nice! I've used one of those, rarely see them in peoples houses though haha.

What game is he playing in that video?

[neanderpaul]

I don't know. I'm not a gamer.

Wow... I think what impressed me more than the screens even is the way his hand is in the exact same spot as on the wheel as the hand in the game, and how well it moves exactly with him as he goes around turns... instant feedback on the screen from what he is doing.

Dirt 3 from Codemasters. There are tons of games that work with Eyefinity. FPS and racing games seem to benefit the most from the extra screen real estate. It's much easier for me to tell where I am on track when I'm racing, plus I can see cars beside me instead of having to guess or try to see them in the mirrors.

Yeah, I don't think I'd be able to play a game where the screen doesn't react at the same time as the input device...that would drive me crazy. I just got this setup 2 days ago and color me impressed, I will never go back to one screen gaming again!


Thanks for the comments!

Nice! Much jealousy here. I just have the Logitech Driving Force Wheel & pedal setup with 1 tv.. how lame haha

Its pretty nice... I still prefer my Miata to any racing game though Unless you strap a screen to the roof its hard to recreate that feeling Though I do realize that most folks don't live 5 mins from some of the best mountain driving GA has to offer.

pretty nice, do you play any cod or halo/battlefield?

[Flyin4stroke]

You sir are the man. I just started getting into pc gaming recently after I picked up a 3d television. Download all the old video games and run a stereoscopic 3d program and I can play supersmash bros or any other games in 3d even playstation games. That's a legit setup all matching monitors, big money.

not too much anymore. i played Quake 1 and Quake 3 for an ungodly amount of hours years ago and basically got burned out on first person shooters. I pick 'em up and play them once in a while but not recently. I did try some Battlefield Bad Company 2 on my rig and the extra monitors make it pretty amazing to play...I may pick up BF3 when it comes out and try some MP action.

yeah, def not cheap! the cockpit and 3 monitors came out to around $1500, not including the extra hardware to play the actual games, such as the computer and controllers.

considering this will last me for quite a few years(i hope), i can't complain too much about the price. im always looking for the next big thing to help immersiveness in games and multi-monitor is def the way to go right now, imo. current crop of graphics cards aren't quite powerful enough to run 3 monitors all in 3d at high resolution, maybe 3 more generations of video cards and they will be capable.


thanks for looking, guys.
