The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

Well perhaps we can appoint you as Mr Eyefinity and you can let us all know when issues like cost, deskspace, power consumption, minimum framerates, 20 to 30mm combined bezel space, driver issues are no longer things we need to worry about and that Eyefinity will stop being a near worthless gimmick for 99% of users.


Perhaps you should spend a bit of time rereading what you post?



I suspect there are more nobel crusade's one could dedicate themselves to.

Cost / deskspace - I don't see how this would be too much of an issue. People who can accord luxuries will buy into this, people who won't will still be buying budget cards with 15" LCDs.

Power consumption: Seriously?

Minimum framerates: Again, this is meant for games that this card is super overpowered on already.

Bezel space: You choose an odd x odd grid of monitors so your center piece is a monitor and not a bezel. Simple enough?

Driver issues: It's already been said that the driver merges it into one large resolution and the game treats it as such. At least, from what's available.

I think we had this discussion, Chad, where I patiently explained to you that just because a is not b, it does not mean a is c. This is perfectly analogous to you calling me an amd fanboy just because I said that intel's shillman (that Francois guy) was posting rampantly on a consumer forum and I didn't like that at all.

There might be, but uh, I'd rather people not get swayed by his terrible rhetoric.
