CES 2010: AMD and Eyefinity6

I am so jealous!

What yet-to-be-released 5000 series cards? The only "higher" card left would be the 5990. It would be weird if a yet-to-be-released lower card, e.g., 5650, supported Eyefinity6 while an already-released higher model (like 5870) didn't.

But will one card be able to give you the fps you want on 6, let alone 3 displays?

Well, I'm paying about $200 after taxes/enviromental fees whenever I buy a Samsung 2343.
Sure, its bezel isn't as this, but hey, it's thin enough.

First off, my 3 monitor setup is going to be 9/16 x3 (all in portrait mode).
I should be getting my 5770 this week.
Now just give us EyeInfinity over Crossfire already! ($100 for a adaptor? WTF! I'm also told it has quality comparable to VGA, which I refuse to use at any resolution beyond 1280x1024.)
What ever happened to the supposed bezel free monitors Samsung?
Do you really think having half the bezel makes these monitors worth $633/517 (triple/sexa setup) each? Better be some damned nice SPVA's then...

Ultra thin bezel my ass to me i still rather get 1 large monitor then 6 pasted together

Monitor companies really need to start research on borderless monitors!

Ok, this is really beginning to bug me.. I have 3 24inch lcds, and I will pick up 3 more (maybe), and the monitors I have already have display port on them...

SO, the "BIG" question is, where are the 6 display port 5000 series cards? maybe in 2019......... We have seen the pictures of them, yet none in the retail channels...

"Eyefinity from AMD allows three monitors to run on one 5000 series Radeon card."

Monitors run on videocards?

What lies behind the Bezel making it irremovable anyways?

Um. I don't get this. Isn't this starting to be excessive? Honestly. I mean a couple years ago I had 4 moniters but then I realized when you get bigger monitors you have more desktop real estate and hence you really could use LESS moniters. So now I'm back down to 2. I mean for certain business applications sure maybe 4-6 moniters but from a usability perspective your going to have a difficult time viewing all six moniters at the same time.

I mean if you back away then you wouldn't see the detail of each indiviual pixel either. And this is not just AMD that does this either NVIDIA and matrox are doing this as well. Why do we need more then 3? Couldn't we just got two cards for this? Yes the PC bandwidth could be excessive but geez this is alot of desktop real estate....

THAT IS NICE!!!

I hope technology will continue advancing so we don't have to see that tic-tac-toe thing in the middle of those monitors....

if they say yet to be released 5000 series. it probably means a re-release of the whole series with the upgraded eyefinity6 capability

Well, at least we know more 5000 series cards are going to be released.

Speaking of Eyefinity, I haven't seen any mention of native 3/6 panel LCDs. Also, the bezel is still too thick (but FAR better than standard bezel)despite "ultra thin". What I would consider "ultra thin" would be one with 1-2mm thick bezel.

The active matrix goes behind the borders.. ie the transistors that turn each pixel on or off.

I don't understand why they couldn't put the transistors that are currently in the bezel rotated 90 degrees and just make the monitor thicker. I don't care about how 'thin' screen the monitor is, just that the bezel width is something that needs to be very very very thin if you are going to use them in eyefinity.

Sure. $3100 for that whole setup - the least they could do is throw in a decent looking keyboard and mouse...

So much misinformation...

The Eyefinity6 will be a 5870. It's official name is "ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 Edition". It's not vaporware, it's going to be released. Samsung's partnership with ATI/AMD on this and their release of a 6 monitor config should confirm that. They're keeping a tight lid on it's release date, but February seems to be the word.

No, as it stands you will not be able to run multiple versions of this card to setup 12x18x24 monitor solutions. The demos you see on youtube were done with alot of creative engineering.

No, you cannot get around using Displayport by crossfiring cards. In a 3 monitor configuration you must have 1 Displayport (native or through active adapter). In a 6 monitor setup you'd need 4 Displayport.

One Big Monitor argument: That's great if you like pixels the size of legos. The whole point behind Eyefinity is to create a single large resolution. It treats all of the screens as a single display with ultra-high resolution. The configuration shown here is running at 5760x2160. I'd love to see someone pull that off on a single 60" CES LCD.

I think it's fermi

Sure, you can get a HDTV bigger than all those 6 monitors but the resolution would be 1920 x 1200 AT BEST.

Now take 6 x 26" 1920x1200 LCD monitors and you have a HUGE monitor with a resolution of 5760 x 2400/

The largest screen resolution available today in the public markets is the WQXGA resolution which sports 2560x1600 pixels. The most popular models with this resolution are (no pecuniary order):

* Dell UltraSharp 2008WFP
* LG W3000H
* Samsung SyncMaster 305T/205T+
* HP LP3065
* EIZO FlexScan CG301W/MX300W/SX3031W
* NEC MultiSync/SpectraView LCD3090 QWUXi/WQXi (4 models)
* Apple Cinema Display

If U want one make sure it's an IPS. Nec is probably top-of-their line with their H-IPS screens which has transparent electrodes (= more light and clarity).

I think there are also some special big-screens with even higher resolution made for the aviation industry, stock exchanges, etc. I also believe there are some prototypes/small volume units that features next gen HiDef. I think it is what is also known as Digital IMAX but I'm not sure. If I remember correctly Nec also released a borderless 46" screen which you buy as a set of 4 46" screens that each use standard 720p resolution (NEC MultiSync X461UN - just checked it out). Expensive as hell it is.

This... is.. TERRIBLE! I mean AWESOME! No, I.. mean.. ARGH! This is an awesome technology that just exploded my head except for the fact that I JUST bought a 5000 series card Ah well, I'd better start saving for the card and 3 more monitors.. or maybe 6 so they all are alike. Time for a third job!

Thank you samsung/amd for making these! I will order them once the Nvidia GF100 comes out...harharhar
