3 screen gaming...

I don't need it yet, but I figure a year from now GTX470s will be 100-150 bucks used and 200 new. Might as well, if it will be beneficial. Crysis and Metro 2033 already run somewhat choppy when completely maxed out at 5160x1080 resolution...

I don't think any card maxes out PCIe 2.0 8x yet. There will still be significant benefit to a third card.

A year from now though youll probably be able to buy a single 28nm Eyefinity card that does 3 screens as fast as 3 GTX470s (or whatever Nvidia has when they catch up on multi-screen one card).
