Interesting, Nvidia is talking about a “5760 x 1080” field of view and the pic on their site shows 3 displays in a row with an office view monitor on top. So what about 4 displays in a row – 7680 x 1080 – seems not feasible (leaving alone 7680 x 1200). But it is great to hear it works for you and Vegas Pro/Resolve.
Btw. what about using the performance graph of MSI Afterburner? Or the really solid freebie Nvidia Inspector – a tool providing massive OC and/or power saving modifications besides putting up a real time performance graph with temperatures, fan speeds voltages etc.

Thank you very much, Malcolm,
do you have any information about the multi display setup question? Nah, I guess with TWO GTX 980 you won’t ever be in a situation to hook up all 8 (eight!!) potential displays 😉
Any one else? Can the 970/980ies provide 4 unrestricted separate desktop displays with up to 1920×1200 pixels?
Thanks anyway

Hey Malcolm, hey everyone,
I followed this thread with great interest, since I was also curious to give a Maxwell Nvidia (I think a GTX 970 would do) a whirl in my system (Core i7 860/8 GB).
My main goal is not speeding up rendering times, though, as I edit most of the time and don’t care about doing overnight renders once a project is done. By the way rendering “CPU only” – if possible in a 2-pass-fashion – always gave me better results than using the GPU for encoding, anyway. Í have seen everything from dropped green frames over strange artifacts to shifting colors in GPU renders, so don’t you think this feature is overrated?!
What I am after is fluid realtime playback with typical color corrected GPU-FX video tracks (e.g. Levels, 3-way CC, Secondary CC, Bump-Map/Soft contrast, Sharpen). Besides: the faster all Event/Track/Bus FX are computed, the faster even a “CPU-only” rendering will be done, right?
@Malcolm: What is your perception regarding timeline playback improvements using Sony GPU-plugins with the new card? Any glitches? Does it run stable?
Another thing is I am thinking about replacing my current GTX 570 / GT 9400 combo that I am using for a 2D quad monitor setup by a single GTX 970. The specs say 4 monitors can be driven simultaneously. But what about resolutions/modes? Can we have like 2x1920x1200 plus 2x1920x1080 on 4 separate desktop windows (main primary display plus 3 extensions; not stretched out) using a single card?
Have you tried to hook up 3 or 4 monitors? If so, how’s the power consumption/temp going up for pure Windows multi desktop work?
Thanks a lot
Roman
