DiRT 2 and ATI Eyefinity At Windows 7 Roadshow

November 6, 2009 by Chapree

Can we has your setup, Microsoft?

Microsoft’s new operating system, the Windows 7 has arrived in Malaysia earlier this week complete with an elaborate launch event by Microsoft Malaysia at Plaza Low Yat, KL. Together with the launch is a week long exhibition which public can get to know the new OS personally.

However, we didn’t see much gaming-related features or activities being shown at the event except for this one multi-screen setup which seems pretty common all over the IT mall. Unknown to many, nothing about this setup is actually ordinary.

According to our tipsters, the multi-display rig is powered by the new ATI Eyefinity technology, which comes standard in the rig’s ATI Radeon 5870 (and other 5000 series) graphic card. The technology enables up to six display to be powered by just one GPU. The rig is also not a dupe, as the game that is being played on it is the yet-to-be-released Colin McRae: DiRT 2, running on Microsoft DirectX 11.

Talk about all the latest release in one single rig! That is exactly why we are a little bit surprised that Microsoft Malaysia didn’t mention anything about them in their Windows 7 pre-launch event publicity. Don’t worry, you still got ample time to checkout both the rig and the game since the roadshow will only ends on Sunday, 8th November.
