Still, cool. Its an interesting thought that we might be moving BACK to the big-booty days of CRT monitors and away from slim LCD screens.

The fact of the matter is, unless you guys have magical graphics cards that perform 10x what they perform with everyone else, its just not possible. If you want to maintain a frame rate of over 30 FPS, at a resolution above 1680x1050 at very high with AA and AF on, you will have to wait until graphics cards get much more powerful.]]>Jan 7th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/
Triple SLI/CrossfireX are only useful on VERY HIGH RESOLUTIONS as the I/O operations of the three+ graphic cards communicating with each other will bog down the FPS. ]]>Jan 7th 2008 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/Jan 7th 2008 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/Jan 7th 2008 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/

Seriously, though. You can buy a 720p 37" tv for $500, now. You can buy two 20" lcd monitors for about $300, TOTAL. Why cann't this thing be well under $1,000? They could price it at $1,500 and sell one thousand, or price it at 800 and sell ten thousand. It doesn't take a degree in economics to figure out that curve.]]>Jan 7th 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/
You're forgetting that it costs money to build these things. $800 may not even cover the manufacturing costs (initially) for this thing.]]>Jan 7th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/
If it's going to be made by Dell / Alienware, this thing is going to be produced on the assembly line. I can't imagine the manfacturing cost being too high on this. I doubt they are using unique panels for this.]]>Jan 8th 2008 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/

That why it keeps the gpu from having to render games at insanely high resolutions and there should be no hardware impact from the monitor it self. I am sure you have the option to render in 2880x900 if you want, but I would bet that crysis and most other games will simpley be rendered at something like 1600x1200 and then upscaled across all of the monitors. ]]>Jan 9th 2008 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/alienware-curved-display-rocks-crysis-at-2880-x-900/Jan 9th 2008 6:27PM
