by Marcus-Yam (May, 2012)SMX Streaming Multiprocessor - The basic building block of every GPU, the SMX streaming multiprocessor was redesigned from the ground up for high performance and energy efficiency.
by Marcus-Yam (May, 2012)While that card is the king of gaming (for now), the big daddy of Nvidia Kepler-based GPUs isn't even here yet.
Features Key features of the Radeon R7 A260
memory bandwidth Rate at which data can be read from or stored in onboard memory
pixel rate Number of pixels a graphics card can render to the screen every second
texture rate Speed at which a graphics card can perform texture mapping
floating point performance How fast the gpu can crunch numbers
shading units Subcomponents of the gpu, these run in parallel to enable fast pixel shading
texture mapping units Built into each gpu, these resize and rotate bitmaps for texturing scenes

Well, now an enthusiast called K-putt has used a hacked Crysis 3 executable to run the game at 8K — and I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that the resultant screenshots are probably the most beautiful examples of real-time computer-generated graphics that I’ve ever seen.
As you’re probably well aware, ever since Crysis was first released in 2007, it has been the benchmark for graphics card performance and beautiful real-time visuals.

A DDR3-2400 Mhz Dual Ranked RAM was used for the APU to make sure it performed at its best.
The second benchmark is also a well known GPGPU software called Sisoft Sandra GPGPU and though here the Maxwell GPU GTX 750 leads the benchmarks the margin is really not that huge.

The most graphics cards you can fit on a motherboard is 4, with the best offering at most 5 outputs per card.
If cost is absolutely not a factor, how do I get enough graphics cards running to generate all of the DIFFERENT screens?

It is hard to determine if this is something that gamers will consider a must-have feature and something that developers will feel needs to be included in their games.
The biggest feature of DirectX 11.1 is that it adds native stereoscopic 3D support, which gives native 11.1 applications support for viewing the content via 3D stereoscopic glasses by default, as it is built-in.
