I am a trader and I've had a 16 monitor computer for years. Got my first one from http://www.multiplexpc.com - I am sure they'll be offering some version of a multi monitor computer with this card in the near future.
Remember for _every_ display in DirectX Display context you _split_ the GPU resources up. Having 12 or 24 displays on a couple of GPU's is a '_bad_ idea' tm. Consider.. 4GB split evenly across 24 displays.. thats 160MB each, barely enough for a basic display output. On top of this you are sharing the GPU clock with 24 displays.. and so forth. Performance drops dramatically even running 2 on a single card.. why you want to do this many (even for a HFC trader - where display update rates are HUGELY important) is non-logical. Most systems that need good displays and good performance, you need to make sure you have appropriate resources for each display, this solution is a little bit limiting.
In fact, something like a triplehead2go is more efficient because its a single directX context thus maximising resources for the displays... just a thought :)
At least Rendering of Pixels. Film is ready to be reduplicated to new format, yet seems Display is going way beyond 1.3X that is usual growth jump. from 1080P to4320P? Easily done with todays bandwidth & Eyefinity. So Computex was 990 Hint, maybe USB3 issue Is Slower.
X68 Hit with new UD9 & UD7 amd. faster mems.
Slow prog, esp if lightspeed isn't as pretty as looks. Talks of 48 Core Monster & amd getting Bulldozer nailed down. larra fades or awaits. Many years Past Since Lenoir. Waiting, Waiting At Desktop Door.
Not Real Raven, Only Stuffing, Says Larra, Only Stuffings. worked kind of crummy in demo, seezing up several times, yet breaking loose.
drashek gentle rapping came tap,tap,tapping, at your Chamber Door....
USB3 Is bit of BUM 4 standards.
SSD Ongoing mega event.
Where can I buy one and how much will it cost???? Haha. I have to get a new one just to put my third monitor on, might as well get one with 6 so I don't have to keep repeating the process.

Obviously this is old tech. If they had used Display Port 1.2 they could have cut it down to half...
Wow, instead of needing 3 or 4 display port adapters now you'll need 12! pardon my fangasm.
Show us Tia, the Lady in the Picture!
Also: That card is awesome, however displaying the 12 displays in 2 rows of 6 means your crosshair will be smack bang in the middle of 4 screens

This box has 4 of the 6 output eyefinity cards in it:

Could we get 3 of these 12 output cards into one box? You'd need 9 slots in the back of a case.
