That's pretty interesting, but I think something as simple as AoE would choke most cards to death. Hell you'd need a Ge 7800 SLI pair just to get 10 fps in Aces High with that thing. Not to mention the games it listed were mostly offline games. There's got to be a delay in the signal, as well.

Very interesting, but more for desktop purposes than for gaming purposes.

I might have to look into that some day. It would be sweet to get a card with dual outs and then 2 of these boxes and set up 4-6 monitors (*delerious laughter here*)

Yep if you did that you could line the front top of your pit with monitors in brackets to have immediate forward and up views. THUS freeing up even more open areas on your throttle and stick combo for commands to eliminate even touching the keyboard for anything...My wife would probably leave me over something like that though.

If Aces High utilized multiple monitors...hopefully in the future?

It doesn't need multiple monitor support, all it does is create one superwide resolution and then split it to 3 monitors. It takes as much computing power as a single display on that wide resolution.

No you dont understand...we have multimonitor systems now....via Windows.   If Aces High would make use of that...that would be very cool
