Fascinating, certainly would like more details. I'm quite impressed with the side views, he must have separate windows on each monitor. What do you think. Also, hard to tell if it was really smooth or not.
More research on this would be fantastic:)

I'd like to know how big the power supply is.
Gigawatts???? :)
1.21 Gigawatts!
VERY FUNNY! You do know that the power consumption of a video card is very low? I don't know what this chap uses, but I doubt if it's more than 1000 watts! Why don't you ask him - or does this new route to multiple outside views fail to interest you?
I guess some are "die hard" Wideview types??
Good simming.
TONY.
I personally think the whole future of cockpit simming, lies away from the current trend towards multiple PCs (some people running 8 PCs!), and more towards a single, clearly powerful PC, with multiple components such as graphics cards, etc.
I mean....it's not exactly ecologically friendly running 8 PCs for a 'home sim' !! (but that's a different debate). It just seems more plausible that new technologies (like TH2GO and Mobos that support multiple graphics cards), will be the way forward. We then wouldn't need mulitple CPUs, multiple Mobos, Multiple Operating Systems, etc, etc.....

Hi
From my setup i get 3 views.
I get the 2 views from the big Nvidia 8800 gts.
and from a small vga nvidia 6200 i get the last view.
BUT as far as i know the second card (the small one) give only extra view and nothing more.
If i change my second small vga card (6200) with a bigger vga card ,nothing gonna change in the performance.
How is possible this we see in the video with the multiple vgas? and each vga is responsible and for the views and for the performance.
Is different the motherboard?

Hi Guys,
I figure that it costs about $2,000.00 US to build a computer that uses the same set up as the guy with 8 monitors. Seems to be a lot cheaper and less complicated than buying/building 3 or 4 computers and then networking them etc. The cost of 8 monitors is the same, just the other hardware that's the problem.
Looks like a good way to go.
