In the future, everyone will have their own Jeopardy-style video walls. Or at least that's the future AMD envisions.
In addition to new notebook chipsets, AMD today introduced Eyefinity, a new technology that allows for up to six displays to be driven off of one video card.
Eyefinity will make its way into upcoming DirectX 11-based ATI Radeon graphics cards, the company has announced. With Eyefinity, you'll be able to arrange up to six displays per graphics card in any configuration, using either landscape or portrait mode.
How insane can this get, you ask? At a media event aboard the USS Hornet in Alameda, CA, AMD demonstrated 24 monitors hooked up to a single PC, driven by four Eyefinitiy-based cards. The four GPUs--each driving six 24-inch Dell LCD monitors--powered a 3D flight simulator across all 24 screens.

MACs have been able to use multiple monitors for decades!The limit being the number of motherboard slots holding a video card ,and how to stack the monitors.

Recently read that a company has figured out how to lay down a OLED screen with ink jet type technology. Supposedly it will allow the production of inexpensive OLED screens measured in feet instead of inches with 10’s of megapixel resolution.
This card would support such a screen and resolution without the bezels in the way. Assuming they invent a connector with that kind of bandwidth.
On the panel we have three separate screens, one each on the left and right seat positions and one in the middle ... and we can call up several different scenarios on each screen for the flight ...
I’m glad to see companies have started adopting Apple’s Mini DisplayPort. So far only their Cinema Displays have it. Apple was smart to license it for free.
ATI continues to pump out some rather exotic GPUs and cards. My old Radeon card has served me well for going on eight years plus.
How many to run a jumbotron? :’)
