The problem with 20/30/20 PLP layout is its weight. Total gaming pixel-count 7,936,000. You would need 3 R9 285 cards to run it maxed, because the card is not that strong. Not the ideal card for heavy beast PLP, but would work in theory.
But card works solo alright for light versions. I have lightweight 19/27/19 (total gaming pixel-count 3,801,600). I can't max Metro Last Light Redux 2014 in manual PLP with R9 285 (not overclocked. Only 1 game tested).
Extra cards are of little help for manual PLP, as it's usually achieved in windowed. Eyefinity PLP with Crossfire would make 20/30/20 a decent gaming option.
Agreed.
The R9 285 isn't powerful enough for 20/30/20 at least not on its own, and maybe not even with multiple cards due to limited VRAM, and the poor scaling with Crossfire/SLI.
I'm more interested in this as it seems to suggest the next gen Radeon 3xx series will support the feature as well.
I've had this single Titan since early 2013, and if something comes out that is more powerful AND supports my PLP setup, you bet I'm upgrading in short order.
