I believe AMD is aiming for the HD5750, at about 1.12 TFLOPS, to be slightly behind the HD4870 and the HD5770, at 1.536 TFLOPs, to be more powerful than the HD4890. That's the goal anyways. I would just wait for benchmarks out early next year. Plus, Intel is coming out with new 32 nm processors too...

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to wait for price drops, because the 5850 is going to cost around $299.
AMD will most likely drop the prices when Nvidia comes out with their GeForce 360 and 380. I would wait for the benchmarks and conclusion for which is the better bang for the buck, in case of HD5800 and GF360/380.
I am going to just buy another hd4870 and cf them I think, and just use WARP to compensate for lack of dx11
I wasn't referring to image quality, I was referring to image size and resolution.Originally Posted by Amit
Most projectors that are "affordable" are 720p. Some are 1080p, but those are usually a bit more.
4K projectors cost quite a bit. An array of 3 x 2 720p Projectors would cost quite a bit less - only about $4079.94 + tax and shipping according to Newegg. And I have a feeling the bulbs for that are a lot cheaper than the $100,000 projector.
That's the point of this tech. There haven't been revolutionary changes in monitor resolution in the past few years because it's becoming difficult to shrink the pixels any smaller on something that is economical to manufacture. The yields of bigger screens are probably horrendous, which is why they aren't selling 30" monitors for $300 or so at this point even though they have been around since 2006 at least, when they were usually in the $2500-$3000 range.
It is much easier to instead have an array of panels. Less risk in the manufacturing process, you can sell more of them and you end up with more pixels in the end anyway. In fact, one of the highest resolution single monitors ever made - some IBM/Viewsonic 3840 x 2400 pixel $18,000 monstrosity, used 4 panels together, and this was back in 2000/2001. Even the Alienware monitor that everyone seems to be orgasming over uses multiple curved panels to get that huge resolution.
Sweet Jesus, I wasn't talking logic, here! I was talking excess! I mean, why would a person stop at one "really nice" projector when we're showing setups with 24 LCD screens?
Also, 3x2 720p projectors? WANT. Not on my current setup, but WANT.
wow look at your electricity bill
brb getting ladder
If you can afford these cards and screens/projectors you can afford the electricity xD.
lol good point
Just join the military and have the gov't pay for your bills
that was a joke. save yourself, don't join.
