The dVision Scope 1080p is 2560 x 1080 out of the box, no anamorphic lens necessary. its custom firmware automatically detects and resizes when the letterbox black bars to fill the 1080p field by increasing the number of horizontal pixels.
A pair of these in Eyefinity would provide 5120x1080 total resolution (5.53MP), a 42:9 aspect ratio (4.667:1). This compares to "traditional" multi-monitor resolution of 5760x1080 (6.2MP), a 48:9 aspect ratio (5.333:1). This would provide for an aspect of almost a 3x1 setup, but with about 10% fewer pixels (faster performance) and no bezels.
This is the first 3D Gallery WSGF is presenting of this great title, from the beginning of the game in Detroit. All screenshots have been captured running the 3D Vision solution that is posted and being discussed in this thread, in our forums.
It has been a while since I've been able to get one of my ~4K videos up, Deus Ex is a action / stealth based game, it natively supports multi monitor resolutions and if you can get it to detect that your using Eyefinity it can even centre the HUD for you. Once again if your monitors width is larger then 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.
There is an easy and fast way of enabling 3D Vision in Deus Ex: HR, a simple registry edit is required, please check this thread in our forums for all information.
Tom's Hardware has published their latest iteration of Best Gaming CPUs For The Money, so if your in the market for an upgrade, and have a fair idea of what your budget is, you should check this article out. Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: August 2011
Tom's Hardware has published an extremely detailed article investigating the issue of micro-stuttering and GPU scaling when using a multi-GPU configuration. This article gives an in depth look into micro-stuttering on twin, triple and quad GPU setups, and also examines any differences between CrossFire and SLI in regards to micro-stuttering.
The article also has a good number of comparison charts that show the current scaling differences between a number of single and multi card configurations.

A few forum members have been a part of the BF3 Alpha testing. They have confirmed that multi-monitor is natively supported, and appears to be Hor+. From one screenshot we can see that while the HUD is not centered, but the elements are not stretched.
AMD has released the official Catalyst 11.8 graphics driver.
New Features:
AMD Overdrive has been enhanced to include both CPU and GPU over-clocking controls within the AMD Vision Control Center
CPU over-clocking is only supported on AMD Black edition CPUs
Performance Improvements: 10% in Crysis 2 DX11, 8% in Fear 3 DirectX 11, 20% in Call of Duty Black Operations and 30% when AMD’s Morphological Anti-Aliasing (MLAA) is enabled through the
Catalyst™ Control Center
Of special note is that the 11.8 drivers brings support for 5x1 Eyefinity back into a release driver. Many users have been stuck at 10.12 or 11.4 Preview. 5x1 users can now enjoy all the the performance improvements from recent releases.
