Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 5:29 pm
Hey guys I need some help pls.
Our great dictator has shown me a link that has got me intrigued. Its about ATI´s new graphic card and its Eyefinity technology. I would like 2 know if my comp can actually take advantage of it. MayB ill treat myself 2 this 4 christmas, mayB i wont. depends on ur responses.
So before I start 2 throw out unessecary questions Id like 2 know what I need 2 print screen in order for u Tech geniusus need in order 2 let me know more about if I can or not use this at home.
What I do know is that Im using a quad core 2 duo @ 2.8MHz with 2 gigs of Ram ( donno if its DDR2 or not and donno the speed of it either, neither do I know if its in dual channel or not). Im running a Motherboard which has got PCI 16x PCI Express and is SLI rdy. Im using Windows Vista 32 bits version and have a 24" Samsung monitor connected via DVI into my 8800GTS NVidia card. Thats about all I can think of atm.

This guy talks about a native display port monitor. wth is that? Is it a special monitor? Can u pls give me a link with prices. I can I check if my current monitor is 1 of those?
Also Im having trouble finding the price for the Ati Radeon 5870. Jim mentioned another card, weaker, that I could use in crossfire which would be better than using the better 1 by itself.
Most importantly. Will I b able 2 use eyefinity with AoE or is it for "special" games only, and if so what designation do those games have? multi screen option perhaps?
