CPU scaling with Triple Eyefinity 1080p monitors

cbn

Lifer
5760 x 1080 (triple 1080p in Landscape) or 3240 x 1920 (triple 1080p in Portrait) has approximately 50% more resolution than a single 2560x1600 monitor yet it can be had for less than the half the price.

Does anyone have any links to a website that has done high resolution cpu scaling tests? I think this type of monitor arrangement could become more commonplace for multi-taskers and gamers. However, at the same time I wonder if 1 GB VRAM and/or memory bandwidth is holding back the CPU.

This man did some very nice testing with a 4.72 Ghz Core i7 at various resolutions. But so far no CPU scaling tests with the triple 2048 x1152 monitors.

At this review site we also have some nice testing on single and triple 30" LCDs (but nothing with CPU scaling yet)

With triple monitor eyefinity, you expect the above results to be even closer, and most likely be the same for all CPU speeds.

That is what I am thinking. With Triple Eyefinity we are only talking 333 MB VRAM per 1080p monitor.

If only GDDR5 prices would fall as fast as LCD prices.
