The Heaven demo worked fine in Windowed mode. Performance was hit pretty hard. No CFX in DX10. Will double check, but I think I had the logo thing still set to show.

Guild Wars was a no go. Would only run windowed on one screen. Going to try LOTRO next. If we can get some more input on things like Mass Effect, then we'll start a sticky with games and their info.

Well i cannot seem to get ME2 working, refuses to go bigger than my 3007. Risen also seems to not like custom resolutions. i have had Success with Borderlands, GTA and Google Earth.

Dirt 2 almost certainly uses Crossfire in windowed, had MSI afterburner in background and both cards were maxed out.

I think this also works with 1680x1050 | 1920x1080 | 1680x1050

Can someone try this?

Theoretically, and since the game is just a window, this trick works independently of any screens, provided you can place the window as you like to & tweak the game resolution without limits (which depending on the game may or may not be possible)
I guess you could setup for (1680x2 + 1920) width & 1080 height and lose 30pixel which would be out of screen for sidescreens ...

Another game it works perfectly with is Trine, really good framerate ( only 1 gpu active ) but you can windowed mode and hide all the bars so effectively it looks fullscreen =D

Found something interesting, I loaded up dolphin and started playing zelda. It was in Fullscreen. But out of habit I pressed my shortcut to expand the window over all monitors (using ultramon). It expanded and was playing as if I was using Eyefinity over all 5 screens.

Dolphin is the only game I've been able to do this with. I believe it's because there Fullscreen mode is only a type of window. But it's worth a look to see if other games will work this way.

I'm not exactly PLP, but I'm 1600x1200+1920x1200+1600x1200

I have a 2405 and FW900 and I could've gotten a 24" lcd for triple setup, but I wanted an IPS panel and small dot pitch, hunted down and drove 160 miles for two 2001FPs, I was certain 5120x1200 is supported by eyefinity! :cry:
