To test the performance impact we ran four of today's most popular games from a variety of genres. Each test was run five times with the lowest and highest scores omitted with the average FPS taken from the remaining three scores.









Note: 6400x1080 resolution was tested without bezel correction employed

As you can see, with the increase in resolution from 1920x1080, through 2560x1600 and onto our Eyefinity setup of 6400x1080 the FPS dropped almost in a linear fashion with all of the games played. As expected, some sacrifices of AA or image quality will have to be reduced if you are to enjoy anywhere near the performance of your current configuration. Either that or you need to consider investing in Crossfire. Truth be told we did not experience much slowdown or indeed any stutter while using the Eyefinity setup and although some tearing was apparent in some scenes it was barely noticeable. IF you are a fan of extremely high image quality we would certainly recommend the most powerful GPU setup you can afford as Eyefinity certainly has a big hit on performance. However, with 4K resolutions now becoming a realisation it stands to reason that regardless of whether you run Eyefinity or not, 'eye candy' will inevitably take a hit with the new 4K screens let alone Eyefinity.
