So if you are buying another monitor to make the three, make it DP.

I just did a search on Newegg and I could only find 1 $350 22 inch DP LCD.

If they intended to make Eyefinity accessible by almost anyone, they should at least allowed you to use a Displayport -> hdmi adapter.

Samsung is coming out with some new thin bezel 1080p monitors for Eyefinity. Sound like they will be priced around ~$200 each with the stand being around $200 also.

What we really need though are monitors with no bezel period.

If Hydra is any good then Intel will put it in their PCH (since they are a major investor in Lucid) and AMD (and Nvidia, if they're still making chipsets) will copy it for their northbridge. No need for a separate chip.

Hydra will never be built into the s1156 chipsets natively (the architecture wouldn't support it). But its possible for an X68/s1366 chipset...

AMD is the only GPU manufacturer that has supported, and continues to support, running more than two cards in a single multi-GPU configuration.

Great opening paragraph lol triple gtx 280?

I think they mean pairing a multi-GPU card with a single GPU card.

I think the new Dell U2410 has displayport.

The Dell Ultrasharp 2408 has it as well (at least my Rev 2 does).

No Crysis = fail.

Unlikely: what if Lucid has a valid patent and if they don't feel inclined to license it to Intel/ATI/nVidia. Whatever makes them more $$'s (company profits), is the way the technology will end up going. Not necessarily the most logical or efficient solution for the end-user.

Seems like a perfect time for that curved display that was shown off a while back.
