OK this is an idea

5x 1680x1050 in portarit mode
so 5250x1680 res

one 5xxx gpu + display port adapter @ dvi so I will have 3 dvi on gpu + to three DVI matrox triplehead2go from one dvi from gpu card
so from one card I can make 5 monitors

in theory works but practice?
anyone tried :D?


//edit
OR 3 to 5xxx a+ eyefinity
and 2 to second gpu @ softTH

so I will get 5040x1050 + 2x 1680x1050 on sides

:?:

matrox triplehead2go + soft TH works (I saw movie on youtube yestareday)
guy has 5 x screens

on matrox 3 as 1 in extended mode and 2 on sides

so system saw 3 physical monitors only - |side| |main| |side|

so matrox + sofTH works, so in theory eyefinity + softth should works too
but I think I will be pionier in this , need only to wait for active dp @ dvi adapter

I was the original person to initiall do Th2G+SoftTH. I can tell you right now Portrait mode won't work on Th2G. Your theory will work up to 8000 or 8192 pixels wide total but not wider. On the other hand, EyeFinity on 3 screens portrait and SoftTH for the outside 2 "might" work. You'll have to be the first to do it like I did with Th2G a few years ago. There always has to be someone to take the first step with exotic display configurations.

Personally, I'd just wait for the 5870 EyeFinity6 six port card to come to market. Keep it simple, don't limit yourself by using something obscure. EyeFinity+SoftTH is way too obscure to get proper support with anything.

Ofcourse it works, it's under 8k pixel width. :wink:

Here is 7680x1200 I did in 2008:

looks awesome, but for shooters with crosshair a setup with odd-number monitors is recommended i think, don't you?
Race-simulators should be fine :D

Yes, even number display count bezel placement is awkward. :wink:

I'm just itching to see 5x portrait setup working in EyeFinity6. It would be my ideal non-projector based setup.
