net-net:
EyeFinity is enough to cause FSX to, finally, have GPU-limited features.
5970 shows some advantage in 5760x1200 mode
HardOCP feels EyeFinity is way cool.

Not bad, ATI is coming around, Some good averages, that is a serious wide screen view, I would be dreaming of the day, I could get me a setup like that - I guess those would be good averages for a Wide Screen View ?

Oldie but goodie - :ernae::ernae:

Cheers -

Crash and Harleyman, thanks for the HNYs, same to you both.

things are ok, digging out from the holidays and evaluating the changes to the LRB program that Intel announced in early Dec. same old-same old.

Didn't look too good for it indeed. But changes? I thought it was cut down altogether...

uh, no, please read the release and subsequent reviews again.

LRB1 the consumer graphics product was indeed dropped.

LRB1 may see light as a High-Performance Compute product.

LRB1 is also slated to be used as a developer vehicle for the LRB2 consumer graphics product, which is what we are trying to figure out...and which should be much easier than trying to develop on a sw simulator...

Now you guys know how we felt in beta trying to win an argument with Phil.

That's all I cared for anyways.
If I, as a consumer,can't get my hands on it, it's dead to me.

I also have no idea what you're talking about and I'm quite possibly too stupid to learn. But to echo a previous poster, I'd also like to say it's nice to see you brushing off your 'account' cobwebs here at SoH Phil. Happy New Year.

Well, there's some comfort in the knowledge that you are still employed! Many of us in the FS world have been getting a bit worried...

...'cause we luv's ya! :ernae:

This line, "Having at least one LCD with DisplayPort is required to run a 3x1 display configuration. The Radeon HD 5750, HD 5770, HD 5850 and HD 5870 all contain one full size DisplayPort connector on the backplane, and two dual-link DVI connectors." has me a bit worried.

I have three projectors which I have been planning on connecting to one of these babies. They only have VGA & DVI ports. Is there a DisplayPort to DVI adapter that would work?
