So Going to do some eyefinity. Friend has it and I've quickly become addicted and loving it.

2x6950 CFX

Question is.

Do I get 3 Dell U2311 monitors at $269 shipped
269*3=$807 - $270 profit from acer sale = $537

Do I add 2 Acer GD235HZ to my single Acer GD235HZ I have now for the 120HZ benefit
$349*2=$699

If I do get the Dell's I'll sell the Acer off and that will probably recoup a good amount of money back.

Decisions Decisions.

I like the idea of the 120Hz for the smoothness, but the U2311 are said to be superb monitors and look great for eyefinity.

For better landscape angles and the possibility of portrait eyefinity I'd go with the U2311H. There is the possibility of 3D Surround on nVidia cards if you go the Acer route though.
 
I'm not going to be doing any 3D, the 120Hz is strictly for the smoothness of the 120Hz refresh rate.
 
Can a crossfire setup provide that many dual-link outputs for eyefinity @ 120hz?
 
If you get an adapter that is displayport to DVI-Dual link you can. The more I research about this, the more I'm changing my mind and going to lean towards the Dell. IPS seems to be a advantage with landscape or putting them vertical. The bezels look nice and slick and the cost will be much cheaper.
 
if eyefinity used some sort of technology wich allowed each monitor to use less watts I'd see the use...
 
I tried using my TN monitors @ Work in portrait, no go, looks like crap IMO, I wouldn't bother with TN Multi-monitor gaming, but I'm a bit picky. I'm enjoying 3 u2311s @ home though =p
 
I've got one of the dells in my portrait eyefinity setup and its a very nice monitor imo. Especially for the cost.
