I have arrived! :)

 
Glad ya made it and it looks great !!!

Is anyone able to run fraps while running tri-monitors? during BC2 i get average of 25fps.

What do you think about my little setup?

They're powered by two 6990's. But because the new technology (displayport 1.2) I can only use 3 monitors at the moment...

Holy

And i thought the new cards Display ports suppoted a splitter? So being able to run more than one display off of a display port.


I dont know if this one will work or not.

Only Display port 1.2 Supports multiable displays. And this says DP 1.2 with a 1.2 splitter can power 2 1.1 displays. Are you having a different kind of issue?

I know, but the hubs that support displayport 1.2 aren't out yet.. They're expected somewhere this year.. I've tried other hubs but they all are displayport 1.1 and then the computer only sees one big screen and for eyefinity to work the computer needs to see all the screens connected..
Contacted AMD about it and they directed me to accell but they didn't answer my mail yet :p So atm, only three screens it is :)
But I can tell you this, once you've played on six screens, you never wanna go back to less :p

Hey guys, I finnaly decided to try this and ordered 2 LG e2370v's to go with my alienware monitor. I only ordered 2 at first since its a no return policy and I wanted to be sure I liked it and figured better to waste 450 than 700. Having a few issues, First off, web browsing is extremely laggy like this, second when I play games it makes me feel sick, third one of my new monitors seems to look different than the other yet all the settings are the same, does it matter if ones on dvi and ones on hdmi? I have some options on one greyed out and on the other they are changeable.
  Ive also noticed that say, during some of the bfbc2 movie clips it will be on one monitor and sometimes all 3. I'll try to get pictures up when I get this mess cleaned up on my desk :p

You are GTX480 SLI? Why are you using any HDMI? Keep the ports out and ports in as standard as possible. Some displays process the signal different and apply things differently depending upon the port in used. Keep both DVI or both HDMI but don't mix.
 
Could you elaborate on what you mean by laggy? Is it a taring issue, ghosting, latency or something else?

Just wondering:  This video of the Samsung monitors that Nick has shows all six in operation at the end of the video.  The video was made in 2010.  What are they doing differently to get six working versus Nick getting only three working?

They are different makes of monitors, the colors are going to be off a bit, the best thing to do is to adjust the settings that are built into the screen as you adjust the computers internal ones.
 
As for your other issues i am not sure about... If you are pluging on of the screens into your PPU than that could cause it... I would sugest removing your 9800 untill you get the issue sorted.

They used the 5860 Eyefinity 6 Edition i beleive, It came with 6 mini Display Ports on the card.  He has 2 6970's They only have 2 DP ports on them.
Nicks issue is the new DP ports are supose to suport a DP 1.2 Splitter that allows him to split the 2 DP ports into 4 to power the other screens. However the adaptor he needs is not out yet.

As for the lag, when Im on say google typing something it seems to lock up typing and then will suddently catch up, takes a while for the results to display too...especialy under the images tab.

Sounds like it could just be an over-taxed system. You're covering a lot more area and depending on your system setup and specs I can understand if you are getting a bit more bogged down.
 
Not sure if that's the case, but it's possible.

Oh ok, now I understand, thanks.

I've pondered going with two of the 6-port 6950 ASUS cards, but so far my pocketbook isn't in good enough shape for that. I'm still quite happy with the two 5870 E6 cards. As far as revolutionary cards, that design is still meaningful 2 years later. The problem I'm seeing on the DP 1.2 MST Hubs is AMD accounted for them and so does the DP 1.2 spec, but as so far as a hardware manufacturer making them, they're still vaporware. The DP 1.2 spec is so forward thinking I don't think hardware will grow into it for a year or two. Most definitely going to take time on the display side of things. DP is also seeing traction on the NVIDIA side finally this year. I think they're grudgingly playing catch up on port tech. Now if only projector and display manufacturers would get on the same mindset as video card manufacturers are. DP 1.2 is so much more flexible and useful of a spec than HDMI 1.4a is. It is a lot more innovative with the ability to daisy-chain multiple DP 1.2 enabled displays up to the limit of your port bandwidth per port. Given how much bandwidth DP 1.2 has, that is a lot of displays even out of a single port, let alone a card with multiple DP 1.2 ports. I could only imagine a 6 port DP 1.2 card could theoretically push up to the limit of the GPU pixel width in a huge display grid.

On my 5x1P system I'm back down to 4x1L again. Parents are borrowing one of the 245BW. It looks just like this but newer keyboard and mouse. I pulled an old pic off of WSGF of that config. Figure it's easier than just snapping another.

Brad,
That looks sweet. Also, could you please tell me what are the dimensions of this desk?  Thanks

It's a 6 foot wide surplus cafeteria table from Boeing Wichita I picked up for $15. It's built like a tank.
