Bokishi Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Your card must work overtime if you are to use even average resolutions on each screen. Quad-SLi reccomended. Current 3DMark
Pidesco Posted August 1, 2006 Author Posted August 1, 2006 Of course. But that's not a problem with older games. It's just too bad that a lot of those aren't compatible.

LostStraw Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 It wouldn't work well for games at all. No games support the aspect ratio that this thing would use, everything would be very stretched out. If any games did support it, the resolutions needed to make it look nice would be large, requiring some major horsepower (as Bokishi mentioned). This would definitely be great for certain work places though. Having all that extra workspace to lay stuff out in without having to spring for a new video card would be nice.

LostStraw Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 My points still stand.. except the one about no games supporting it. A few games it supports will look nice on it, all the other ones will be distorted and stretched out. As seen in the screenshots, in most games the FOV has set limits. These limits are something that can make me feel nautious in certain games (especially space sims) with only my current widescreen moniter. I wouldn't be able to stand it even more warped looking.
Krookie Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Why not just get a super wide moniter and play in widescreen?
LostStraw Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 It's cheaper to have 3 smaller screens then one really big screen (less deffects and the like). It's also much more versatile to have 3 separate screens, they can be angled, moved, changed around with ease. They arn't very seemless with their borders, but I think the advantages of 3 screens over one giant one would outweigh the cons. Those 30 inch LCDs sure are pretty though .
LadyCrimson Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I wouldn't be able to stand the 'lines/borders' between the screens in the image, tho I like the angled/rounded arrangement they were using in the article intro. “Things are as they are.
