Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 review - Eyefinity6 Video examples

Unigine Heaven Benchmark

The heaven benchmark actually is a DX11 title. For whatever reason it would not run in DX11 mode in Vista, despite DirectX being updated to the latest build.  So you are looking at the 3D Engine rendering 5kx2k in DX9 for a change. Overall performance was above the 20 FPS, but as you can see .. the benchmark is struggling, it is just sooo heavy on the GPUs (which it is designed for). Great to look at, with Eyefinit though. Very impressive. AA is disabled. Bezel correction is applied, and that certainly looks good.

Half Life 2 EP1

Well we couldn't leave it out now could we?. HL2 is once again a nice example of where Eyefinity with six monitors works really well. With the 3D engine aging feel free to flick on hefty AA levels and the game will still produce awesome numbers. With 8xMSAA we still averaged out at 80 frames per second. Have a look at how rusty I have gotten where ol Hilbert used to be the l33t king Gordon!

Anno 1404

One of the games a played till I dropped was Anno 1404. RTS games work really well with so many monitors. You are not hindered by the Bezel that much (bezel correction was off btw). Overall, framerates were quite okay. This title was however limited by the Phenom II X4 955 BE processor. More screens equals more components and objects to deal with in this RTS and that requires a lot of horsepower. Still as you'll notice, the frame rates are fairy okay, even with big cities. An excellent title for Eyefinity with six monitors. Check it out.
