GamersNexus is going to be SO mad at me... but this had to be done!

Storyline / Purpose

• The creator sets out to build a “heaven” monitor wall/array meant to run Heaven multiple times to troll “Steve” (from GamersNexus).
• The goal is an over-the-top “ultimate shrine” for a “triggered GamersNexus,” i.e., getting an entertaining reaction by making it look like Heaven is being run across many displays simultaneously.
• Because running true six instances and managing six monitors normally requires significant GPU/port capability, they “cheat” by displaying multiple Heaven streams rather than fully rebuilding the system around six full workloads.

Gameplay / “Gameplay-like” Highlights (what was being demonstrated)

• Running Heaven on a multi-monitor wall to show how frame rate/performance behaves in a large multi-display setup (even though it’s primarily a tech/build prank, the key “test” is visual multi-display behavior in Heaven).
• The presenter emphasizes that the troll would be entertaining if it looks like many Heaven instances are working correctly across the wall—even if technically it’s “six videos of heaven running” rather than true six-instance GPU rendering.

Gameplay / Build Flow & Key Steps (as described)

Cheat approach to multi-display

• Instead of running Heaven six times with heavy GPU requirements and multiple GPUs, they plan to run a wall that looks like six displays are doing Heaven.
• They aim to do this using multiple outputs from a legacy multi-output GPU.

Using a legacy GPU for output

• They use a Radeon HD 7750 i6 (a card with many outputs) to drive six monitors.

Physical monitor wall mounting

• They measure and build a 3x2 style arrangement (three monitors wide, two rows).
• They fabricate mounting support from wood (including cross braces) and hang the assembly using wall anchors/brackets.

Wiring and display output planning

• They plan to use multiple adapters/cables, including:
  • Mini DisplayPort → HDMI
  • HDMI male to DisplayPort female adapters as backup options
• Power strips and cable channels are routed so the setup looks cleaner once working.

Strategies / Key Technical Issues & Fix Directions

Avoid overloading the main GPU/testing workflow

• They want a separate power testing setup conceptually (recommendation referenced from “Steve”) so long-running power tests can run independently from other tasks.

Port/adapter order sensitivity

• A major issue appears: one monitor intermittently disconnects or fails depending on:
  • which adapter is used,
  • which cable is used, and especially
  • the order monitors are plugged into the GPU.
• Even after driver updates, DDU, and Windows updates, the behavior persists.

Windows driver/compatibility limitation

• They discover (or strongly suspect) that the 7750’s Windows 10-only driver support doesn’t align well with Windows 11.
• This is suspected to cause inconsistent multi-monitor detection behavior.

Attempted workaround: swapping GPUs

• They try switching graphics cards quickly as a faster alternative to installing Windows 10.

Long-term workaround plan

• If Windows/driver behavior can’t be stabilized:
  • Try doing the video-wall in Linux, expecting better behavior for allocating signals for video walls.
  • Replace the legacy 7750 i6 approach with MST hubs (multi-output expansion) using a modern GPU (e.g., RTX 3070/3060-class), with a signal flow like:
    • DisplayPort out → MST hubs → multiple DisplayPort outputs
    • then use the appropriate HDMI/DP cabling as needed.

Hardware damage noted

• One monitor develops a dark dim spot / dark vertical column after troubleshooting, forcing a replacement.

Final Outcome (what they ended up with)

• They stop the video before the final stable multi-monitor solution is complete.
• The intended end state is:
  • a finished, cabled, multi-monitor “Wall of Steve(s)” display,
  • with remaining troubleshooting to continue via Linux testing and/or MST-hub + modern GPU expansion.
