimes.

I'm running 24'' day to day, but sometimes it is nice to game on 52'' and have a secondary 24'' as a rear mirror or data screen!

And as a matter of fact my Forza 2 lap times on 32'' screen were less consistent than on 52''! Much better visibility! I can bet that on 3x52'' I would be even more consistent because you can spot breaking points a lot easier and more precisely plus you will see cars besides you so you can avoid collisions.

I'm very much up for 3xmonitor setup!

They have always been part of nVidia's 'The way it's meant to be played' program. Wouldn't be surprised if they have access to GT300 ES samples already, since they have always had ES samples from nVidia well before they were even announced.

Hopefully Crytek has learned how to code properly by now so we won't end up with such a pathetic performance (=piece of crap quality coding) like we had with CryEngine 1 and 2...

I do. And anyone working with Photoshop, animation, compositing or video editing or CAD/CAM etc will gladly take as much display real estate as they can.
In other words other than you the majority of the people can use it.

and you have experience in coding 3D engines so you're in power to comment work of some top-notch programmers?!
