3x 1280x1024 would be much better and you will still be able to push that resolution with ease

Lol, I was hoping that setting the non-naive resolution would mean that I have the projectors doing the work of AA rather than the GPU. Again my cheapo way of trying to set this up!

is there a significant risk that 2400x600 in 3d (ie maintaining at least 60fps) will be too much for a 460 sli set up?

That's my main worry. If the odds are that it can't manage that then I may have to get 480 sli although I really don't want to as that will significantly increase the cost. Double the amount spent on graphics and I will have to get a new PSU! :(
What d'you guys think?

With 3D, you'd need it ideally keeping at least 80fps, as that's 40fps per eye, sort of thing. In effect. Kinda. I don't see why it shouldn't, to be honest. I've got GTX460s driving a res five times higher (in pixel count terms - 6064x1200) than that and they do OK. In some games they're a little close to my 'minimum', but for most of the games I've tested so far, they do great. I cannot see GTX460s for a minute doing badly at 2400x600. In fact, I'd say at that res, the CPU and PCI-E bus become bottlenecks rather than the GPUs... at least in 2D. It'd probably even out in 3D.

That's a relief to know.

I don't think I am going to sleep tonight waiting for these bits to arrive!

In the past, I have done both widescreen gaming and stereo3d gaming but its always been the dream to combine the two.

Lol, I'm looking forward to the sheer deluge of config files and tweaks combining the two should bring!

And bug hunting too, I don't doubt. :(

Best of luck with it... and get some sleep! You don't want to be so tired you make a mistake putting it all together! :shock:
