Just curious if anyone has done this setup? Clearly the 2560 will be down-rezed to 1920x1080 for eyefinity, but I'm curious how much an impact non-native resolution will be for multi-monitor gaming, and if I should even bother.
Currently I have 2x24" @ 1920x1080, and a third craptastic 20" @ 1680x1050 so I want to replace it. I need a displayport for Eyefinity (I tried an active MDP adapter with no luck) so I wanted to pick up a 27" that has a built in DP. There aren't that many quality 1920x1080 27" with DP that interest me, so I was thinking a decent 27" @ 2560 would be useful for extended desktop purposes.
Any reason I should NOT do this? I think I'd enjoy the larger real-estate, and better resolution for single monitor gaming, and for eyefinity, I can certainly live with 3x1920x1080. I'm ok with the size-mismatch of the monitors, I've seen some pics and it doesn't look that bad.
FWIW, I'm running 2x 6950 right now (non-crossfire, currently), but will probably move to 2x7950 within the next couple of months (already have the cards).
I'm looking at either this guy (that fat bezel is kind of turning me off, though)

or this guy.. (I don't want 16:10, since the other two are already 16:9)

Thanks for any input / suggestions!
