Csokis provided some comparison shots of BioShock 2 being Vert-. Considering that we went through this exact same thing on the original BioShock (and the WSGF event made X-Play! on G4TV), the FOV issues are surprising. This thread on the 2K Forums picked up our original posting and users there go on to say that other issues fixed in patches to the original BioShock are missing as well.

PC Games Hardware picked up on our story about Mass Effect 2 having broken Eyefinity support. They were able to get in touch with people at EA and AMD to get more information. Both parties were aware of the issue (our AMD rep was involved in the discussion here), and BioWare is working on a patch. No ETA on the patch yet, but it is forthcoming.

While there weren't a lot of new Eyefinity announcements at CES (something on Eyefinity6 would have been nice), it was in strong showing. AMD had a strong Eyefinity presence at CES with multiple demo rigs. They were also touting strong Eyefinity support in key titles from 2009 and 2010. Dave Baumann passed along this slide from their latest Eyefinity presentation deck, which outlines a number of those titles (Mass Effect 2 included!).

At CES 2010 NVIDIA announced it's foray into the multi-monitor gaming world with its announcement of "3D Vision Surround." The technology will launch alongside the Germi cards, but will work with the existing GT200 family as well. This solution allows for combined implementation of 3D, Surround and PhysX.
