Will ATi Radeon Cards ever be able to run in Horizontal Span mode?

^^ -- Will they?

Ok then, if No, a follow up question, when will Nvidia release their first Direct X 9.0 card?

And another question, is there any Matrox cards that run 3 monitors good enough so you can play games with it? Are they going to release more 3 monitor cards?

The Nvidia FX Range are fully Direct X 9 Compatible, only the newer ones though (5700, 5900, 5900XT and 5950)

The myth of them being not Direct X 9 compatible came from when they first released the FX range.
Basically, Nvidia chose not to follow the Direct X 9 API so that they could get the FX line out early, and in turn, shot themselves in the foot.

A few patches back the devs added a 1280x3000 res IIRC for Matrox Parhelia users...

You can customize the resolution as you please in one of the files in the PLanetSide folder, so that aint a problem.

Ok then. I might sell my Ati Radeon then, once I get my second moniter.

Thanks. (Here's for hoping the Nvidia prices drops alot until then ;))

Haven't heard ANYTHING from ATI about their blatant lack of any cards that support horizontal span.

Toms Hardware has a damn good guide out. I think it's still on their front page.
