AMD Eyefinity 3.0 to Introduce Mixed Resolution Support
AMD's third generation Eyefinity multi-display technology, will feature the ability to mix and match resolutions. AMD pioneered multi-display with Eyefinity, which allows you to span a single display head across 3 to 6 physical displays. Up until now, the technology required all participating displays in a setup to run at the same resolution, often limited by that of the lowest-resolution display. Soon, that limitation will be removed, letting you mix displays with different native resolutions, in three new modes. The first one will be called "Fit mode," in which vertical pixel counts will be kept constant among the displays. The next is "Expand mode," in which the display head assumes the vertical pixel count of the larger (central) display for the flanking displays, creating "unavailable" areas. The third one is "Fill mode," in which the head fills out the native resolutions of the displays, with no "unavailable" areas. The resulting display head, thus, won't be a quadrilateral. AMD plans to launch Eyefinity 3.0 with Catalyst 14.6, due for June 2014.

This mean I can finally have smooth desktop expansion, and also in games?
Something like 2688x1080? Not sure how this will be rendered on the small monitor, since it has 286 more vertical pixels than the 1080p one....
Btw, is this working on nVidia cards also?
You'd better get a 30" 2560x1600 display along with two 20" 1600x1200 in portrait and wait for AMD to support PLP in Eyefinity.
And nope, also won't work on nVidia as of now!
1366x768@19" =82.48PPI
1920x1080@27"=81.59PPI
But what do I know, maybe when calculating in the US customary system 1366 pixels "almost" equals 1080 pixels... ;)
Also having panels arranged in PLP where the flanking panels are taller than the central panel does look kind of stupid I guess, but that's a topic for another debate. :)
Is not 1366p, is 768p@19" which is almost the same PPI as 1080p@27".
And no, I already have the monitor on the desk in portrait mode and is exactly the same vertical size as the 27" one. The monitor is branded as 18.5" thow....
