I'm currently running dual display eyefinity with 2 1080p samsung displays. I'm soon going to buy a 3rd display, because with eyefinity enabled on dual displays FPS put the cross-hairs right in the middle of the 2 displays, so it takes time to get use to that.... NEway, whatever displays you choose to buy, make sure at LEAST 1 of them have a DisplayPort-input which is needed to run 3display eyefinity, or you could get a DP to HDMI active adapter. About your card, its a very good card, but a 2gb card would have been a better choice since eyefinity relies heavily on mem. I dont know very much about crossfire, other than many games DON'T support it. So i'll let sum1 else chime in about that.....

I think that having the same panel x3 is much more important because you avoid color/contrast issues between different models. You don't need a display port ready monitor because you can use an active display adapter which can be found on ebay for aprox. 60$. Crossfire issues still exist but it has seen major improvements even on the 58... series. Generally the 6xxx series scale better so you will get even better performance. My advice regarding that is to get another card. If you don't get another card you will not enjoy anything more than low details on any current gen games.
