Next nVidia gpu - GF 100

Sorry, I don't want to rebuy three 100Hz monitors for a 3d experience.

If you've been following fermi in any way you'd know this already.

Nvidia might launch an "TWIMTBP" (The way its meant to be played) and make dubious deals where games are optimized to work best with Nvidia gpu's.

This concerns me, Nvidia might make modern games incompatible with Eyefinity, and only work with nvidia surround.

I hope this doesnt happen

Im not in the mood for purchasing another 3x new LCD's, maybe in a year or so when they have improved and come with with less bezels.. So I wont have any need for nvidia 3d technology.

1. No history, just frustration.
2. Current 3D solutions for the consumer require a 120hz monitor and special glasses/goggles. Also, 3D surround is simply nvidia's reaction to eyefinity, with their own twist/way to make money (nvidia 3d surround certified monitors that cost a boatload, anyone?). Please note the requirement of two gpus in sli for 3d surround (Doesn't have to be fermi) is a grab to keep their current consumer base (who could just buy another one of their current gpus instead having to buy two fermi cards, versus buying one 5XXX series card (or two lower end cards and crossfiring them for less).

Let's not forget nvidia's pricing policy on cards. It's going to start retailing at a very high price point, regardless of actual price/performance/power usage.

Oh, regarding playing across multiple monitors (3+) without a 5XXX card/fermi/SLI'd(identical) cards, it's been done for a long time via solutions such as SoftTH (software triple head) and Matrox TripleHead2Go.

My 8800GT will play across multiple monitors without a 5xxx card/farmi too and without solutions like SoftTH or Matrox TripleSuck2Go.

If you're just not happy with NVidia, hey, that's cool. You might mention that, though, instead of what looks like borderline trolling.

Post revised to clarify multi-monitor gaming in this situation to be with three monitors.
