Older (racing) game support

Hi guys, I'm thinking of making the switch to Eyefinity (I'm a TH2GO owner) but I play a lot of older racing games and can't seem to find anything about Eyefinity compatibility with them.
I read a post somewhere that stated that the number of games Eyefinity supported was restricted - is that true, or is it as compatibile with older games as the TH2GO is?
I play (amongst others)
Richard Burns Rally
Grand Prix Legends
GT Legends
rFactor
iRacing
GTR series
Thanks for any help!

The only one I can't confirm is Grand prix legends but I am pretty sure it's working fine.
All the others are working fine with eyefinity, I have tested them all...

If the games work with TH2go, then I would think they would also work with Eyefinity. The only one I've really had some serious problems with is GTL - the copy protection system that installs with the DVD takes Windows 7 to it's knees, and required a complete reinstall (not an Eyefinity problem). RBR requires Camhack and some fiddling, and some of the replay cut-scenes still don't show in their proper aspect ratio, but ...

pretty much all the games that can run in matrox triplehead will run in eyefinity
the only problem is that Eyefinity REQUIRES windows Vista or Windows 7 to work.
not a "eyefinity problem" but some older games just don't run on Vista/Win7
I had this problem with several games. but I would say a good 95% of games run in Win7 fine.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the info. I reckon I'll be grabbing a 5870 within the next few weeks - can't wait!
