15360 x 2880

[James15360]

15360 x 2880 = 3 (5120 x 2880) Is this possible and can it be used for gaming? Does any one have it? If so, prove it and I will call you Sensei and render what ever homage you demand.

What a first post lol

Probably possible, can be used for gaming? Doubtful.  Games & NVIDIA would have to support 3-4 way titan XP for it to be remotely viable.

I mean you could play really low end games. 15K surround Super Hexagon, anyone?

With the "DOOM Retro" source port of the classic game, I get around 1200 fps according to the in-game counter at 1080p. That's probably surround-able at that super high res. Lol.

Minecraft might start to stutter

Technically it is possible I can't see why not. But the bezel is just unbearable

My favorite example of this is an awesome little mobile game called Duet that was added to steam recently. I get about 4000 FPS.

Minecraft is always a really bad representation of power because of how finicky and weird it is, though. It would probably stutter then and again on a 1080/6950X at 720p.

Yeah, you can. Probably even with a RX 480 ... basically anything that has 3 displayports or something capable of that resolution.

But that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get decent framerates.

 

Linus just did a video where he played on 4 monitors and some games were definitely playable:

 

your resolution should be about the same (or less, too lazy to multiply width and height to get the number of pixels) workload for a video card (or couple of video cards)

 

ps. yeah so 3840 x 2160 x 4 = ~ 33 megapixels. your 3  x 5120x2880 is about ~44 megapixels ... not that much of an increase compared to what's in video.

Pentium D + Radeon 3450 = CS:GO at 15K 60fps.

CS:GO isn't that light of a game, though. Lower end computers from just 4 or 5 years ago can barely run it at 1080.

Clearly, those players forgot to turn their monitors on.

CS:GO runs on on integrated graphics. It may not go much farther than 60hz but it does play it at 1080@60.

Yeah. I should have specified that by "lower end" I meant without a GPU.

1) no it's not possible, each of those monitors requires 2x displayport connectors, you would need a special matrox or nvs card to even run them, which would only be able to run basic video playback and show spreadsheets and stuff, not game.

 

2) even with the most powerful gaming GPUs in the world currently you cannot play games at 60fps at that resolution (unless you enjoy low settings with lots of microstuttering).

What about putting in a card just to get more display port outputs? would that work to power that resolution?

Titan XP SLI = 6 Displayports

GTX 1050 for expansion = 3 More display ports

That's enough for his monitors

 

I do agree with you on the FPS though. No playable framerates with decent graphics are achievable on a 15K display

Hmm... could you SLI 2 cards? Then you would have 6 DPs, but you'd have to split a display half on one card and half on the other, which I don't think would work.

It's not only about how many ports you have, it's about how many displays you can tile in software.

You need an NVS card for running more than 4 displays at a time for nvidia.

Wait, seriously? I guess GTX cards have more than 4 ports purely for flexibility, then.

Yes, so you can use different types of cables with different monitors.

I wish they would just remove the DVI already and make them single slot

What's the point? The cooler will still take up 2 slots regardless.

Put a waterblock on it and it looks really slick.

It doesn't make it completely single slot, but I wouldn't use two GPUs anyways. It just looks better when it is one slot.

That's a fair point. Although I don't think we should faze out DVI just because it would be nicer if it were single slot.

Sometimes you really need analog... /s

 

Single slot fan coolers would have to be really good for the higher tier cards.
