Alright then. I have a GTX 780... Soooooooo.

It's nice to see AMD keeping up the competition with NVidia!

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Can Eyefinity be done with two monitors, or is three absolutely required?

You can play on two, but the center is in the middle of the two monitors so it doesn't work very well unless you remove the bezels.

Looks like this release is important for two markets.

-R9 295 and other crossfire users

-Linux users due to the openGL enhancements

Are there actually any indication of a performance boost across the board, or just Crossfire scaling?

Now we need AMD to make a somewhat more user-friendly driver software thing which can compete with GeForce Experience.
