Once you experience it, you’ll want it: a computer running not one, not two, but three monitors. The real bummer about this setup is that it has been a hassle to configure for quite a while, but the 2009 introduction of AMD’s Eyefinity technology changed it all. Running three monitors with Eyefinity is as easy as plugging them in and turning your computer on, and it only gets better from there.
One important piece of the puzzle is having an Eyefinity-capable video card. That’s where PowerColor and Icrontic come in!
PowerColor has been kind enough to provide three Eyefinity-capable video cards for a wallpaper design contest. We will be giving away two Eyefinity-capable 5670s and an Eyefinity-capable 5770 to the winners.
To enter, you need to submit a design for a desktop background that is big enough to cover the wide field of view that Eyefinity provides: spanning from, at a minimum, 5760×1080 up to 7680×3200 pixels. Three winners will be chosen—one by popular vote, one by AMD, and one by Icrontic editorial staff.
Entries can be renders, photography, or original artwork—anything that takes advantage of the enormous resolution made possible by Eyefinity—but must include the Eyefinity logo somewhere in the design.
Rules are as follows:
- Artwork must be your own design—no using any copyrighted artwork!
- Artwork must include the Eyefinity logo (provided here)
- By submitting your artwork you give express consent to PowerColor, AMD and Icrontic to use your artwork.
- The deadline for entries will be 11:59 P.M EST. June 20th, 2010
- The winners will be announced on June 23rd, 2010
- The contest is open to all countries, and AMD will pay shipping, but taxes and tariffs for import (if your country levies them) is the winner’s responsibility.
- Contestants must submit their work with an Icrontic.com account, complete with legitimate email address.
Prizes are:
Popular vote winner: PowerColor Eyefinity edition 5770
AMD-chosen winner: PowerColor Eyefinity edition 5670
Icrontic staff-chosen winner: PowerColor Eyefinity edition 5670
Winners will be notified via the email address of their Icrontic.com profile. Best of best of luck!
Rule clarification 06/07/2010:
AMD has clarified the rules for us: Contestants may submit as many entries as they’d like. The Eyefinity logo cannot be altered in any way (other than proportionately resized); no filters, blurs, etc.
