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?

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
