Did anyone witness the AMD eight monitor setup at FanCon 2007?What frame rates were they gettingand at what settings?Given the recent reviews of the 3870 and Phenomit is hard to believe you could get decent frame rates outof such a system.Is there some multi monitor magic going on that hasnot been mentioned in the reviews yet?gb.

From his blog, Phil said :What they showed was the new Phenom Quad core CPUs, planted on a mobo with 4 PCI-E slots and the new chipset, and the mobo loaded with 4 new RV670 GPUs.This is the fall lineup for AMD/ATI, called the Spider platform. AMD/ATI wouldn't tell us the real name for the RV670 GPU but we will find that out real soon now.This hw was getting 12 FPS or so with pre-release drivers on both default scenery ( Friday Harbor, Courcheval ) and the OrbX 15cm/pixel custom textures ( Tasmania, Australia ). And it was pretty playable at that speed. Which should translate to close to 24 FPS with one monitor per graphics card.They mentioned prices were something like $400US for the quad CPU, $200US for each GPU, and $150US for the 4-slot mobo. Not bad at all considering the heat and power is much better too.The cost of the flat-screens will set you back, though.

Ok, thanks.Four monitors would do me.gb.
