    That's nearly 3 teraflops of brute power alone

    If it has 2.5 the specs of a 4870 then it's about 25% more powerful than the 4870x2
    Since the rumour said it has a 25-40% increase over the previous generation then it ties in perfectly with the 4870x2 comparison.

    Put simply, this card should be as powerful as the GTX295 and then some ...with none of the scaling hangups.

    Hopefully if everything ties in to what this post says ...then I think we've met the new 8800Ultra - a card that will play anything maxed for a few years.

    Crysis was a real run on win7, phII, and an OC'd 58701GB, but there is nothing to compare it to, and no specifics as to which map, etc.

    One card can play crysis at 24 megapixels... WHAT!?!
    Where do you get 24 mp? i only see 12,4 Mp
    Also i guess the 14 monitors are for quadfire (4 cards with 6 displays each).

    Its a nice "to have" feature, but seriously who gona spend that much money on monitors?

    My monitor was 500€ and is only a MVA Panels (Lenovo L220x), and my next monitor will defenitly will be a a IPS panel (of theres no better alternative) and that one costs ~700€ a piece (NEC 2490WUXi²).

    Only two of those will be 1400€--- and six gona cost 4200€
    Thats 3 times more then the costs of my pc...

    And people buying cheap TN panles ... enjoy your colors...

    Well judging by what resolution they used for those games on 6 LCDs, I think it's pretty obvious that performance is awesome.

    3 30" at max res = 12mp, 6 30" at max = 24mp, btw ati claims 268mp possible.

    4 cards x 6 outputs each = 24 possible monitors, not 14

    There be more options now when the tech is on.
    one option I think of os to get cheap TN Panels for sidewiev and use the better one in the middle.

    Interesting times tho for gaming.

    Now, where is the card so i can buy it
    4670k 4.6ghz 1.22v watercooled CPU/GPU - Asus Z87-A - 290 1155mhz/1250mhz - Kingston Hyper Blu 8gb -crucial 128gb ssd - EyeFunity 5040x1050 120hz - CM atcs840 - Corsair 750w -sennheiser hd600 headphones - Asus essence stx - G400 and steelseries 6v2 -windows 8 Pro 64bit Best OS used - - 9500p 3dmark11 (one of the 26% that isnt confused on xtreme forums)

    Next monitor thing for me from my 200$ 1920x1200 24" TN panel is a 20" oled 1920x1200

    Would be awesome, but I want performance numbers...not just for the 5xxx series, but for the gt3xx series as well.

    I thought nVidia had an event of their own. No one seems to care.. but I tried to look it up..
    All I found was that they're gonna rebrand G210 to GT310, GT220 to GT320 and GT240 to GT330..
    Nothing about GTX380 or GTX360.. seems like they're really into rebranding old stuff..

    WTF
    They're like recycle company now ..

    a little 24-monitor quadfire QUAKE III Arena action:



    Look at that railgun shot flying past your head with a 180 degree POV! this multi-monitor setup thing is really interesting, but i have to admit i was hoping to see some benchmarks and specs today....

    bah

It's impossible to increase FOV without giving stuff strange proportions...

    You are confusing the ability to see more content from the same image (what you originaly stated) with the screen resolution and size,so if you have let's say 5 soldiers on screen with a 65 fov you would see 3 soldiers @ 1280x800 and the same number @1920x1200 (only more detailed),but if you increase the fov to 80 you would see all 5 soldiers at both resolutions only more far away atleast that's my experience with de COD2/4 engine.
    Now some sim games have fov scaling according to resolution (most by format wide vs. non-wide) and you actually see more content on multiple monitors,but that's fov and not resolution,I have seen a lot of people on wide screen gaming forums,modifying the game's ini. for a bigger FOV so that they can enjoy their triple monitor set-up.
    Feel free to correct me though...
    As for the 6 monitor set-up,it looks nice but even with Samsung's thin bezel LCD's the bezel is still very annoying.

    Hell yeah. A few years ago at the E3 Convention the U.S. Military had a "Tent" setup with a full 300' surround screen playing their own custom version of America's Army. The setup also included a real Army H1 Hummer on pneumatic actuators that "players" rode in while using either an M4 Carbine, Browning .50cal machine gun, or you could be the driver (armed as well). The weapons actually had a (less than accurate) recoil system, making the firearm kick when fired, and the whole hummer moved all around like you were on some sh*tty road in Baghdad. Definitely good times.

    Edit: This was a pretty sweet 20m diameter 360' screen they had there.

    those numbers are theoretical. dont get your hopes that high to see them get broken.

    That's true. And those hoping that it will only be 25-40% more then a 4870 are going to be disappointed too.

    That's why we need actual benchmarks so we can see the reality rather then the rumor. I'm quite disappointed in AMD that they decided not to show benchmarks today.

    ^ Even if it is a little over/under those estimates, it's still definitely the new 8800utra / 9700pro.

    no bench mark on games
    When AMD had 64-bit and Intel had only 32-bit, they tried to tell the world there was no need for 64-bit. Until they got 64-bit.
    When AMD had IMC and Intel had FSB, they told the world "there is plenty of life left in the FSB" (actual quote, and yes, they had *math* to show it had more bandwidth). Until they got an IMC.
    When AMD had dual core and Intel had single core, they told the world that consumers don't need multi core. Until they got dual core.
    When intel was using MCM, they said it was a better solution than native dies. Until they got native dies. (To be fair, we knocked *unconnected* MCM, and still do, we never knocked MCM as a technology, so hold your flames.)

    No, it won't DEFINITELY be anything until we get the cards in our hands and get to experiment for ourselves. It is PROBABLY good if these rumors turn out to be true, but rumors are no guarantee of greatness.

    So you're saying that a card (taking flagship from the 4890) with nearly 3 teraflops processing power isn't going to be as fast as a 4890

    ..yeah

    playable fps in Dirt 2 at massive resolutions with all the details on is proof alone that there's no slouch here

    DAAAAAAMN ...this card is gunna be FAST

    I love marketing :P

    According to Hardocp's Eyefinity aritcle, they will be revealing specs & benches tomorrow night.

    If anythong you should use the TNs in front few, since the have no color degration when views frontal.

    But mixing panels is a pain in the arse, different gray to gray switchtimes, and different latencies (which the gfx can do nothing about).

    If you want so much monitors, they have to be from the same type. Especial for gaming. Where latencies are critical.
