Heyyo, I would definitely be drooling with some surround gaming.. or a graphics card powerful enough to hook up to a massive lcd led tv with full rez and everything.. or maybe projector... mm... high rez deliciousness.. I can feel my mouth watering now. :P [EDIT1] Hmm I just noticed on the Deus Ex 3 gameplay footage in eyefinity it clips in the wall at 1:44 in the video, hopefully that's fixed in release cause that game looks epic in multi monitor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYufXPIKrx0 |

I have no experience with Eyefinity but I see several problems. 1. The cost of entry, 3 displays, a high end graphics card to power them and dvi-displayport adapter(s) adds up. 2. Too few games work out of the box The second can be fixed, the first not so much. |

I have no experience with Eyefinity but I see several problems. 1. Not really, if you need to update the graphics card anyways. For me it cost only 2x150€ (screens) + DP->VGA adapter (40€), so totally 350€ extra. 2. Actually, most of the new games work or are very easy to make work. And lot of old games, even Baldur's Gate, can be made to run in Eyefinity. ;) |

I've recently purchased a budget eyefinity card HIS 5670 1GB IceQ and additional two widescreen 23" monitors. Let me tell you that it is an awesome experience with eyefinity setup. Just the multi-monitor setup alone makes all the work that much faster, and playing games on eyefinity is that much more fun! Must have and highly recommended!! :D |

I haven't personally experienced a multi monitor setup but have seen use of them before and it looks absolutely stunning. If I win this card I'll definitely be purchasing another monitor to setup eyefinity! |

I have not specifically used eyefinity, but I have tried multi display gaming. It is quite the experience. Unfortunately I dont have the resources to have a set up myself. |

There is currently a 6870 in my system that would love another 6870 to share the load of three monitors I got last week :D I've only had Eyefinity a few days, but I love it for my racing games (F1 2010 and Dirt 2) because it allows me to see the cars to my side in the cockpit view. |

I have not used Eyefinity. But I have seen some videos of people playing driving games with 3 monitors, and I would like to try it someday. But actually, it is very expensive for me... |

I currently do not use eyefinity, for several reasons 1. My current card is a Asus GT240....but I'm getting a 6870 for christmas 2. Don't have the money, plus when I do invest in a new monitor I plan to go 3D 3. ...well actually thats it, oh and the fact that I need to upgrade my cpu and ram (using 2g of ram with windows 7 64 bit right now...horrible idea... and I plan to upgrade to either a phenom II x4 965 or a Phenom II x6 1090....or wait about half a year and upgrade both my motherboard and cpu and get AMDs new cpu) Anyways Eyefinity seems like a amazing thing to me since it allows for gaming to be more in depth, in my opinion anyways |
