Eyefinity Gaming

[Dirk Gross]

Tried something new today. My ATI video card supports a multiple monitor arrangement called Eyefinity. Instead of explaining Eyefinity, you can watch this video of it:

For a crazy setup, watch this one:

I upgraded to a new 24" 1920 x 1200 monitor, but set the previous one next to it in a dual monitor setup (also a 24" 1920 x 1200) and tried out eyefinity in 3840 x 1200 resolution. Fired up an HPS game and viola! Huge map all on the screen(s)! This could be pretty useful for the big map scenarios. You can rotate them and run 2400 x 1920 too (portrait mode).

Although Eyefinity has been touted for FPS games, it could be pretty useful for any games that use large maps too like some of the HPS scenarios. I think it's even better for map based screens than the FPS. Kind of like setting up those old cardboard maps before computers.
