And search results at a glance: http://www.guru3d.com/article/core-i7-multigpu-sli-crossfire-game-performance-review/8 near identical performance in multi-gpu with a core duo vs i7, from the same site from which you took your 'res... |

| Without FSAA the gain fails at 2560x1600. With FSAA it'd likely drop before that, probably well before it would help you gain anything whatsoever on a 3840x800 or 3840x1024 setup. And if you want to be treated with respect, you should post with some. It's a two way street. Your last reply only confi... |

| If they detailed settings more, I'd be inclined to trust their results, right now though, they lack too much of it. For starters they don't seem to use FSAA, which as CPU for GPU use, is one of the biggest customers. As for you (xetura), so far you seem to me like a fanboy, and therefore not worth t... |

| Contrast used to be a useful spec. now's diluted into marketing speak with dynamic and other non-sense tagged on. Same goes for anything over 60Hz: there's - 120Hz with 60 blank frames inserted between real ones. - 120Hz with tv calculated half-previous-frame half-next-frame composite. - 120Hz with ... |

Smaller panels only go up to 1680x1050.
Not true, some 22" are 1920x1080. |

Allow user to create any resolution, official support included or not.
Including not-same-ratio mixes, like 2 4:3 + 1 16:9 etc. |

Ratio is neat, but what resolution does it use? a stretched 1080p like plasma do with xga or something else?
So far seems more marketing gimmick than anything else.
Definitely beats a th2g provided a decent res. though. |

The problem isn't whether they work or not, the problem is when they don't, you get 0 help from asus support.

monitor vs projector, price isn't the only difference.
a monitor doesn't have a loud fan, a lamp to be changed after a few months or the need for an expensive screen. |
