AMD Radeon HD 5800 outputs to six LCDs on one card

[Airbot]

AMD at a press conference today demonstrated one of the core features of its upcoming Radeon HD 5800 series graphics chipset. Nicknamed Eyefinity, the ATI-branded technology gives a single video card up to six DisplayPort outputs running at their full resolution. It can also merge these into a single picture and create a live image as large as 8192x8192 once technology allows this; current technology would still allow six 2560x1600 displays that could produce a typical resolution of 7680x3200.

AMD unveiled its next-gen GPU, and secretive networked gaming company OTOY used it to power a demo of Crysis running on an iPhone. Believe it or not, it really worked.

Here you go:

Enjoy!

And yes, that's 24 monitors running off of quad-crossfire, hopefully NVIDIA will get off their collective ass's and enable multi-monitor support in SLI mode soon?

Dear Barbara :shock:

wonder what that gigantor monitor costs...... a year ... 2 years salary?

ATI Eyefinity Technology Supported by Next-Gen GPUs

Trying to build up a little more anticipation before it finally takes the wraps off its next generation of Radeon HD 5800 series of graphics cards, the Sunnyvale, California-based graphics chip maker has recently demonstrated a new technology that will be supported by the aforementioned series of GPUs, the Radeon HD 5800 series. Dubbed ATI Eyefinity, the new solution is said to provide users with a new visual experience on their computer systems, by implementing a new, multi-display technology that will be made available on the upcoming line of DirectX-capable ATI Radeon GPU Family.

Oh yea!! Six monitors powered by one card!! A flight sim's dream setup. You get front, right, left, overhead, a separate monitor for gauges, and a sixth for ... hmmm ...

Now how are you going to get 6 digital cables plugged in to one card? Not using the conventional cable. In a picture I saw 6 square plugs and cable adapters to the standard monitor cable. Need more info ...

I wonder if this will bring down the price on the Matrox TrippleHead2Go?

I wonder if this will bring down the price on the Matrox TrippleHead2Go?

I hope so, I'm planning on getting one so I can use SLI with my soon-to-be three monitors.

Cheers ATI and all other companies debuting the future of technology...

I salute you

Now we need a thread on the upcoming Intel Core i9 - The world's first 6-core processor (12 with Hyper Threading)

Hexacore Xeons and Opterons are already out in the wild. Hell, there's even 12-core AMD’s Magny-Cours 12-core CPU. It's not a native 12-core (MCM package) but neither were Core 2 Quad (MCMs also) and we considered them Quads.

Your comparing server processors with Desktop processors...there is a difference there

Sure it is, you just mentioned the "world's first". Problem is, writing is never enough for expressing what you want to tell, especially in such a condensed form - posting
Specs wise (as per Wikipedia), Nvidia's GTX 300 will eat the HD 5870... can't wait and see, as I will not upgrade until 32 nm CPU's and Nvidia DirectX 11 generation. If the pricing remained as it was first rumored (HD 5870 at 299$ - not at 449 and 399), that would've been really tempting. At least if the HD 5850 had the same number of shaders as th 5870...
The inside whispers (untraceable) are saying that the 23rd will be worth waiting for, though... so start hoarding the green in the cookie jar!
EDIT: Updated pricing surfaced:
- 5850: 279-299$
- 5870: 379-399$
- 5870x2: 599$
