[Engdt] Sewell's DisplayLink-enabled USB-to-DVIetc.. 2,048 x 1,1

I don't think it will be eyefinity for the masses just yet. Yes this allows multiple monitors, but people had multiple monitors before but could not play games the way eyefinity does, the games have to be coded for it first.

So could it be? Yes. But, is it? No, not yet at least.

If you wouldn't mind clicking this link and checking out the you tube video.. http://sewelldirect.com/USB-to-DVI-E...Resolution.asp At the end of the video he has a few monitors set-up and most are running like a seperate monitor? Just interesting at the least....

You have to realize though that USB throughput will limit these things drastically. USB goes at 480mbps per root hub, and each root hub is connected to several of your motherboard's connectors. So if you want to run at the max resolution you need to be sure that you're installing it on a root hub that isn't used for anything else. Simply using different connectors will not always help.

Yes it will allow you to have multiple monitors, like I said, but it will not allow you to stretch the game image along the monitors the way eyefinity does. The game will still have to be coded for it first.

What this does is the equivalent of adding an old PCI video card to add a couple monitors to your system.

Also in eyefinity all the monitors are being run off of the HD5XXX card, and I highly doubt these USB cards are strong enough to game at 1920*1200, or probably not even 1280*1024.

All this is doing is allowing windows to use multiple monitors, just because you have multiple monitors does not mean you can have eyefinity.

Why would I buy six of these when I could get even a HD5970 at that price? The HD5000s will do a better job too. For one or two more monitors, maybe, but for six more, no deal.

Well maybe people playing wow or their favorite mmorpg can use this? I guess only be good if you were trying to play 3 accounts from one CPU... If it's even possible?

for the masses? at 100$? lolno

nothing new. There are already DP -> DVI converters out there.
