How does ATI Eyefinity technology work?
ATI Eyefinity technology leverages both hardware and software aspects. On the hardware side, unlike previous products which have a maximum of two displday pipelines, the ATI Radeon Premium and ATI Mobility Radeon™ GPUs listed above support up to 6 display pipelines per GPU, allowing up to 6 displays to be driven from a single GPU. On the software side, there are several different configuration options. The traditional extended and cloned display modes are all still available but with ATI Eyefinity technology, if the displays can support the same resolutions, they can also be stitched together into a “single large surface” or “Display Group” (as described by the ATI Catalyst Control Center™ software). When a Display Group is created, it appears to the operating system and application as a single monitor with a very large resolution.
