In his interview yesterday Petersen came as close as possible to saying it would.
800 series may change that on the reference design, perhaps.
NV Surround is fine off a single card and has been for a long time. You can do 4 displays off a single card now with NV, 3 surround 1 accessory, this has been in place since 2012 with the 600 intro. Problem is, cards don't have 3 displayports so g-sync is different.
G-sync requires displayport, and cards have 1 DP unless an AIB wants to make a custom backplate with varying outputs. 800 series may change that on the reference design, perhaps.
Right. But back in the early days of it, Eyefinity worked from one card and had multiple displayports. Sometimes 5 or 6.
I understand nV can do it now, but AMD jumped way ahead on support of displayport a long time ago. If nV is finally ready to catch up, that's great for customers now.
There is a very thin bezel around the panel. The specs like to talk about a 6mm wide bezel which is a little misleading, but not far off. The plastic bezel part along the sides is 6mm thick, but then there's also an outer plastic edge and also an "inner bezel" before you get to the actual image on the panel. Overall there is about 10mm of black edge from the very outside of the screen to where the image on the panel starts. In practice it still looks and feels very thin. The lower edge is a little thicker at about 15mm total. There is a shiny silver Asus logo in the middle of the bottom bezel but not other writing or model names on the screen itself. The panel sits almost flush with the bezel as well so it feels like it's near to you as opposed to being inset a little.
I thought it was supposed to have a 6.5mm bezel? Looks to be ~2X that in the pic. Which is still quite thin, but not the 6.5mm claimed.
It's seemed pretty thin in other pictures...

I think the photo actually makes it look thicker than it actually is. The bezel is the thinnest i've ever seen on any monitor.
IIRC its supposed to be 6mm, of which if it looks bigger than 6mm all that means is you don't know what 6mm looks like framed around a ~27" screen.I thought it was supposed to have a 6.5mm bezel? Looks to be ~2X that in the pic. Which is still quite thin, but not the 6.5mm claimed.

The bottom is thicker to accommodate ASUS branding, maybe that's the eyesore you're picking up on...and I would agree that its pretty disappointing that ASUS felt the obligation to make sure they conspicuously branded their panel as opposed to maintaining uniformity, which also hurts the potential for portrait mode surround (although TN probably hurts that too much anyway)
I don't understand this. Kronvict has one he can simply grab a ruler and measure it. I'm talking the side bezels and I know what 6mm is.
It's covered in the TFTcentral review. Perhaps you should read it?

I'm a bit frazzled after having to go to the article (which you must have done also) and actually had to read and quote the applicable text myself. I can understand why you didn't do it yourself after reading it. It was so hard.
Just in case some people have their sarcasm meters turned off, I'm joking.
Given you didn't understand the previous (admittedly unclear) explanation, I wasn't about to try and muddy the waters further
