With the release of the dual-GPU AMD Radeon HD 6990, closely followed by the competing Nvidia GeForce GTX 590 we saw graphics card performance reach new heights. With bandwidth throughput in excess of 300GB/s, these cards can consume more power than entire computer systems. Moreover, the two GPUs on board of either product are so complex that combined make up for 11,000 million transistors.

By utilizing three monitors games can become roughly 3x more demanding as the graphics card is required to render an overwhelmingly higher number of pixels. Whereas we commonly test graphics cards at single monitor resolutions of 1680x1050 (22”), 1920x1200 (24”) and 2560x1600 (30”), today we are taking these and adding two more LCD monitors for effective resolutions of 5040x1050, 5760x1200 and 7680x1600.

goodnight.
Great article, Steven! This was precisely the kind of inquiry I was hoping to find right now.
Currently, I'm very interested in running a three-monitor gaming setup (really just to see what all the fuss is about) with 3 displays at 1920x1080 each, which I believe in landscape mode will put me at about 5760x1080?
The question I was very interested in was whether a single high-powered dual-gpu card such as the ones you tested in this article would be able to play popular titles at smooth frame rates. For my own needs, I probably wouldn't need more than medium or high settings, so I'm guessing right now that it is a very doable thing.
This is awesome! A detailed post at that! Please continue to write such great content. Thank you!
Cheers,
Steven
11,000 million = 11 billion
technically correct but do you say '10 hundred' or do you say 'one thousand'...?
LOL...anyway good article
Hi all,
Just a basic question...
All 'basic' GT590x we can find on the market can drive 2 or 3 30p monitor at 2560x1600 without exceptions ?
All these top cards have 3 DVI-D as a basic on nvidia spec / ATI spec ?
Thanks for your answers
Regards
Troll alert.
Translation:
"I don't know enough tech to use Google or browse Nvidia's website, but I think I'm interested in buying an enthusiast class graphics card and $3000+ worth of 30" IPS screens"
Maximum resolution is 3 x 2560x1600 ( 7680 x 1600 )
>ATI has nothing to do the the GTX 590.
>Technically the GTX 590 has three dual-link DVI-I (digital+analogue)
>The GTX 590 also has DisplayPort (mini)
No problem. Let us know if you need help deciding what supercomputing cluster to opt for.
