For those that are interested in Eyefinity and how AMD 7970's run a 120Hz Eyefinity setup in BF3 here is a video I made (make sure to increase to 720p):

Looks great,and awesome performance im impressed.

But i dont know how people can play with those Bezels in the way,they would do my head in.

For many people its no different then noticing the ticking from a clock and if you then keep making an effort to look at the clock you will always notice the ticking.

Couldn't agree more.

Nice setup and all but, I just couldn't play with bezels like that.

Looks good man, beyond my budget for now though

Or being aware that you're breathing.

Yep.

6gb 7970's?? Interesting!

 

[StonedPenguin]

Very nice!

That is just made for BF Helicopter tbh!

Imagine the pwnage i could do with that haha.Its the only time i could put up with bezels though! Tanks jets and heli's look amazing.

Could i do something like this on a single card? I have 2x Dell 2007WFP and could get a Dell U2711 for the center screen and have the 20" 2007 vertical.

I see cards with 2 DVI-I and 1x mini DP but is it true u need sli with nvidia?
I saw 7970 with 2 mini DP and 1x DVI also.Nothing mentioned about DVI-D Dual link supported though? Would it be possible to run the U2711 off the DVI port even when it says nothing about DVI-D and connect the two 2007 monitors off the DP ports with DVI-miniDP connector or cable?

It confused me.I dont think i would go SLI just for it though.

Posted a few more video's on Youtube of 5x1 setup:

Still deciding if it's worth keeping.

It's certainly impressive but not sure I could look at it every day. But then I'm struggling with three...

I thought the same about bezels until I actually used a triple screen setup - it's amazing how quickly your brain tunes them out. Just like wearing glasses.

That being said, I'm using a 16:10 landscape setup, so the bezels are well into my peripheral vision. On the other hand they're about ten times the width of these so maybe it balances out.

I can play with bezels but not in portrait!

 

[Vega]

Have you tried? My bezels are only 1/4" thick, and I am thinking about getting the Dremel out and making them even thinner...

 

[[WU-TANG]GZA]

Where do you live? Can I come round?

Actually what settings are you using exactly on BF3. Ultra preset? High preset? Ultra without MSAA ?

 

[Staffy50]

5x1 is damn sweet, lovely build mate.

 

[MoRT489]

I finally got a chance to watch ur videos Vega - OMFG 5x1 is amazing! especially in the jet, it's just phenominal, anyone bothered by the bezels just isnt involved in the game enough! I was skeptical about portrait (having only used landscape) but it looks great, almost no stretching on the side screens.

Ur mouse sensitivity is insanely high!

No but I really only use the side panels for peripheral vision when running. I only play FPS really and maybe some RPGs (Batman, Deus Ex)

Lovely setup though but having two bezels so close to my crosshair would annoy me!
