1200+2560+1200 x 1600 with CrossFire?

I have a Dell 3007WFP-HC (2560x1600) and want to add a couple of 2007FP's (1600x1200) on the side, in portrait mode. I've got three HD 5850's to potentially drive that setup.

Unfortunately, I hear that EyeFinity does not support mixed landscape / portrait monitors for gaming, and it probably isn't high on their agenda of things to "fix."

I've read about SoftTH, and it sounds like a great solution. The problem is that it does not support CrossFire/SLI, and I doubt that it will any time in the remotely near future, if ever. Ideally, I could enlist the help of the additional two cards to push the 4960x1600 pixels.

Are there any other options that I'm missing, or will I be stuck to using one card, if I want to use all three monitors? TH2Go specs don't mention resolutions nearly as high as mine, but is that accurate?

Thanks for your help!

There is no current solution (TH, EF, NV) that offers P-L-P mode for gaming.

Dave said, it was very low on the priority list back when the 5000 series came to fruitation.

Can always hope that they change their priorities. :) In my opinion, this kind of setup makes a lot more sense than three 16:10 or 16:9 monitors, what with the aspect ratio not being ridiculously wide / fish-eye-y, yet having the same "surround" effect.
