Hopefully this and ATI's sucess with 4800 are a sign of good times for the company :)

Can't wait to see these :D]]>Feb 26th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/Feb 26th 2009 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/

Wait, really? I have a 9800 GTX+ SSC with dual DVI out so I'm assuming I can do the same thing.

Annnd, yes! it appears I can with the included DVI to HDMI adapter I failed to notice when I ripped the box open. Thanks to everyone involved in this thread. Next time, I'll Google my way through it from the start.

60fps may still have to wait a while. But we may also have higher-res displays by then... 3D is coming soon, but just imagine trying to drive 3 displays (3 planes: close, middle, distance) at 2560x1600x30fps in Crysis. Forget about a fuller 3D environment with 10+ distance planes for a while...]]>Feb 26th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/
I don't see what the big issue is. The card will likely render the same amount of information but send it to different panes. The hard part will be on the monitor manufacturers' side where they have to decode the video and send it to the proper pane.

i.e. the GPU doesn't need to render the whole scene 10 times for a 10-pane monitor.]]>Feb 26th 2009 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/
No, the card doesn't have to render the scene 10 times, but it does have to render the pixels for each level. It's not increasing the number of objects, but the number of pixels. A 2560x1600 screen has 4 megapixels; if it has ten layers, it's effectively a 40MP display. It won't take 10x the original time to render since the original objects didn't change, but it will be a dramatic increase anyway.

Now, if the card did just send to the monitor a vector representation and let it draw it out, that would change things entirely. That might happen in time; it would be a logical progression from where we've come now in shifting image processing from the CPU to the GPU.

(It might be easier if the viewer wore a position sensor. The image could then just be drawn from that perspective. It would only work for a single viewer, but it work with current display technology.)]]>Feb 26th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/@skeo
What kind of stupid 3D technology are you guys talking about. There is only two eyes, stereo vision makes 3D. Twice the render speed/fillrate would be sufficient.]]>Apr 21st 2009 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/Feb 26th 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/Feb 26th 2009 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/ati-radeon-rv740-prototype-40nm-video-card-gets-reviewed-loved/
HDTV has a 7-pin or 9-pin (with video-in) mini-DIN, while S-video is only 4-pin. Though the S-video 4-pin can plug directly into the HDTV jack.
