Just a quick thanx, got my 5870 & my 3xDell p2310 and all I can say is WOW. Only had a quick play, felt a bit nauseaus but apparently that's normal and you get used to it, hope that's true. Racing sims on triple screen is amazing and with the new card even @ 5760x1080 getting smooth frame rates.

Well done ATI, was a big nvidia fan but this card is top. CCC leaves a lot to be desired tho.

nice... I had the same first experience myself.. it's crazy how well a single 5870 can render such a large area.. makes me wonder how much overkill my dual GTX260s were for 1920x1080.. hmm.. anyways.. the extra FOV is kick butt and I don't think I can go back to single screen gaming now. ;)

I have encountered a few bugs, but mostly everything just works.. and yeah, ccc *cough* needs a little work.. but oh well. :)

Glad to hear I'm nto the only one to get a quick bout of nausea at first. I haven't had that since the Wolfenstien 3D days.

And yes, gaming in single-screen feels very awkward afterwards.

Much as i love it, i kind of curse this place. If it wasn't for WSGF, I'd have saved about $1500. :P

no nausea for me with the 3x24"s but I am a Marine, been through worse in real life :D

If I had to pick a game that could really get to you it would be a flight sim game doing some crazy flying or maybe Mirrors Edge, starring off all those building ledges and constantly moving around with the bright color environment, they actually added the little blue dot in the center just to keep people from getting motion sickness on ONE monitor, imagine 3 :D :D

I was a merchant seaman for 5 years, crossed the North Atlantic in November so was very suprised that it got me as I've been through a lot worse in real life to, I think that was the problem my brain was like WTF.... too much info all at the same time from 3 screens saying that I was moving when I wasn't...... bloody awesome is all I can say, been walking round like a kid in a candy shop since I got it all set up and no more feeling sick.
