he is playing need for speed shift if you didnt notice. Not the most demanding game, and dont know if he is playing at max settings. But your right about it is alittle wierd that nvidia havent made any card compatible with 3 monitors.
Here you have a test on how one 5870 can do eyefinity

even at 4800x900 it will have problems with some games trying to hit 60fps.. and if you are going to play that in 3D it will take the double amount of fps to make it playable too.. so not many games will come close to 60 fps on one card.

I doubt there'll be anything new before Computex (June) :(
I'm still waiting for a 480 pre-ordered on 3/27... then I'll have to wait for the Surround driver to see if it's worth keeping my 285 SLI or not... While what I *really* wish for is a GeForce with DisplayPort output to make the jump to TH2G DP.
I'm depressed.

The new 470's with non-reference cooler from Gainward/Palit has display port. Perhaps they also will make 480's with it? :)

The Surround driver has been put back to end of June.

Which means I have 4 Grand's worth of hardware collecting dust for another 6 weeks. Sheesh.

Looks awesome! I would be saying more than 'Sheesh' if I had to see that every day knowing the drivers weren't ready.

Thank you. I have been receiving counselling and am slowly coming to terms with it to be honest.

I have already buyed three 120Hz monitor too, but not two gtx480.
If you like you can have surround with the three monitors and 3d only in central monitor. When you play you don´t advice that laterals monitors aren´t in 3D because you are concentrated in the action of the central monitor
I am doing this in Bad Company 2, Wings of prey, Batman, Stalker... I think this is the best solution until the driver is released.

San, please advise me as soon as you can how you did this please? That will do me until end of June. Thanks,

You can use the free software softTH for surround and nvidia 3d vision for 3d
You only have to remember that you must set multihead=0 in SoftTH.cfg and 3d vision will work in the central monitor. If you don´t know how softth works tell me and I will you post the configuration for Bad Company 2 (for example).
The effect is quite good for me

Thanks San. I have never heard of softth to be honest so would like any help possible.
