Right now I am running A-10C at 7680 x 1080 total resolution supporting 3 27" 1920 x 1080 monitors for view and one 1920 x 1080 touch-panel for instruments...I have most settings on high and FPS is fine.
Would like to wrap the view around the cockpit some more for better side view and thinking of adding 2 more 27" monitors, one on each side (5-wide view + the touch-screen), requiring an overall resolution of 11,520 (more with bezel correction).
Currently, I have 2 GTX 670s SLI'd together and would add one more 670 to the box for the additional monitors...running an i7-3960X at 4.25 GHz...assuming the hardware will run it all (I understand that the sim is generally CPU bound so maybe adding the GPU's will not work very well, but can probably OC the CPU to 4.8 GHZ if needed):
First question - before I pull the trigger and get the additional gear, is whether the sim will actually render at that resolution (11,520+ wide), and second, do you think my proposed hardware setup would work OK?

Update (6-13-13):
Based upon the input that follows, I decided against trying to enhance my system...for one, DirectX will not support the resolution, but more so, I think I now realize that the "wrap" I would be after would just be a stretched, distorted view anyway...seems like a better goal would be to try the 5 x 1 portrait mode setup...thanks all for your input!
