120Hz Eyefinity

Thats going to need some serious power. 3 screens is roughly 3 times the GPU power required. 120hz means you need 120fps.
120fps x 3 = 360fps required on single screen to achieve 120hz Eyefinity.
I don't think theres any current games you can run at 360fps on anything near decent settings with any of todays hardware. 2 x of the top next gen cards might do it lol.
Of course, anything over 60fps is an increase over standard 60hz screen when using a 120hz screen, but personally i don't think it makes noticable difference until you get 100fps+. So your still looking at needing 300fps on single screen to achieve worthwhile framerates. Anything less than that and you might aswell save a lot of money and get 3 x 60hz screen.
Having a 120hz screen myself I have had musings of a 3 screen setup and the way I would probably do it would be;
Single 120hz screen in the centre for fast multiplayer gaming (where 120hz really shines).
Single 120hz screen in the centre + 2 x 60hz screens on either side for single player gaming in 60hz Eyefinity / Surround on all screens.
Single 120hz screen in the centre for single player gaming in 3D on games that work well with 3D.

It might be an idea to check out Wide Screen Gaming Forum. There are some guys over there who are running Eyefinity on one card at the moment so I would say a 7000 series would be able to cope.
From doing some research myself, you appear to have to turn some of the bells and whistles down or even off completely. I think even with a couple of 6970's you probably won't achieve close to 120fps on some of the newer games but you don't really need to.
