lolol 7680x1600 on a m17x

So, after completing half of my long term project, being an eyefinity setup.
I decided to test my screens on my m17x before I get my official rig and move into finally getting a desktop or whatever fits the need; results below.

TBH I was amazed with the performance I could get and that I could actually get 7680x1600 working with the machine with no issues.
Keep in mind, all this is running off a single carded M17X with a 7970m and a 3630QM.
One monitor has been directly connected to HDMI and the other two through display port / mini-dp - One daisychaining off the second monitor and the u2913M ultrawide is running off the VGA
3x Dell u3014 30 inch IPS monitors. Got them all as Dell outlet refurbished, I don't think I could've afforded them new... Either way, I'm pretty happy, especially with an 8MS delivery time.

Anyway, enjoy. I'm still beside myself over how rediculously great this is AND the fact that i got it to work LOL.
Side note: If only the 680'S/780'S had surround compatibility - I can't run more than one monitor at 2560 1600 on my 680M's!

Note: Apologies about the blurryness, looks like the galaxy note is pretty terrible at catching moving pictures -_-


Console Emulation: - Both these are more demanding applications on a CPU though, so please keep this in mind.


Project 64 - Nintendo 64 Emulator - Pretty easy to run actually.




Dolphin - Nintendo Gamecube Emulator - Can run pretty much EVERYTHING comfortably without any form of edge smoothing though, AA has to be turned off completley otherwise baibai FPS even at 2x, the video ram can't cope with both AA and the Resolution Display.




WoW - Have to turn AA off again but can still get 50-60 FPS with ultra selected as the default for video settings was battling in AV with around 30-60 People close by and was still performing pretty well, dipping to about probably 30-35
Video ram was sitting on roughly 1-1.2GB

Skyrim: Getting between 25-30 FPS Has AA turned off, but everything else on ultra or w/e



If anyone is interested in the performance of certain games, let me know Just as long as they're not "too demanding"

And no, I will not test crysis again, haha, oh my god.

Will add more screens later

 

Desktops are so boring and easy though

 

True! If only i could get more raw GPU out of my M18X and to mention nvidia surround too! Otherwise I wouldn't need to even consider one.

 

Cables, cables , cables sand huge monitors.

Is the daisy chain easy to pull off? Also the HDMI is not restricted to 30hz?

 

It's pretty easy; you just need to make sure it's displayport 1.2 or higher for certain resolutions I believe.
I only managed to figure out how to get one display working off it though, which is why i put one of the 30 inches in HDMI, everything's running at 60HZ

 

something from the total war series ?

 

More grunt? *cracks knuckles* What have you done to your 680Ms so far? If they are not running at least 1ghz each on the core then you have not even started.

 

Yeah, the 680's have amazing overclocking capabilities, I've pushed around 1050 core and +450-500 mem, They just don't support nvidia surround and don't have the power I'm going to require for this setup.

 

Nicely done. I intend on setting up 900P eyefinity on my super m17X here in the coming months. Going to be debezeling the monitors and creating a custom stand for them, the whole shebang.

 

That's cool, I'm planning on doing some type of multi monitor setup with my system but actually include the laptop display. I just haven't found monitors of the correct size though.

 

You wont unless you build them yourself.

the m17X R4 is capable of 6 monitors so you can do 3 for eyefinity and +1 native built in csreen for status.

that's what I plan on doing.
