While 3D and 3 monitor technology seems to be the latest trend in both computer graphics and home theater, IMO 3D seems to be more of a marketing gimmick that companies have used to capitalize on the popularity of Movie Theater 3D. I know many people who ran out and bought very expensive 3D LED LCD's right after Avatar even though they already had very nice flat panel HD screens at home, and after a couple months of occasionally watching something in 3D (with very expensive glasses), pretty much none of them use it anymore. Then there is the fact that 20-25% of the population get sick watching 3D. Read this...

As for triple-screen gaming... once again, that is another niche market that I don't see becoming all that common. The vast majority of Americans typically have one computer monitor, and most of the time it's a pretty crappy one. I don't for see Joe Public who buys their computers at Best Buy suddenly buying graphics cards that cost more than his entire computer and then tripling up on monitors. Only a very few, very dedicated, and well funded gamers even know about triple monitor gaming let alone actually own a setup like that.

I agree with most of that... except one thing:

Most people that try 3d gaming stop using it.
Not one single person who has seen my eyefinity setup said it wasn't amazing.

Target audience is definately "very few, very dedicated, and well funded gamers" as you say. But if you put cost out the window, one is a technology that people would overwhelmingly use whilst the other is not.

If only the top-range cards supported eyefinity/3d and mid-range didn't, I'd have no problem with that. It's kind of what happens anyway, because they dont have the processing power in the mid range cards for the extra resolution. Yes there are exceptions of course.
