In Pictures: Tom's Hardware's AMD/Eyefinity Event
Meeting the folks who read Tom's Hardware and Tom's Guide is always a real treat, whether we're at a convention, a LAN party, or even on the street. It's even better when they're able to swing by the office, especially when it's our shiny new office in downtown Culver City, California.
Last weekend, five readers, who were chosen at random, had such an opportunity. They stopped by our facility to give us some feedback on AMD's Eyefinity technology, which is part of all ATI Radeon HD 5000-series cards launch thus far. No reader was harmed in the making of this photo album or video, we promise.
If you'd like to read a little more about our initial impressions of Eyefinity, check out this page from Chris Angelini's Radeon HD 5870 launch coverage.
Yep, the hammers are pretty handy. I have one in my room, screwdrivers are great for working on the ol' gaming rig.

You're a hard person to impress if three 23-inch monitors isn't impressive.
From what I have read, the maximum res for Eyefinity is 7680x1600, which is three 30-inch monitors running at 2560x1600 each.

Off the bat it would probably look better, but AMD is optimizing games for the odd aspect ratio.
For me, I am stuck with 2 monitors which sucks for multiple monitor gaming, I can only play some games on it that allow for a console and allow me to change the FOV and also add a offset, (no point in having 1 side of the character on 1 screen and the other half on the other screen, it is nearly impossible to play a FPS game that way, but if you can add a bit of a offset, you can have the main action on the first screen and a extended view of the battlefield (at least the right side of it, on the second monitor). Hopefully nvidia comes out with a card that supports 3 monitors when they release their new series.
Anyways, looks like everyone had fun. Cool stuff.
is there any overclocking for cpu?
``Errr... i've seen stander cpu amd fan i i dont think so...
The 955 BE we were running was at stock speeds (3.2 GHz).
