Any hint of a U3012 yet? Is it known if 6-bit will work with the 30" screens?

HP comes to your house the next day to replace their 30"er due to it being classified as a business product.

(which I just ordered on Sunday (:swoon:), after reading several in-depth reviews and comparisons, and way too many derpy newegg comments. I later realized I could have saved hours of reading and thinking for myself if I had just stuck with the OP's recommendations here which are spot on)

The main decider of full screen vs windowed mode for me is if the game will let me play movies on my second monitor (a TV) while still running full screen. A few games still gently caress that up (COD7 and BF2 I'm looking at you) but a lot of them handle it properly these days. I haven't messed around with those resizing programs though so maybe there's a workaround.

I just got two cheapish 560 Ti's to game at 2650x1600, but at the most intense parts of Crysis 2 I keep crashing due to my Zalmann 750 watt power supply not being able to quite handle it. Apparently even the lower end 560 Ti's can use up to 360 watts of power each under peak load which is ridiculous. A 1200 watt PS is on its yay (Antec), I kind of needed it for the longer cables anyway.
