Thinking of upgrading to 3xDell U2412M

I have 1xDell U2412M and its running from a Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X; mobo (AsRock Z77 Extreme4) is crossfire (x8x8) capable.

Monitor is fab and not giving me any gaming issues - but it also does a lot of admin too and was bought because I wanted portrait as well as horizontal viewing angles...

...so is anyone else gaming at 3600x1920 on 3xDell U2412M's or similar setup? ...and with what GPU setup will still turn out a healthy BF3/skyrim fps?

...or should I avoid the eyefinity 'bezel issue' and get a Dell UltraSharp U2913WM 29" Super-Widescreen LED Monitor instead? Cos the 7950 should support 2560 x 1080 without breaking sweat!

You will need some GPU power to game at higher res. 1440p (2560 x 1440 I think) has 75% more pixels on screen than 1080p, so if your card is fine at 1080p it might not be at 1440p+!

I went for crossfire 7950 when I got my 1440p screen. So far it's fine but single card carries less problems with it, I am having issues with Rome 2 Total War and bad Crossfire support at the moment.

Eulogy - I'm currently gaming at 1920x1200, on my Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X. I was looking for a more immersive experience so my choice is;

Eyefinity, which has the 'bezel issue' - but I drive a car and see the world at high speed with the pillars either side of the windscreen without it stressing me :-)

on a daily basis.

or

buy a single bigger monitor than the 2412M...

BUT I am worried that crossfire still suffers from driver support issues and your experience is supporting that fear...
