I must be getting really boring because features like this just seem like a complete waste of effort.
I'd rather just have a big monitor than 3 different ones.
Completely disagree with you, having say a 46" that only goes up to 1080p imo is crap... I prefer having a bigger resolution such as 5760 thats for sure... big LCD tv's are good if your going to sit about 10 feet away otherwise useless because for a decent 100hz tv such as the viera's do cost a arm and a leg..
Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
Nvidia does include a cool feature set with their drivers.
However, don't forget that ATI has native support for 3 monitors with one card. That's something that Nvidia simply cannot do. However, Now that the GTX 460 is out, 2 of those is virtually the same price as a Radeon 5870, so that can be considered a game changer in terms of both performance and multi-monitor.

Until game manufacturers start supporting these resolutions more w/ better FOV and make sure the interface is on the primary monitor only eyefinity/surround is useless. Having to take your eyes of the main screen and look 2 feet to your left to see your stats is ridiculous.
EDIT: And this thread sounds like a complete fanboi thread.
Well the OP started the troll party, so people assume it's ok to continue ^^ But I gotta say I'm waiting to see where AMD is going with their 3D initiative, because they stated that they would only implement it on Display Port and HDMI 1.4a, because of a limitation by Nvidia in the DVI connector on 120HZ monitors on the market at the moment. Which makes me sad because I just bought a GD235HZ
The info comes from DigitalVersus (the french version is where I got my info, in their interview with Terry Makedon and Shane Parfitt)

Well only flaw is the bezels. i just use custom profiles though. Say Alt+ macro = 1 monitor which is generally the middle and say Alt+macro= Eyefinity with 3 monitors appearing... I actually had my mind set on a big tv as the cost is alot cheaper then 3x 26"inch monitors i mean alot, But finding a good 100hz tv which is truely 100hz and not a marketing gimmick does cost a load like i mentioned... If i was to pick a huge 1080tv would have to be either a 100hz panasonic viera or a Sony bravia.. Nonetheless though i'd personally stick with High res monitors..

i would much rather have a single 30" though.
i have gamed with 3x24" before eyefinity was even out and i found having 3 horizontal screens useless since it is simply impossible to focus or even see all 3 at the same time. vertical screens may be a different story but my screens can't rotate like that.
i will hopefully make the switch to a 30" and a 24" lcd for side work later this year. but for those larger "tv" screens, they are just and i laugh so hard when xbox junkies try to debate with me that their tv's are better than computer screens simply because they are bigger and have 1080p.
How is Nvidia beating ATI? They're like years late on the bandwagon, this is nothing but a configuration video (the only way I ever care about those is if there's a bikini girl involved) and they still haven't fixed the main flaw with this tech: bezels getting in the way.
Call me when you have bezel-less monitors and a stand to make them fit perfectly together. Until then, I'll keep using 2560x1600 and whenever I feel like I need to view fractions of what's important, I'll bust out the kaleidoscope.
edit:
I would gimmick it by putting a full sized magnifying glass in front of the LCD panel to stretch out the image so that it becomes as big as the bezel area about half an inch in front of the monitor and basically fit the glasses together in an array so that the bezel is there, but ignored. That's what we're actually doing to improve the efficiency of LED lights in very particular applications.

maybe we should have xtreme monitor threads ... afterall they're too as important as the gpu to deliver the graphics to the user
I am glad Eyefinity got me into multi-monitor gaming. When not gaming I have 12 underwater robot cams on the right monitor, HDTV on center monitor and web browser on left monitor. 3 Acer 23.6" screens (open box sale) only $450usd.
The extra screens make it easier on your eyes from less eye strain. You don't move your head, just your eyes to glance at the other screens. This is helpful when you are looking for something. Many times I have found items out of the corner of my eye that I missed in the same game when using just 1 monitor, usually while running or going thru dark building.
Multi-monitor is way more fun. Don't core which brand you use. Even Serious Sam SE HD works great.
Edit: I overlapped the bezels so not much to block the view. They are really not much of a problem, just to the folks that have not tried it.

Eyefinity/surround are both useless and not worth the cost. Not only do you need three monitors, you need the very beefiest videocard available. And if a new game comes out with high graphic requirements, your at the mercy of graphic makers to just have to buy faster cards.
Also bezels.. there the arguement that you don't notice the bezels after a while, but at the same time, how much can you see on your peripherals if that is the case.

The original post really does make this thread going into wrong direction.
It is pretty much expected the 480 will beat the 5870 by a margin, but too bad the 480 does not have native support for 3 monitors; keep in mind that not all multi-monitor setups will go towards gaming.
You're right. I probably won't adopt anything like 3-6 until we just got high-res screens that do curved gaming. Honestly, we need iDP to really push 4K display because the chips are there, the circuitry is there, the only thing now is the PANELS. Dear LG/Phillips, Samsung, Toshiba... please make us some good 4K panels. Thanks.
Whats with the OP? Misleading much?
Both are great, but whats with humiliation etc? Garbage..

I deal a lot with 4K, the IBMs don't really exist they're mostly prototypes and they're not actually 2160P they're slightly lower. The only true 4K you can get out is on projectors.
The 4K monitors were never mass produced because back then they were mostly used for medical imaging and not for Film production. We need 4K monitors and iDP can outdo LVDS and allow for true 4K to be delivered to our displays as long as the panel manufacturers make true Cinematic 4K panels.
I dont think he was talking about SLI. Nice thread !!
