The technology is called “Eyefinity”, and allows users to combine several monitors and have the card output to them as though it were a single display. A jumbotron in your office, if you will.
Eyefinity is able to run on a single GPU, and this example pictured combines six 30-inch Dell monitors into a single display running at…wait for it…7680×4800.

Friday, September 11, 2009 at 6:44 PMIve never understood nor liked multiple screens unless its a driving simulator where you have a screen for each window. I hate the break between screens. My 32″ is enough.
Im waiting for DX11 cards though, decided not to get a 4870 and wait.
7680×4800 jesus what are they trying to do? What needs those capabilities?… Is there anything that actually RUNS at 4800p? I thought 1080p was okay… but okay sure…um.

Six HDMI slots?

No, that would be 7680×3200 as the 30 inch monitors vertical resolution is 1600, so times 2 is 3200 not 4800.

1 projector would probably be big enough for most people anyway, but it could be done. :P
Also, there are actually some ‘tri-monitor’ setups available already which have been designed to reduce the split as much as possible.
