I thought this thread might be useful for people who play on 3 screens.
I currently run 3x1920x1200 screens and play with besel correction on 6170x1200.
The biggest difference I have noticed is that when there are particle effects that go right up against the screen. Such as slag in Borderlands 2 or Shroud in Thief. AMD drivers render them better than Nvidia. With the 670s Slag would take up my entire screen, this also happened with any other effect. It made it completely impossible to see anything. The shroud effect people complained about I never noticed on Nvidia but immediately noticed on AMD. It seems that those type of effects are very stretched and not properly rendered for 3 screen gaming. AMD still isn't perfect, slag is way too large but it is literally 1/3 the size it was using Nvidia.
I did notice a slight bit of stutter in Borderlands 2 that was not there with Nvidia, however Thief was much smoother (probably because of framerate increases.)
Also full screen videos on Nvidia Surround stretched over two the periphreal monitors a bit, this is not true on AMD. It fills the center screen correctly.
Overall I have not been disappointed yet. Hope this helps someone who is reading things about drivers etc and thinking of picking up some r9s at a ridiculously low price.
