7680x1440 + quad-cf

[UaVaj]

this is a long shot.



got the idea of three 27" 2560x1440.

currently have 7970-CF. gaming (bf3, crysis2, metro, cod, wow, sc2) with all the eye candy on. wondering if tri or quad can handle 7680x1440 resolution with a minimum frame rate 40fps?

cpu is an i7-3770k, 16gb ram, 128gbx2 ssd raid 0.



anyone attempted this? what were the results?

With all eye candy? I don't think so, if 6 series scaling is anything to go by. AMD don't give a damn about 4 gpus users because we're such a niche that they can spend the resources elsewhere. Unfortunately most games don't properly utilize 4 gpus

yes - with all the eye candy on. (with the 0.23mm dot pitch - perhap some filters can be off)

microcenter has an Auria EQ276W for just $400. although these are B rated panels. given microcenter's return policy - i will exchange as many times as it take locally to get 3 defect free panel.

so anyone attempt 7680x1440? what were your results? which video card and how many?

In games with good scaling trifire should be enough. Looking at TechPowerUp's latest benches from the HIS 7970 review a single 7970 does pretty well @ 2560*1600. I posted all of the benches in another thread. I'll save you all the bandwidth and just link to it.

Flip through them an take a look for yourself.


EDIT:
Here's the 2 posts with the benches

3x 1080 displays... maybe you stand a chance. However, I don't think you have a prayer at 3 x 1440. Way too many pixels.

There are quadfire reviews for 5760x1080. Look at those and then consider that 7680x1440 is 78% more pixels.

thanks for the reality check.

perhap in the future when amd 9000 series or nv 900 series are out.
