I think it is frickin awesome. More games need to support this. And the people who cry about it are just being retarded it is not unfair at all. I mean it is a screen setup, it is possible by hardware so anyone can do this so don't cry about it. They still have to use there mouse and keyboard to move around. What happens when companys start to release super wide curved monitors is that going to be unfair as well. The only thing I consider unfair in games is the people who mod the crap out of there game. I just think it totally ruins the fun. Just like someone else mentioned on the comments and also someone from Dice that I read on another forum said that it is no different then somoene having a super crazy mouse and keyboard. What about the people who have a standard mouse with no adjustable DPI is that an unfair advantage as well. I think this is just something for people to complain about. Why try to ruin it for people that have triple screen setups.

I find it completely fair, I am glad to see AMD Fusion in the starting up of games rather then bum bum bum bum bum or "Plays Best on Nvidia." Have to have good competition is all I see it as!

Nice Marketing strategy for AMD/ATI. Once again, AMD is waking up and finally utilizing its competitive tools. EyeInfinity is a nice feature to have, IMO. It will be a great advantage for us the consumers, because the Cinema Wide Screen TVs are extremely expensive. And to have 3 monitors that would cost as cheap as buying these cinema monitors, it will definitely bring the prices down a bit. AMD/ATI you surely are poking my interest .....must resist 
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

I agree with many of you. Fkn awesome. bring more of it!!!! I frankly am not a fanboy of one or the other. I have and will run both as long as they produce the quality products I look for. While it is true the dx11 is nice, we are still looking for late 2010 before enough games are out to really even dent the amount of DX10's out today. For me, I am waiting to upgrade till summer or fall 2010. WAAAAAAY to many good things around the corner for me to drop the coin today.

i don't see how this is unfair. This technology is out now, you can even do this right now. Its how its being marketed that makes it unfair. AB, you could buy me couple of new hardware :D when summer 2010 comes

Just as Nvidia has CUDA, ATI has their Eyefinity.

Unfair? Nvidia just needs to get with program, where's that card boys? Prolly will be here when the game comes out.

What does that have to do with anything. There has not been any word on Nvidia doing anything similar to Eyefinity yet that I know of correct me if I am wrong. So for right now don't expect to get triple screen by using only a "Fermi" card. Hopefully they will release something like Eyefinity for the Fermi cards because it really is an amazing experience.

Get over it and buy your own 3+ displays.  It's just another hardware advantage like high speed internet, better GPU or better CPU. If you don't like it, then isn't that just too bad? The have-nots always b!tch about the haves. adambowen

nVidia has had TH2G compatability since 2006. What are you guys talkng about? nVidia has always had better surround-screen capability until now. ATI/AMD only got into the surround-screen gaming capability in the last 6 months. They're been SOL since 2006 though and just only now gotten with the program. You guys are only aware of this stuff because a major marketing team is pushing it. ATI/AMD would love for you to believe they invented surround screen gaming...sorry, but Matrox did a decade ago. ATI/AMD and surround-screen gaming is like Al Gore claiming he invented the internet.

Yah, sorry, I didn't clarify myself better. I don't think multi displays are a disadvantage and know it's been around. In fact I think the wider view is too much. I'm more amped on DX11 and having Fermi ready for the game, and yes I know that's not the topic . I've been triple-head gaming since 2006, so I couldn't imagine playing on anything else. I don't look at it from a perspective of advantage/disadvantage though. I look at it from a perspective of screen space for in-game windows open and immersion factor for things like flight and racing sims. Sure, it might be interesting in a FPS, but that's not where this tech really shines. Using this in games like HAWX, NFS Shift, Dirt 2, etc... That's where this tech is really awesome.

Mmm yes I agree, I must look into this more. What's your monitor of choice?

Mmm yes I agree, I must look into this more. What's your monitor of choice? Depends on your goals. Some people lately are just going with the cheapest 1080p panels they can get. I prefer Samsung or Dell though if I was buying LCDs. Those 2 brands at least have semi-consistant quality control. Most people are going 22" or 24" with this tech, but there are deals to be had. The other day I saw someone pick up $99 LCDs and even cash in on Bing cash back for even more discount. I'm hoping with Fermi that nVidia does driver level intergration for surround-screen gaming because it's either that or using the TH2G or going EyeFinity on the AMD/ATI side. There are always multiple options. Currently only the ATI/AMD 5000-series cards are the cost effective way though. nVidia cards require a $300 TH2G splitter box. I use Tri-SLI GTX260 and a TH2G myself on my setups. My LCD setup is three Samsung 245BW. They no longer manufacture those LCDs, but it's a nice panel. My projector setup is three Optoma EX525ST with Sol7 for pre-warping. Both of these setups use the Matrox TH2G splitter box. If I was a new user though I'd go with a ATI 5850, 3 cheap 1080p LCDs and a single DP-to-VGA active adapter.

What are you talking about you must not have read my post. I said with only a fermi card. Way to jump to assumption. Of course I know about Matrox. But it is limited to res where Eyefinity is not. I was comparing cards and just saying that so far nothing has been said whether or not we will have this with fermi so I was telling him basically to not get his hopes up. And I think Matrox is in trouble. It is now cheaper to get a triple screen setup by just buying a ATI 5 series card.

Matrox is only in trouble if nVidia doesn't get it's act together. Classicly, TH2G has always been used with a nVidia setup. ATI has always had very spotty compatibility (little to none) with TH2G. All things comsidered, if nVidia was smart they'd buyout Matrox and call thier new driver level multi-display TH2G and do away with the boxes altogether. That way they could use brand name recognition and just implement it on drivers. They did much the same thing with PhysX when they bought out that PPU manufacturer awhile back.
