HIS HD6990 Eyefinity 5760x1080 Review
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Published: 8th June 2011 | Source: HIS | Price: £549 |
Introduction
We have something a little special for you today.
With the recent influx of exceptionally high-end GPUs such as the HIS HD6990 on test today, and the GTX590 it's clear that even a 1920x1200 single screen really isn't doing justice to the cards and their abilities.
What we really needed was a triple screen setup to push them hard and test them in the way they're designed.
Thankfully, courtesy of Iiyama, we now have three screens to run these cards at a massive 5760x1080 resolution, which is what we're doing today for the HIS HD6990, and over the coming weeks we'll go back and look at the other high-end solutions and see how they fare.
It's a monster of a review that's taken an age to put together, so without further ado let's crack on.
Technical Specifications
The HIS Digital HD6990 is a reference style card running at the standard 830 MHz. A whopping 4GB of GDDR5 ensures that even in Eyefinity mode the card shouldn't run out of frame buffer.

QuoteIn the latest CCC you can set up presets. I have 2 presets 1*5760*1080 & 3*1920*1080. I have these assigned to keyboard shortcuts, so by hitting one key you can change your resolution between "work" mode & "play" mode.Quote
the only game i would call 100% in eyefinity is Metro 2033, even crysis warhead wasnt that good, on the 2 outer screens it was zoomed in so if you saw someone they looked right next to you but when you turn to face him he would be 50+ metres away.
where as metro was just perfect all the extra desktop space and it still looked just as detailedQuote
