Those that have have it, or have used it, swear by it. The fact of the matter is, it is an awesome technology that actually adds something to the experience. I couldn't care less if I can get 20% more performance out of object A over object B if it means nothing to my experience, and there is no noticable difference between it and object C i'm replacing. I'm upgrading from an x800 because there was nothing in the middle that meant anything to me. I'm not into a schlong swinging contests, so more frame rates mean nothing to me, and image quality is more than sufficient as far as i'm concerned. I have no problem dialing down those settings and even resolution for that matter, because it's the gameplay that is all important to me and i don't find that other siht distracting whatsoever. That's where i'm coming from.

And if you want to spend $1500 for 3 monitors, that's your choice. You can get into Eyefinity with 3 monitors for substantially less than that. Besides, the investment in the majority of cases is likely 2, not 3 monitors since it is quite difficult to use a PC without at least 1 monitor to begin with.
I don't see the point of spending that kind of money to "tone down the settings" and not be able to run any texture mods. It's not about e-peen, I want good framerates with some eyecandy if I'm going to spend that kind of money. There are games that I would like to see better performance with and I don't see the point of upgrading for worse performance. I would rather buy one nice panel than three cheap TN panels as well.

What is your point? This is a thread about fermi. I just pointed out how eyefinity will have no impact on sales.
