Test: AMD Eyefinity x 3

The Usage of Eyefinity - part 3

Eyefinity just for fun:

We have now looked at the more serious ways to use a Eyefinity solution. So now it is time to take a breather and look at it more fun, you can use Eyefinity to.
 

As many readers probably already have asked themselves - "Can Eyefinity solutions are used for 3D games and Blu-Ray movie playback?"

The answer: "Yes - they can deliver." Eyefinity is not only to "serious" purposes.

We begin with a series of photos of different selected very popular game (and a few benchmarks) are all optimized for Eyefinity and approved by AMD and uses DirectX-11 (besides World of Warcraft):

World of Warcraft:

Playback of BD-ROM in sizes 5760x1200 and 1920x1200:

Playback of BD-ROM has been tested with the film "Home". The film is selected for that purpose because it is a drama documentary on the human impact on climate and earth. Therefore there is incredibly beautiful color sequences in the film.

Men mere vigtig er en anden parameter. Filmen er optaget i IMAX-format  - og derfor egner sig til i særlig grad til, at blive strukket ud på Eyefinity i opløsningen 5760x1200. Dette krævede en speciel afspiller som AMD medleverede til testkittet. We will tell more about that later on. But I will immediately mention that the player has a feature called "SimHD" which runs on the graphics card's GPU so there is no visible quality loss.

With the above mean, if you sit or stand too close. For we must sit or stand at least about 3-5 feet away from the 3 screens to a large screen - just as usual with only 1 flat screen or TV.

The last photo shows the movie played with player software configured for "keep aspect ratio" and not "stretch to fit screen size". That is why we are running the film at last photograph of the rainforest in 1920x1080p FullHD - but with SimHD off!

This is done so that readers in all objectivity must be able to compare the first 2 photos with the last - and thus based on this to see what difference there is between the original FullHD image and AMD Eyefinity's custom image.
