Just got my 2 Dell U2412m's to go along with my gateway FPD2485 and holy crap, this is VERY nice. I'll get a third 2412m eventually so that they all match perfectly but for the time being I'm loving it.
That being said, what are the eyefinity secrets? And perfect games to really "wow" me? Any advice on the desktop? Is there a way for me to leave desktop on "extended" but then switch to eyefinity mode with some sort of hotkey right before I jump into a game? I ask because I want the start menu on my middle screen.
I'm driving these with a single 6970 for now but will add a second at some point down the road, probably around christmas time or whenever the 7 series comes out and I can get a deal on another 6970.
I just finished modern warfare 2 since thats the game I was in the middle of (steam sale) and it looked great once I did the widescreen fix. I'm going to fire up Deus Ex but since that game has pretty "meh" graphics anyway I don't expect much.
Thanks for any recommendations!!
PS - when I go with a second 6970 do I need the same brand (XFX) or can I grab any old 6970? I'm not overclocking the cards so I don't care about oc headroom, just want to make sure they are perfectly compatible.
