Maximum PC witnessed XPlane 9 and Far Cry 2 running at full resolution on Eyefinity at 12-20 frames per second. HotHardware notes that an upcoming DX11 racing game, Dirt 2, was played at 7680 x 3200 with “perfectly acceptable frame rates” (although 12 fps is not what many would consider “acceptable”).

The feature is called Eyefinity and it allows multiple monitors to be used as a single display.  Currently, when multiple monitors are connected to a single PC, those monitors are seen as separate displays that can be configured as an extended desktop or mirroring.  With Eyefinity, the displays are arranged in 1 or more groups and the OS sees the groups as single displays.

No word yet on a release date, but Engadget reports that  Acer, Dell, HP, MSI and Toshiba already have Eyefinity notebooks in the works.
