Galaxy GeForce GTX560 Ti MDT X5 Review @ HardOCP

HARDOCP - Galaxy GeForce GTX560 Ti MDT X5 - Galaxy GeForce GTX560 Ti MDT X5 Video Card Review

With the new Galaxy GeForce GTX560Ti MDT X5 video card it is possible to output to 5 displays even though this is a single GPU video card. Enjoy NVIDIA multi-display spanned resolution gaming without the need for two cards! Can this GTX 560 Ti based video card stand up in the latest games when spanned across three displays? We are surprised.

Multi-display gaming has been gaining huge popularity for the last couple of years now, and there are certainly different ways to obtain this wonderful gaming experience. With AMD, the ability exists to run an AMD Eyefinity configuration on one video card, running a 3×1 gaming setup with just a single video card. AMD has had this ability for a couple of years now. NVIDIA however, has required that you have two video cards with SLI enabled in order to benefit from its NV Surround multi-display spanned gaming. AMD has had the advantage, of allowing multi-display gaming with a single-GPU video card, until now. Galaxy is introducing the Galaxy GeForce GTX560Ti MDT X5 video card, which finally allows multi-display gaming with an NVIDIA GPU.

Using specially developed multi-display technology, the MDT X5 allows gaming in 3×1 surround, 4×1 surround, and 2×2 stack modes on its four Mini-HDMI ports, with an additional DVI port for the desktop where you can view game guides, playlists, and more without leaving the game.

The Galaxy GeForce GTX560Ti MDT X5 is a custom built video card from Galaxy designed to offer up to 5 displays from one single-GPU video card. The video card supports a total of 4 displays in gaming mode, and the 5th can be used for Windows functions. Beyond a simple 3×1 or 4×1 gaming setup, this video card allows other configurations.
