    I'm all in favour of seeing Skyrim included - vanilla and with some HD mods.

    My 580 SLI rig has been brought to its knees by this game :-(

    100% grass and lush grass + whatever else you can find. That would be good. And the hd textures for sure.

    But being cpu bound, I guess it is a less important game for gfx card choice.

    So it looks like inside the second style testing is getting totally ignored due to the lack of replies on either this, or the other thread I set up,

    Poor show.

    I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I wouldn't mind seeing how the newer/future cards do in a multi-monitor setup with Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround. :)

    And for the record this is more than just academic for me as I run a setup with 3x U2412 fed by a GTX680 4GB card at 3900x1920.

    P.S. Oh! And definitely more of that sub-second performance.

    We will be lucky to get Sli / crossfire tested think you will need a miricle for eyefinity and nvidia surround

    Well they asked, so I threw my two cents in! :D

    Though it might get easier seeing as SLI/Crossfire can still be a pain to get working well vs Eyefinity/NvidiaSurround running on just a single card with the current gen cards out there now.

    That's probably accounting for Bezel Correction. It effectively just adds pixels.

    Heh, yeah, it's bezel correction, the only way to play. :)

    Of course the only downside I've had so far is I lose my mouse sometimes behind the bezels...

    doesn't stuff...happen behind those bezels?
    Could you "lose" an icon behind them?

    Yep, you could even lose yourself behind them if you made the bezel correction big enough. :)
