Matrox updates Multi-Monitor Display Solution

[mathwat]

Feeling some serious heat from ATI's Eyefinity feature Matrox decided to release a new Multi-Monitor Display Solutionas in the multiple DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go Graphics eXpansion Module (GXM) support to drive up to four or six monitors, respectively, from a single system.
A second GXM can now be connected to the secondary output of a supported dual monitor graphics card so two DualHead2Go GXMs can power up to four outputs in 2x2 or 4x1 modes, while two TripleHead2Go units can be combined to connect six displays to produce either a 3x2 or 6x1 set up.
Matrox currently offers multi-GXM support with the 2.06 (or above) GXM software suite. A maximum of two GXMs—of the same make and model—can be connected to a supported graphics card with two available outputs of the required type. Multi-GXM stretched desktop mode is available with Matrox M-Series cards, while independent desktop support is available with supported M-Series, ATI, and NVIDIA graphics cards. For complete details, visit the Multi-GXM page. Matrox partners will be showcasing this technology, alongside a wide range of Matrox digital signage graphics solutions, at Integrated Systems Europe 2010, RAI, Netherlands, from February 2-4.

I wonder if you could a TH2G DP edition into each of the 6 DP ports on a 5870 Eyefinity edition for 18 screen goodness.

Why would you spend £203 on a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition – Part number: T2G-D3D-IF $329 USD when you can just use the Sapphire Active DisplayPort for £80

18 screens now that would be some cost...

I heard somewhere that it's a bit hit and miss and it ***** up the monitor. If i'm wrong then i stand corrected.

Whatever Matrox does, it now has a competitor(ATI) offering similar functionality with Nvidia planning some sort of similar technology in the upcoming Fermi series of cards and that won't stop there.

ATI and Nvidia will be improving and adding new features in every new generation of ATI and Nvidia products. If only Matrox decided to make serious gaming cards then we would have some competition.
