getting 5850 x 2 need info about infinity

[rick fowler]

im getting two of the above end of next week for my new build and wanted to know a bit about infinity,for this to work do you need to have 3 monitors or can it be done with two i am looking at the Samsung SM2433BW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor and really only got the space and funds for two.if not i will have to stick with the one monitor any advice would be greatfull.

cheers

eyefinity - and yes, I think it can work with any number of monitors - there was a picture that AMD did with 20-30 monitors - but two should be equally possible - justy make sure the bezels are thin - there will probably be ultra-thin or triangular bezel'ed monitors (or ones where you can make adjacent monitors share a single small bezel (i.e. remove one and clip it to the next one)

right im sorta with ya on the monitors which monitors can you use then i was having the

Samsung SM2433BW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor pretty thats my budget really can go higher if it cant be done with these then i will stick with one

You really don't want to do this with two monitors as the bezel will be right down the middle.

hmmm so not such a good idea then,so looks like i will just have one Samsung SM2433BW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor and two 5850 then.
