Icrontic take the new ATI FirePro V8800 out for a spin against all of it’s brethren in the ATI and NVidia professional camps, and finds it worthy of praise. In particular, they like the Eyefinity feature for 4-displays on one card.
Perhaps an even greater addition to the FirePro V8800 is support for AMD’s multiple monitor fete, Eyefinity Multi-display. The GPU supports up to four display outputs at once via the four Displayport connectors. The GPU ships with Displayport to DVI converters to increase display compatibility out of the box. Having the ability to output to an array of four displays from one GPU is a definite killer app in the busy DCC industries. To an artist, it is invaluable to have that much screen real estate.
In the picture above, see the 3 monitors and a Wacom Cintiq all running on the one card with ease. Currently working in a lab where we’re trying to find a way to get Dual 30″ displays and a Cintiq working with NVidia cards, this is particularly appealing.
