When ATI Eyefinity Technology unveiled their revolutionary multi-display gaming technology last year, gamers were stunned and excited at the same time. At last, they could truly enjoy the true power of some of the latest games to hit the market. Though the idea of having multiple display gaming had been around for some time, there had been no single elegant solution till the advent of ATI Eyefinity Technology and the idea had just remained a distant dream. However, with the new technology, multi-display gaming is not only possible, it is highly accessible and easily manageable by mainstream gamers everywhere.
The best part of the ATI Eyefinity Technology is that you do not need to install any special software to start running your game. Most games have had the ability to support multi-display resolutions for some time now. In fact, it is the Catalyst Control Center of AMD that takes care of all the technical work behind the scenes and makes sure that your display spans properly.
It is true that there could be a problem displaying older games especially when you increase the resolution really high. For example, older games like Grand Theft Auto IV and Flight Simulator X really push the Radeon HD 5000 series to their limits. If you would like to run older games at the resolutions that Eyefinity can offer, you will need faster GPUs even if they are old games. However, if there is one thing that you can be absolutely sure of, it is that with ATI Eyefinity Technology, even old games will offer an entirely new gaming experience. Not only does Eyefinity allow you to see a much bigger picture than what you were used to previously, you will see that the scenes are more enhanced and the details are clearer. Thus, gamers are now enjoying old games that they had given up while at the same enjoying the incredible experience that the high-end games have to offer as well. You should bear in mind though that with old games, you might not able to easily choose the kind of high resolutions that Eyefinity has to offer and you may have to put in some hacking effort to get the resolution going. However, the gaming experience you will get in return will be worth all the effort you put in.
In recent times, many gamers had given up PC gaming as they found the high-resolution console games to be more attractive. With Eyefinity and multi-display gaming becoming a reality, many are returning to the PC. Eyefinity certainly gives you a larger screen (nearly six times so!) but also gives you more pixels on screen. No wonder you are able to see more details and get a larger picture.
Clearly, multi-display gaming is the future of PC gaming. In fact, it is hard to imagine games like DiRT 2 and Battle Forge running on anything short of Eyefinity resolutions. And while Nvidia too has made an entry into this field with its new 3D Vision Surround, AMD has to be given due credit for launching this innovative technology.
