Are you kidding?
ATI gives you driver only downloads which you can install and uninstall completely in device manager. All you need is ATT.
Nvidia drivers though will load all sorts crap and then fails to uninstall completely. It so bad that I create a restore point before I install my...
It's might now be nowhere near the resolution, but it's only a 10% smaller viewable area than your 3 22" put together, and I don't have to look at bezels.
The whole time I'm looking at this video all I see is the FOV being cut up with bezels. I just can't see why people justify the bezels just to get a higher resolutions.
Like others have said, I rather game on my 37" than have my FOV chopped up into sections.
What is means is most games don't require that much PCI-E bandwidth to make a big difference, though I'm sure there are some titles that do require that extra bandwidth.
COD4 is one of those titles, but considering the avg FPS it really doesn't matter much.
With DX11's tessellation we...
Sure adding pixels is always nice, but at the cost of splitting your FOV with bezels not for me. Also your wrong more pixels V/H doesn't mean your have a 75% wider FOV if your using the 3 16/10 displays in portrait.
3600/1920 = 1.875
2025/1080 or 1920/1024 = 1.875
2025/1920 = 1.0547 or...
I got the same 37" screen and I have to completely agree.
I just can't see what's so great about 3 displays in portrait mode if your only getting a whole 5.47% more FOV at the cost of having bezels running down the display. I can create the same FOV effect by just making a 1920x1024...
The 186.16 are the latest whql drivers that work once you replace the nvapi files from 185.68.

Also I'm not sure putting a fan on top of the original HS is going to help much, as part of HS is blocking air flow on top...
