I don't see how anyone could play like that. It's not seamless, there are huge freaking gaps between the monitors. For the price of all those monitors, you could just as easily use a 40" (probably more) HDTV as a monitor.

You're right. It would be better though if somehow the LCD's had thinner "frames". Or if you had a giant Led display. :)

What if they combined 6 40"? That might work.

I don't understand why make cards support 6 screens and not just make one screen that big.
The gaps between the screens are just disgusting.

There are enough problems with eyefinity x3 (mostly aspect ratio). I mean seriously, there are games that have problems supporting reg widescreen gaming! (16:9/16:10)

because making a 5760x2160 monitor can be very, very, very expensive

i see it as an advantage to game desing more than game playing in 1 screen you could have your game code in the other photoshop for sprites and textures in another a model program and so on

There would still be kids with very rich parents that would buy them. Think about the people that buy a, let's say, 5469$ PC + what ever cooling they choose. It would be like buying 2 computers. And since they can afford 1 they can probably afford the screen too.

To be fair, kids usually don't opt for anything that requires effort/skill to put together. The real people buying this are the 20-50 year old enthusiasts who don't game often. They would buy it because it's fun to build, it's fun to be at the cutting edge, and it's six god damn monitors.

Six. God. Damn. Monitors.

Odds are people will eventually put together triple six monitor systems, creating the number of the Beast, thusly summoning Cybersatan and starting the Cyberpocalypse.

It's been foretold that the creature spawned by this event, will have such an high resolution, with amazingly detailed textures, it makes eyes bleeds when they catch sight of it.

The only (re)solution is to find the Pixelomicon and destroy it, so the beast can never be summoned!
