Eyefinity and gaming..

Just a bit of an idiot question....

Looking at these Eyefinity setups that people have - doesn't this give you a massive advantage online as you have a much wider FoV? Or am I missing something?

I used eyefinity in portrait mode for a bit (so fov was only slightly higher than normal). You do have an advantage in a way, but the screen space is so large that you end up having to physically turn your head to look at things - which is a disadvantage.

Yeah, as above.

Surely you only get what you'd normally have on the central screen though, I suppose that if you're good at picking out movement in your peripheral vision, it'd be good. But thanks for pointing that out... I sit quite close to my 24" screen and find myself having to look around sometimes, never mind with 3 of them!

Hrm I might treat myself come bonus time... :eek:

Shame I can't get hold of the same monitor that I have any more.
