Eyefinty technology will make your eyes boggle - TechEye tests 6 X 24” displays using FirePro V9800

TechEye reviewed the Eyefinity technology using the FirePro V9800 and 6 X 24” monitors. They wanted to see what the maximum performance hit was from the ATI FirePro V9800, at peak resolution, while under load using SolidWorks and Bentley MicroStation.

Results summary from SolidWorks and Bentley MicroStation Benchmark test quoted below:

“Starting out using Solidworks and using one monitor with the ATI FirePro V9800 brought in a graphical score of 3.81. The next sequence was four monitors running the application and two showing just the windows desktop. To our surprise the actual graphical score of 3.67 had dropped only by 0.14. Finally we pushed the whole six displays into one 5760 x 2400 unit and the final run took us by surprise again, showing a fine drop of only 0.13 with a graphical result of 3.54. The overall monitor increase only saw a very minor decrease in the final graphical output, an exceptionally good result.”

“We ran the Bentley MicroStation Benchmark to double check. These backed up our initial findings - it has to be reiterated, watching professional tests which absolutely stretch the V9800 chip to the limits, we wondered if it would be too much. But the V9800 didn’t falter once.”
