The quest for 6400x1024

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Well I suppose after meeting my goal of finally setting up a Widescreen gaming rig, it could only be outdone by an even wider view angle. My current setup is three displays at 3840x1024 and the experience (on games that actually support it) transcends any gaming experience I can think of. According to studies, one’s peripheral vision captures greater detail than what is in your center view. I never understood this until playing Modern Warfare 2. Here is an example:

and Dragon Age:

Effects, explosions and the extra ambient landscape all play into having one hell of a good time in any game that support these types of resolutions. There is even a website dedicated to identifying which games run best on these setups http://www.widescreengamingforum.com

So far I’ve only experienced Modern Warfare 2, MS Flightsim X, Dirt 2, and DragonAge at these resolutions, but my thirst grows for more! As too does my desire to upstage my current rig at some point.

So enters the next quest, 5x1 displays at 6400x1024. I’ve got the monitors, but just need to obtain an ATI 5850 or ATI 5870 so I can crossfire and conquer. So if you happen to notice one of these cards just sitting around (chuckle), give me a buzz and I’ll pay for shipping.

Anyway, as a parting note… Enjoy the view from FSX under my current rig:
