AMD recently demonstrated its breaking ATI Eyefinity technology by connecting twenty four LCD monitors to a single computer reported Bright Side of News today.<\/p>\n
Upcoming next generation AMD GPUs will enable the use of six monitors on a single processing unit. This means that in theory a computer with four PCI Express slots could power twenty four monitors, a feat the company recently proved could be easily achieved.<\/p>\n
The demonstration featured twenty four 24” Dell displays running on an AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition CPU, Dragon Platform with four graphics cards (the model was not specified) running X-Plane on a Linux operating system.<\/p>\n
Linux support the Eyefinity is provided out of the box, although it was noted that Windows would not easily be able to achieve such a set up due to limitations in its DRM schemes. <\/p>\n
In order to avoid screen overlapping AMD revealed that the driver was making a 120 pixel adjustment horizontally and vertically which rendered each display at 2040×1320 which allowed for perfect alignment. As a result the total resolution load of the set up was 12240×5280. <\/p>\n
AMD fans will only be able to emulate this set up, albeit it in a more modest way, later in the year when the company releases its new range of DirectX 11 GPUs. <\/p>\n
For gaming the Eyefinity technology will be able to operate up to six displays simultaneously and independently of each other. <\/p>\n
In first person shooters this will give the player a better perception of the field of battle, while large maps in RTS setups will be able to be displayed without the need for scrolling. <\/p>\n
Eyefinity holds particular benefit for flight simulators and racing titles because it will allow for more special awareness and that all important peripheral vision.<\/p>\n
The package will include system support for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Linux.<\/p>\n
