Introduction

Eyefinity is the name of ATI’s new technology, presented officially on September 10th last year, and that arrived with the introduction of the new HD 5000 solutions. Eyefinity guarantees the possibility of managing up to six monitors at the same time: as much as the HD 5000 cards are theoretically capable of managing six displays, this feature is reserved to the Eyefinity 6 edition proposals, that have arrived only recently in the market.

The possibility of having a multi-display solution has become more and more real in the last few years: the LCD monitors made it more possible to have a bigger number of monitors connected to a system, thanks to the smaller size if compared to the old CRT monitors. Also taken in consideration are the heat and energy consumption, a lot more manageable than old monitors, and that help in the construction of a multi-monitor system.
