The long awaited for support for Eyefinity 5x1-Portrait is now here. 5x1-P support was added to the Cayman release driver. The driver will be available as a hotfix for 10.12 so that existing HD 5870 Eyefinity6 owners can take advantage. Details in this forum thread, and YouTube video coming soon. Update:1080p YouTube Video.
The 10.12 version of the Catlyst Driver suite brings a number of improvements. The most noticeable is an overhauled (and much improved, IMHO) interface. The big Eyefinity update is the inclusion of support of 5x1-Portrait support.
AMD has just released Catalyst Control Center 10.12, which includes a totally revamped (and much improved) interface. I've gone through and created a video that does a quick comparison to the old CCC, and then a walk-though of both the Basic and Advanced interface options. YouTube video link.

This version of the Catalyst Driver Suite does not support the recently released 6870/6850. This is only an update for the 5800 series, and owners of the 6800 series should continue using 10.10.

Thanks to Skid for providing some raw footage of Black Ops with and without Dopefish's patch. Using that footage I've been able to put together a Comparison Video of the before and after. The video is of the game opening and showcases gameplay, cut-scenes and the HUD fixes in the patch.
Too bad YouTube thinks we lifted footage from IGN, as they are dumping ads on it. Will have to dispute it at some point.
Our final video from the AMD Tech Day 2010 is second video of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. This video was shot on the show floor, and is of live gameplay footage (not a demo real or movie). It shows proof of a properly centered HUD and menus, and what appears to be Hor+ support.
Very good to see a high-profile game with console ties get proper multi-monitor support on PC.
General Admission was able to attend the AMD Tech Day 2010 on behalf of the WSGF, where the Radeon HD 6800 was launched. He was able to capture a video of the DX11 Features in Deus Ex: Human Revolution being demoed by a representative of Eidos Montreal.
They specifically show the model improvements from tessellation, lighting and then depth of field. The gameplay footage utilizes an Eyefinity setup on three projectors.
