Multi Screen Gaming with 12 monitors

NewsFactory · Jun 18, 2003, 08:58 PM

I have enough problems playing on one screen? let alone 12

This is just a basic set of pages to show what I have done useing Wideview software, Multi Monitors and Fs2002 Panel Interior view Bitmap's. 9 PC's & 13 monitors. Server PC is a 2.0ghz AMD and has 1 Asus 4800se G4 AGP and when Motor flying 4 PCI graphic cards for the instrument panels..
All 8 Clients have AGP cards and are AMD 800 to 1.5ghz.

That guy should just go buy a real airplane.

Old, and probably fake.

I noticed it was old, but do you think it was really fake? It seems like it could be at least possible.

It IS possible. Someone did the same thing with that new Matrox video card. The spelling escapes me, but it HAS been done. Its far from fake.

Multiple monitor gaming has been around for a long time, they just went crazy with it. Too bad it only works without hacks on them matrox cards which suck for gaming. Wish they'd make a board with multiple agp slots already.

Yeah, that would be sweet- Imagin 3 9700pro's both hooked up to 2 flat panels? And if all the games and OS's supported it, it would work great. I would love to play RTCW ET sittin in front of 6 monitors, or even 3 would be cool. Maybe someday.

Would be nice to have more than 1 AGP slot but would they share the same AGP bandwidth? You'd have to develop a board that has multiple AGP buses and that would be the only feature on the board. No room for anything else. Space or bandwidth
