Eyefinity Screenshot Thread.

Is it just me, or do the images on the outer screens look a little skewed??...
Gives a fish eye type result...

Also, If it were my setup... i would bring the centre monitor slighly forward of the outer two, then tuck them behind the centre one to reduce the visable belzel area?
 
The only thing I don't like about this is the Fisheye effect. If a game could have 3, lets call them cameras (viewpoints), 1 for each screen, rather than one with a massive field of view it would work much better IMHO.

It is done that way in professional simulators.

Edit:- compare the in game pics in the above posts, to the photographs on the desktop background.

Well i'm going to be adding examples of fish eye effects. Regardless of what people think it happens at all resolutions, and in all game engines. It is just more obvious when at this extreme.

Like I've added earlier you do not concentrate on the outer screens. Bezels are not a problem, from a picture like so and first glance you may think this but you soon forget about them.

If i moved my centre monitor further forward it would just mess up the alignment of the whole setup tbh.

My Christmas project ;)

Not sure if it would work due to the Eyefinity Fish-eye effect as in look left would = Skewed. TrackIR/Freetrack would probably have to update their software to accommodate this, we shall have to see.

As for moving the front monitor over the 2 side monitors does remove the Bezel but it also looks a little weird if you don't get your angles right :)
 
Could you give us some idea as to cost? Is there anything special needed to run three monitors like a splitter or something or does it run from the card? sorely tempted looking at that.

edit - ah just saw the adapter, just cost ;)

Excellent post buddy. You got me more intrigued.

1. I have 2 X 5770s in crossfire. Will I get the full crossfire performance through eyefinity?

2. Obviously there are 2 DVI and 1 HDMI on each of the 5770s.
Could I use one of the other 2 DVI ports on the second 5770 in crossfire for this eyefinity setup?

3. How easy is it to setup for games? Do certain games need to be "eyefinity" compatible or do they all work with them?

4. You mentioned about bezel effect etc. Presumably the image on the 2 side screens will match (where one finishes the other monitor will continue) and not leave out anything because of the monitor bezels as such?

5. I would love to see benchmarks of eyefinity setups actually, are there any around?

I think thats it! Thanks u-sock :)
 
One thing i've never understood about TrackIR is how the motion works.

You look ahead, the view is ahead. Fine.

You look right, the view moves to show what it is to your right. Except because the view on the screen moved what is to your 'right' in game is now in front of you in real life yet you're still looking to the right?

Seems more like it'd be annoying to me :confused:

Currenty eyefinity + crossfire only works through a 5970, and limited, hopefully we will see it with the next driver.

Well when crossfire works, you probably will just be able to use any port on the second card for your third monitor, although unconfirmed.

Nowadays a lot of games do work.
Its either a config.ini edit, a specific hack, or it will run native.
If it doesn;t work sometimes it will just scale a smaller aspect ratio up to your screens and it will be massive -vert, meaning your missing a lot of the top and bottom of your view.

yes but in another driver ATI will introduce bezel management which will smooth out all alignment with monitors.

Google WSGF, should find it on that forum ;)
Aslong as you have a decent setup you will be fine, the main factor is AA.

I imagine Mirror's Edge would look pretty darn sweet across multiple screens - can we have some more of them pls?

I'm going to try the hack tonight and I'll get some pictures up :)

I'm not sure if it does as I think the resolution is something related to how much Data the DP can handle? But some Cheap VGA adapters (about $20) are suppose to work.

Using a single 5850 could you use the 2 dvi and 1 hdmi or does it have to be dvi, hdmi and dp?

It has to have the DisplayPort somewhere. One of the DVI slots shares it with the HDMI slot, so if the DVI is in use the HDMI port is dead and vice versa.
