ATI Eyefinity

Behind the ATI Eyefinity trademark, thre’s a technology that when explained briefly, doesn’t really seem anything new: it allows users to plug more than one monitor to the graphic card and use them in different ways. Going into detail, however, we find out that there are some innovations, also thanks to the current technological scenario, that are very different from what Matrox had when they annunced their TripleHead2GO multi-monitor technology, for example.

Thanks to the ATI Eyefinity, the Radeon HD 5800 family can manage 3 monitors with the maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels for a total of 4800 x 2560, or even 6 if talking about the special version of the cards, called ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 Edition. We’ll see in the next articles how different this technology is from other multi-monitor technologies.
