AMD solves a fundamental GPU scaling problem 

,----[ Quote ]
| If you are thinking that Linux, and sometimes even Windows, can do 
| multiple monitors, there is a very large problem with how some 
| implementations work. For Windows, each monitor is it's own separate 
| workspace, and this has some hugely important implications. If you put 
| two monitors on Windows, and drag a video, or something that uses 
| overlays, so it spans two screens, half of the image or movie will not 
| display.

| allow "up to 12 times 1080p high-definition resolution, which approaches
| eye-definition optical clarity." Well, what does that mean? Just watch the
