BF3 on 3 30" monitors + 4x EVGA GTX-Titan SC (4-Way SLI)!

[Fenixgoon]

Since you have the income for a quad Titan, why not dish out another 2.5K and play on this?

Get rid of the bezels once and for all

i'm surprised the OP isn't playing on this

Thats pretty cool. I look forward to the day when we can have one large, super high res 4k monitor to replace 3 monitor setups. Friend moonbogg if you want to practice sniping.

I'm pretty embarrased that I spent nearly $2k on a Panasonic AE-900U projector years ago as a tv and gaming setup, and never even hooked it up. Quite obsolete now.

I put off hooking it up long enough that Woot had a good deal on a large LCD tv, and I used that. The projector is still sitting here in the box.

Now that you upgraded to titans, it's time to upgrade your monitors to the new u3014 30" dell monitor!

 

[The Boston Dangler]

meh. i wouldn't take those bezels on a free machine

 

[_Rick_]

Why not just get a couple 4k screens? Or a 4k projector? I think I saw a movie that boasted to use a 4k projector recently.

There is an order of magnitude (or two) difference in cost

Does your car have a seemless windshield/side windows/rear windshield? :whiste:

Computers have the option for large screens without a bezel, and they could for multimonitors with a smaller bezel. Cars don't.

Uploaded a couple of more BF3 vids!

Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUut7YvicrQ&feature=share&list=UU0mS1fU2DlsKTPBtxyTiQag

With 4xMSAA, depending on the map, I'm at around 100 FPS which is just phenomenal. Sometimes, of course, the FPS dips due to several factors.

What's sad is that NO game I play uses more than 4GB of VRAM. I mean, I suppose I could turn on 8x MSAA in Crysis 3, but I doubt that uses more than 4GB either. I play Crysis 3 with SMAA and get around 80 FPS in SinglePlayer.

those video are worthless without showing the game setting and without showing the actual results (min/avg/max).

Link to where I can buy this for only $2.5k please!

OP, is the background noise the Titans?

I was talking in euros...
700 euros x 3 for the projectors (no 3D, just basic 1920x1080 projectors)

as an example:

and about 350/400 euros for the raw materials to build the screen

Those bezels are annoying, if it was me I'd put them landscape and set 360 degree FOV view if the game allowed. No Idea if BF3 allows that though.

Why on earth would you set your FOV larger than your real life peripheral vision can see?

This.

Companies have gotten lazy with supporting more resolutions. 3x portrait is much better visually IMHO.

what he meant to say was was full surround (as much as the natural eye can see) which is about 150 degree fov. anything beyond 150 fov would be total waste on a fixed monitor setup unless one had eyes on the back of their head.

bf3 currently allow a max of 90 degree fov. with three monitor (48:9 ratio) - 90 degree fov is not enough - results moderate fish eye view on the two side peripherial monitor.

i got an ae8000 @ 120" and while i don't pc game on it, i play ps3 and 360 on it and it's awesome.

all the haters have never used a decent triple setup


I have used 3x landscape 24 , 3xportrait IPS 24's, and now on single 27 1440p

3xportrait is the shit and after a litlte while you rarely notice the bezels

 

[Midwayman]

I don't really get the 3x portrait mode monitors. Not much different aspect ratio than 16:9. Looks like you need two more monitors to really make it wrap. I'd think 3x 4:3 in landscape would be ideal, but they are hard to find now. However maybe I'm missing the FOV and you're getting better height as well.

think about SIZE and PIXEL DENSITY(and hes 16:10, 2560p)

5 is actually ideal yes, its quite impressive when setup, but thats ALOT of pixels to drive


4:3's dont really exist these days in decent LCD's

3x 4:3 would be great, but good luck finding quality, decently-sized 4:3 displays these days.

Also, keep in mind that it's not the ratio as much as the vertical pixels. 16:9 with 1080p is poor, but pretty awesome with almost double the pixels on a 3x1200P portrait setup. I game and work on mine, and love it. Sure, I would LOVE a setup without bezels, but I don't really notice mine too much. I certainly would prefer 3x 1440 in portrait, but it seemed silly to get three new monitors when I already had 2 1200P displays.

 

[Plimogz]

Solid setup, to say the least.

Where I disagree with some posters however, is with the statement that a portrait multi-screen set up like this is akin to playing with two black pillars in your field of vision: This video, like most others I see, has its multi-monitor set-up in such a way that the image cuts out at the edge of the screens, resulting in there being nothing rendered "behind" the bezels. From what I saw of Eyefinity options, there's also a mode which results in the driver "hiding" some of the game behind the bezels, which of course results in losing some visibility, but also avoids objects which span across monitor boundaries being stretched through the bezels. It also eliminates the crazy break in any diagonal lines which span across 2 screens.

Now that would be more like have a wide view spanning 3 screens with some vertical pillars at the bezel junctions, as in a car for instance.
