Sounds like something that the guys playing FS9/FSX can do, but Eyefinity gives the game the impression there is one (1) high resolution display (like 5760x2160).

I do not think we will see an option to select 6 separate windows that display 6 selectable view-directions.

I haven't read threw all of these posts so if this info has been up already I'm sorry for the boo boo for putting it up again but the starting point would seem to be an i5 with 4 gigs of ram with a good mid range Dx11 card as this guy had for the two videos.


Core i5-650, 4 gigs of Ram AMD Radeon 6870

Oh you should be more than fine. The weakest link in your system is that it is not oc:d. That old 4870x2 can still give headaches to many new cards. A friend of mine has the exact setup as you do but has Windows 7 and two 4870x2 and all OC:d to the max. He can run Metro 2033 on max settings over 120fps. I really suggest that you try and see what you can do with OC:ing. My own 920 goes to 3.99ghz on stock voltages and on aircooling.

My computer has P6T MB, 2xAti 5770 GPU:s with slight oc:s, I7 920@4.1ghz (aircooled), and 12gb of DDR3. My only consern is how well does COD use those two GPU:s that are on the weak side. Normally when game does use CF properly I can run most of the games at max graphics but some just cant use CF properly and I have to give up my eyecandy .

"OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows® 7 / Vista SP2 / Windows XP SP3"

What happens if you have Vista SP1 ??

It took forever to get Vista to work properly and once it did i never wanted to change anything as that can open a whole new can of worms lol. (Same reason i'm not getting Win 7, i'll be troubleshooting for a month )

Sorry if this has been answered, did not have time to look thru 36 pages.

I can second that. After having to work on Vista for a few months during my army time as a conscript, i can say it was a deeply traumatic experience, i hated them

Excuse me while i ramble on for a while, some of you might enjoy the story...
At some point i was attached to a junior officer who took care of the wing's informatics, networks and so on (which naturally didn't run on windows ). My job was to do maintenance work when people called us about PC problems, plus we had to compile a weekly briefing for the unit's commanding officer (a brigadier with a few thousand hours in mirage 2000s). This we usually did on powerpoint with a PC that ran Vista.

Now, the unit i served in didn't operate aircraft, but it still had an important job and lots of things to keep track of. The wing in question is responsible for half the air-defence network of the country and operates patriot missile systems, plus some of its squadrons are situated in different parts of the country.
Well, every week we had to compile an inventory of everything for the briefing, ranging from the amount of personnel and patriot spare parts right down to food rations, point defence flak gun status (operational/under maintenance/unserviceable and in such a case which part failed) and even the amount of individual ammunition rounds for each weapon, right down to our rifles and pistols. After all this there was the secret operational reports (which i naturally lacked clearance to work on) and descriptions of whatever training activities we were involved in. All of this information was broken up in parts where each squadron had its relevant officers supply the data once per week.

Well, there's nothing worse than having a bunch of officers delaying submission of the required data for the briefing until the last 5 minutes, having them suddenly crowd your tiny office all at once for fear of the CO chewing them off if they miss the deadline and Vista throwing tantrums and errors all the while


This experience made me so determined not to ever install Vista, that when i got my current PC i only got 3GB of RAM because the only 64 bit OSes available were XP 64 (limited drivers) and Vista 64 (see story above.)

When win7 became available i remained hesitant for while, until the stream of positive reviews started. I got a license for free through a friend of mine (he was entitled to it through a university program for post-graduate informatics students but he didn't need it as he's using Linux) and installed it on a secondary hard drive.

A month ago my windows XP installation crashed badly due to file system errors, so i finally made the move to win7 x64.

Compared to XP it's like comparing a jet or turboprop to a piston engine: sometimes win7 feels like it needs some "spool up" time where XP would respond immediately, but overall performance when actually running a demanding piece of software is better.

Well, that's hardly surprising since you limited the ram to 3gig. I notice upon visiting my parents that their i5 with 3gigs cranks the hdd whilst my 8400(@3.8ghz) with 4gigs just opens things quite quickly in comparison (both win7 64bit).

I had the same attitude to XP when it came out. It took a complete OS failure at a LAN event to make me install XP, and I was very unhappy about it, whilst the friendly chaps helping me politely waited for me to stop being a dick.

Once I had mouse accel sorted, I thought XP was actually very good.

I shifted to Win 7 quite early on and completely refused to boot to XP ever again.

And in the spirit of completeness: Vista was xxxx .

Edit:: Blackdog, just curious: why do you always make such bloody long posts? Not in any way complaining, just asking
