DDO at 7680x1600 resolution

[Roman]

Just posting for fun...

Screenshot at 7680x1600 resolution. 80+ fps on ultra settings with Radeon 7970. Of course, now that I have a fun rig to play on, I have no time to play.

That looks awesome... Now you need a collar that pans your camera to the right and left as you turn your head

[Bolo_Grubb]

wow

[Missing_Minds]

You are sadly lacking in the number of hotbars you have up.

[Willibold]

If you have no time to play, you could always send them to Salisbury,UK, where I will look after it until you do have some time. Drool. Nice one

[Bacab]

I wanted to say something snarky...but that does look really cool!

Oh I got something...

In that resolution, you can't play Halflings...you would not be able to see them.

Thats the best I can do atm...

If it'd be cheaper for you to send it somewhere in the states, I'd be happy to look after your rig for you. Wicked sweet dude. Christ you need sherpas to carry your pointer from one side of the screen to the other.

[Cordovan]

That is awesome.

[Captain_Wizbang]

Its like DDO in Imax

[somenewnoob]

Might need to do that if I add anymore freaking hotbars!

Nice!

[Syllph]

So sad. I can only have about 4 toolbars on my screen. Even with two they almost overlap when side-by-side. I had to squint to even see your bars.

Laptop woes.

Get an XBox Kinect unit and download the Windows SDK for it. Make your own sensor for gaze following.

Microsuck is making a Windows version shortly, so you can just wait it out also.

OP, what is your monitor setup?

[Roman]

lol - some funny posts!

I need like two glasses of wine before I can play otherwise it makes me f--- dizzy.

Now that would be awesome!

OP, what is your monitor setup?

Monitors are 3x Dell 30" U3011 on an XFX 7970 Black Edition GPU.

I've been looking into a similar setup. Do you get a decent "wrap-around" feel with just the Monitors and the Radeon or do you also need some additional special software to accomplish that?

If so, what's the name of the software?

[toaf]

my guess is you could have 200 some odd hotbars and still play. do it do it now.

[GeneralDiomedes]

Can u kindly refrain from posting in the minimum screen resolution thread?

With 3x30" monitors you will have complete immersion. beyond what your peripheral vision can see. It's almost too much, you actually need to turn your head to fully see the sides. For gaming I think 3x27" would be better. Less resolution to drive and not as overwhelming.

I use an AMD card and they call their technology eyefinity. The 7970 is the first single card to be able to drive 3 monitors. Before this you had to have at least two GPU's. When setup through the cards driver the 3 screens appear as a single high resolution monitor to all software that can support non-standard resolutions.

Many games do support this multi monitor tech, but not all. And a game may support one platform, but not another. For example, Alice: Madness Returns works fine with nVidia Surround but does not support AMD Eyefinity. Skyrim also has no official support for either, but there is a work around to make it work. I've not tried it yet, but I hear it looks phenominal.

There was a free 3rd party app at one time that would allow you to have wide screen gaming on just about any game. But it was a single developer that created it and he was unable to maintain the updates for every game after every patch, so its no longer being supported.

There's an entire forum dedicated to gaming on these types of setups. Good luck with your setup!
