Having two monitors while gaming on Linux is such a pain, too many games don't handle it well at all. I had to turn off my second monitor just to give it a go and not play in a really weird resolution.

I have a script that disables or enables my 2 monitors that flank my main display. It makes it a lot easier to go between working and gaming. Of course, use xrandr to substitute your own video output types.

#!/bin/sh

echo "Turn on: 1\nTurn off: 2"
read option
if [ $option = 1 ];
then xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --left-of HDMI-0 &&  xrandr --output DP-1 --auto --right-of HDMI-0
elif [ $option = 2 ];
then xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --off && xrandr --output DP-1 --off

It certainly won't be cheap, as it will go for $59.99/£49.99/€59.99 at release.
While I would still argue we should all be buying both DRM free and directly from the company responsible for the port if possible, it is worth at least informing others that if you preorder it from Amazon and are an Amazon prime subscriber, it will only be $48 at launch. Just a heads up. http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node=13584215011 [External Link]

I had a bug where i walked into a room and the frame rate plummeted from it's stellar 25 all the way down to 7 exactly, and it stayed that way for the rest of the game. Rebooting/reinstalling did nothing. At least my headless NPCs are now back to glorious 25fps! /s
