Have you got any decent links with some reviews/comparisons between a single 5850 and say 5850 CF, or 5870, in Eyefinity? My Google skills are letting me down, badly.

They are just on the stands they come with, side by side doggles.

I really dont/can't see the point in more than 2 screens. To clearly view it all then you have to tilt your head quite a bit. So you cannot clearly see all 3 screens well at once.

Hi Ace,

Its like peripheral vision you might not see it clearly but if you see some movement to your left your gonna have a closer look, Eyefinity allows you to do this and really adds some FOV to your games.

Oh YEAH,

Love it, i am tempted

Hi Ultim8 good to see you back on the forums

Keeping it real!

Ace, i would agree when it somes to 2d work, 2 monitors are more than enough for most people but 'eyefinity' is awesome when it comes to gaming.

I assume it's one of those "until you see if in person you don't truely see how good it is"

Bit like nVidia 3D Vision.

Im 32 now and been gaming for, well a good few years

im not easily impressed by things and dont jump on the 'i need that' bandwagon.
I first saw eyefinity on one of my mates set ups and was really impressed it is awesome in my book

Ive only played dirt 2 with it but dont have a wheel

but the visual effects are great! Ive also played Hawx and that is great too.

You need to set up a seat/wheel & pedal set & get yourself Forza 3 & Richard Burns Rally.

As it happens I played RBR for the first time in ages yesterday & won the GB rally. :cool:

That game will Never stop amazing me. :cool:

Cheers Ace and how about getting ergotron into stock so that we can have something to put our 2+ monitors onto im looking at getting the Ergotron LX Dual Side-by-Side Arm (black) 45-218-195 and a single LX.

Im sure you could sell a few especially as nobody seems to stock them and with ATI eyefinity the way forward and nvidia 3d surround coming its gotta be a winner

phill1978 · 13 Mar 2010 at 21:26

eyefinity is awesome !

cool setup, i know 3d will take off and all that but im sure 3d and eyefinity could be possible too.

either way if i had a choice of current 3d technology from nvidia or eyefinity i would choose eyefinity everytime, peripheral vision is what gives you real 'be there' immersion especially when you turn the side monitors in a little bit.

cant wait to get my setup going with this tech

Sayso · 13 Mar 2010 at 22:10

looks great

Nightglow · 13 Mar 2010 at 22:23

Impressive.

I got three 24" monitor set up ready, but I'm ordering a HD5970 or two HD5870's in a few weeks when back from holiday.

They got some good triple monitor stands on Ebay, at a good price, bought one last year, very good.
