We use Ultra settings and haven't experienced any of the dropouts that others have. However, even with the new drivers performance is only really acceptable at 1,920x1,080. You'd have to drop the quality settings down a notch or two to make it run at the 25x16 setting. Though many readers don't have monitors of this size and pixel count, a 4MP examination gives us a good inkling of how it will perform in a multi-monitor environment.

And yes, the GeForce GTX 580 scores a small win here.
