I still make mine too (with rotating nut like on TMW and cables inside) http://www.simpit.co.nz . I have sometimes problems with customs if they don't get response from recipient otherwise it's ok)

new experiment with curved shaft

Incredible :) awesome job

the latest update might have fixed it. I'll have a look tonight if it is just wishful thinking or not :)

you can also use the nvidia surround or ati eyefinity bezel compensation (very much the same as the matrox)

the 980Ti might struggle occasionally but lot depends on your FOV and tweaking the settings. You can compensate for the bezels within DCS really well by selecting the "3 screen" in settings and editing the config file for that particular view in "Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup" "viewDx = -1.01;" (you might need to tweak the value)

yep, Edit: actually it's $2000Usd including 2x projectors) From the point of the thread (4K gaming) it is perfectly doable and pretty good fun. even r9 390x can handle dcs in 4K and multiple views (with some eye candy down of course) if you want to run 8K system you need radeon duo and 12K is a slideshow no matter what :D. I think nvidia will be able to do good 4K as soon as the new pascal API gets implemented (at the moment I haven't had much luck with it). On the other hand nvidia is more advanced with the nvidia 3D vision which is interesting as well.

So what you are saying is that single r9 290 (if what you stated would be true) can significantly outperform the brand new GTX 1080 with no sweat??? Come on, you can't be serious :D - because with solo card I always have the xfire tick off and if you are right it would be pretty embarrassing for nvidia and all the review sites. This is the card running 6 HD projectors in totals resolution of 5760 x 2160 (bit over FULL 4K) simultaneously rendering 3 views covering 270º by 100º with everything pretty much on max with over 60 - 90 FPS ... please tell me the story how it is just crossfire r290 (xfire was off and it doesn't work with P3D anyways) I can see how some of the stuff can confuse people if you actually never seen the card. Yes - it's based on r9 290 but it's the same difference as having 2 single core CPUs or 1 dual core CPU (it might be little bit easier to understand it if you look at it this way)

I thought you must have read it somewhere, I'm certain if you ever owned the card you would know it's just not true. I'm trying (with the real card - not just reading stuff) and what you are saying is just not adding up in any way with what you are saying

Sorry - I have the card here and what you are saying is wrong. where are you getting that nonsense from?

That's a myth somebody spread around to harm the cards reputation but it's complete unadulterated BS - 295x2 is NOT crossfire and there is no magic tick box you could disable to reduce the performance down to single r290 (I have had it for almost 2 years now). It's a single card

could be a driver issue then, have you tried some older ones?

the r9 295x2 is single card and it's not using crossfire. I've tried some xfire configurations with r290 and r390 and it was substantial boost. I'm not sure how the 490 would behave as I haven't tried it yet. the CF on ATI is via PCI link so it's lot more flexible and reliable

get R9 295x2 or Radeon Duo - I can run 6K with 3 views rendered simultaneously on 120 - 160fps - you'll need fast hdd, CPU and memory to feed it though - the cards are data hungry and bottleneck can lower the performance significantly. 4K is absolutely no sweat even with everything on max

nope, it's the GTX 1080 and nvidia driver problem. I have the same issue. I recently swapped from r9 295x2 (no issues) and the gtx1080 is noticeably slower and has micro stutters when you get close to the ground. (but it is still faster than the 980Ti - the 980Ti has no stutter).
