In addition to needing the extra GPU to drive the 3rd display, if you're planning on gaming even on 3 1680x1050 displays, you need the performance if you want good quality settings and playable framerates.

1 GPU just isn't going to drive 5040x1050 at >30 FPS in a recent game, let alone something like Metro 2033.

A single GPU might be capable of driving 3 really small displays (not with NVIDIA Surround, which requires SLI). I would prefer a single 24" display to 3 15" or 3 17" displays.

Thats somehow disappointing compared to the solution from ATI:
