ATI beat Nvidia to the multimonitor-gaming market, and now Nvidia is going full out at it all of the sudden.
Nvidia could have also done this for the 200 series cards, but they didn't. Only now that ATI did it, does Nvidia do it.

Seems kind of like the big brother, now that you are eating icecream, he wants to eat all the icecream thats left.

Not sure about the purpose of this thread, so I'll be watching it. But, according to your theory, shouldn't both ATI and NVIDIA feel like that since they followed Matrox who did it first?

Quoted for truth!

The Matrox Parhelia wasn't a great gaming card, but it did multimonitor in style... 8)

You shouldn't be angry for that. Nvidia and ATI has never been obligated to support multi-monitor gaming. Regardless of which solution you choose between Matrox, ATI and Nvidia, you gain more from wider hardware support. That Nvidia supports multimonitor gaming, instead of downplaying it because they don't have it, gives more incentive to developers to support it as well. The user base becomes much larger with Nvidia's offering.

I see it as a positive trend that vendors go in this direction! :twothumb

Welcome to business/game theory, if your products vs your competitors become more and more differentiated someone will start cutting into the others market share thus the other will follow suit so they can bring the competitive difference back to price competition as well as advertising competition.
