Thanks to Grim.the.grim for the submission of the lead!

In the future, everyone will have their own Jeopardy-style video walls. Or at least that's the future AMD envisions.

In addition to new notebook chipsets, AMD today introduced Eyefinity, a new technology that allows for up to six displays to be driven off of one video card.
Eyefinity will make its way into upcoming DirectX 11-based ATI Radeon graphics cards, the company has announced. With Eyefinity, you'll be able to arrange up to six displays per graphics card in any configuration, using either landscape or portrait mode.
How insane can this get, you ask? At a media event aboard the USS Hornet in Alameda, CA, AMD demonstrated 24 monitors hooked up to a single PC, driven by four Eyefinitiy-based cards. The four GPUs--each driving six 24-inch Dell LCD monitors--powered a 3D flight simulator across all 24 screens. AMD didn't announce specific price-points, but did state that Eyefinity-based graphics will make it into desktops and notebooks "at very affordable prices".

So what do you think? Could this be the future of gaming on the computer platform? Imagine ArmA or Battlefield on something like that. I've played it on a 47" HDTV and that was insane! Also, what will "very affordable prices" be? Still an arm and a leg for those of us who are budget gamers I would think. Having 0-border monitors would be a requirement for me as well; having the borders makes things rather broken up don't you think?

Not so much for gaming rather than communications and general display I think.

Looks cool though.

I did not see that thread. I was going off what was submitted to the CD team in the submit forum. While I do peruse the forum looking for stuff,I do not go through every forum everyday. I haven't been through the general forum in a while. Not paying attention anyway. This lead was submitted to us. Now it's on the front page. That's all.

TG is soliciting writing for the "front page" which is a bit more polished than the average thread first post. So if you see an interesting story elsewhere here but it's a bit rough, write it up like a newspaper story and post it to the Submit Content forum, with a link to the original thread.

Alas, there doesn't seem to be forum machinery to allow the thread to be in both the News section and the Hardware and Software section (or other sections here), so you end up finding duplicates.
