3D Vision surround hasn't been released yet and it's now May when cards were released in March.
Rumors are that it may never work properly as there is a hardware bandwidth limitation preventing it from working at higher resolutions - Nvidia's marketing department getting ahead of the engineering repartment.
Nvidia just changed the schedule so that the driver that was supposed to include this won't be released until summer but reports on the forums indicate that this won't even be included in that driver set.
3D Surround is vaporware just like how the GTX 470/480 was over 6 months late. Don't expect to buy Nvidia and be able to use multiple monitors for some time even though it's advertised on the box, it's false advertising.
Eyefinity is hardware solution built into one card. 3D Surround is a software solution Nvidia is tacking on to compete and requires two cards in SLI which doubles your cost as well as a resolution limitation and the fact that it's not even working at the moment and may not for several months.
ATI has drawbacks too, you'll need to buy displayport adapters if your monitor doesn't have a displayport.
