source.ncix.com Crazy Russian, the NCIX PC guy asked me to help him showcase this system on my channel, so here it is. He even set up all of the Eyefinity stuff for me!!
The video introduces the NCIX PC Vesta 4050 Eyefinity setup and examines its performance in modern games, focusing on how an affordable Eyefinity system operates with AMD Vision Black platform components. Linus explains that three 1080p displays, whether they are monitors or TVs, require the same amount of graphics horsepower since the critical factor is the running resolution, not screen size. He outlines the Vesta 4050’s configuration, noting an AMD Vision Black chipset with Crossfire readiness, a six-core AMD processor (1090T in the tested configuration), Corsair memory, a WD Black hard drive, and an upgraded power supply. The package balances performance and price, with the performance package coming in at $1199 compared to the base version around $999, and it demonstrates how the system handles Eyefinity tasks in practice. Throughout, Linus emphasizes the importance of matching components to avoid bottlenecks, referencing AMD’s Vision guidelines to explain why some CPU choices would bottleneck the graphics card. The segment then pivots to practical gaming tests, showing Starcraft 2 in Eyefinity mode and comparing results to benchmarks from Hardware Connects, including a time demo that provides a basis for cross-system comparisons and future accessibility for viewers to benchmark their own setups. The video also covers energy usage, noting around 262 watts under load while gaming, and discusses future upgrade potential with room in the power supply for a second GPU, as well as bundled LCD monitor options for a three-monitor Eyefinity setup.
