Hi guys had a quick search but saw nothing

Got the rig below in my sig

looking at getting another 4890 for xfire to run on my new sammy 2343bw running at 2048x1152 res

looking to get another 2 in the near future for trippleheadgo i do realise that i cant run at that res on the trippleheadgo hopefully they will release a new one or i wont bother..... either way views on xfire bottle neck please
 
Cpu at least 3.2Ghz or over = Yes

Mobo with dual X16 slots in crossfire mode = Yes

GPUs with at around 1Gb RAM for high resolution gaming = Yes

There's no bottlenecks in your righ that I can see :)
 
The ATI trippleheadgo limitation is at the driver level, its about time they started to address it as multi screen gaming is becoming more & more popular.

I myself have had thoughts now & then about adding 2 smaller monitors in portrait to line up to each side of my 30"
 
what drivers you one?

I found i got big bottlenecks on 9-6 but with the same GPU setting on 9-5 it was all gone and a physco o.O so yeah could be a driver issue
 
im on 9.5 at the moment wont be going tri screen for a month or two yet

well the trippleheadgo only supports 3x1900*1200 so i cant go any higher than that but i guess as its the same area as my res mayb i will get away with it

so you guys recon no bottle neck? cool! i thought my L2 and 2 cores might limit it?
 
i thought my L2 and 2 cores might limit it?

No. There are games that can take advantage of (which is very different from needing) more than 2 cores but it's not that many really and you probably don't even play them. Even if you did, the developers would have also coded it to play well with 2 cores as well since that's where the majority of the userbase still is, 2 cores :)
