THIS is what NEEDS SLI or Crossfire. Good luck getting decent FPS without it.

i don't think so. the resolutions are not that high - they are not suported. it is mostly adding width. if you don't run that high, current gen video cards should be fine.

I run most of my stuff @ 1600 x 1200 x 32, sometimes anti-aliasing, no more than 4 x anisotropic. Don't think there's much point in anything much higher, unless you're stretching the screen sideways for that wider view. Anyone run higher for any reason?
Talking of resolutions and stuff - I have noticed recently in iL-2 a lot of stutter over a particular airfield in one of my test missions. :? That's SP, with no more than about 15/16 aircraft at any one time.

One application is making a virtual cockpit, so that you have the left and right sides in the appropriate monitors. That means your video card is pushing 3x the pixels of a single 1280x1024 monitor which IS slower.

Right, so even though the res is lower, there are more outputs to drive signals to. I can relate to that.
