if i get a much wider desk i can put maybe 2 24 inch monitors on my current spot.
I wonder what the optimal screen size/res would be for 2 monitors. Dont people see in 4:3, or was it 2:3?

Official benchies:
Taken with a pinch of salt though, no numbers means this graph is worthless. AMD's way of saying our card is fast, but by how much? This basically says its nearly 3 times faster than a GTX 285, a bit too optimistic but i really hope it turns out true.
If this is the case then my GTX 295 is going on ebay.
A collection of high res images.
Either way it looks like a solid bit of kit.
Collaboration of all true RV870 information.

More benchies.
And then some.
This thing is quick!
First third party bechmarks:
Almost as quick as a GTX 295. If this card is priced right its going to be a winner.
Crossfired and it trounces two GTX 295's.
The 5870 X2 is going to be a ****ing monster!

Wait until the drivers are optimized, which usually is the case after two revisions post release.
Then you'll really have the true performance to benchmark.

That is true, however performance is already pretty impressive and its not going to get worse.

We can indeed except some squeezing during the next couple of months.
The hd4870 is faster now than it was during launch.

Nice results if its the right price, though saying that my 4870 while great when it works I regularly get random display driver crashes (though not regular enough to RMA, it works flawlessly with futuremark and other stress tests etc) so thats kinda puts me off Ati. Either way though probably going to hold off getting a new card for at least a year or so.

I dont get crashes myself ever with my hd4870.
Are you sure you have a proper airflow?

Yeah Ive checked everything airflow, drivers, etc even voltages and other stuff just seems to be a semi dodgy card that aint dodgy enough to return. Usually its not too bad though <1-2 crashes a week, but every now and then it hates me.

Make sure you check the event viewer! Especially if the card can be run through stresstests without producing errors.
I used to have weird crashes and thought the card had to produce them but it turned out my NapAgent was acting up. Crashes can be caused by the weirdest things.

also the 6 monitor thing can be done only with the hd5870 six.
Ive heard stuff about the normal hd5870 having 3 outputs.

The standard 5870 has dual DVI and 1 HDMI output.
The 5870 Six also has a 2GB frame buffer. Christ knows how much extra it will cost though.

3 is probably better for gaming (and most other things really) as there will be one central screen so there wont be any plastic border in the centre of the array (is that even the right word to use here?..array). So the 6 version isnt really worth in my opinion.
But saying that if you have the money for 6 monitors, you'll have the money for the 6 version.

5870 GPU/memory auto downclock at idle

Great to say the 4870 idles at 75C with a 20% fan speed.

You know they have to keep early adaptors of DisplayPort happy aswell.3 is probably better for gaming (and most other things really) as there will be one central screen so there wont be any plastic border in the centre of the array (is that even the right word to use here?..array).

It's a great step of making multiscreen setups possible without external splitters like TripleHead2Go, limited software solutions like SoftTH or expensive multi-monitor graphics card like the Parhelia series.
It will probably be very popular for stock exchanges, lounge bars/rooms, arcade halls, pitlanes (AMD sponsors Scuderia Ferrari), paddocks, etc.

Yeah, on the exchange floor in San Francisco a bank of 6 monitors is pretty standard, plenty of guys have 8.
2 high, 4 across.
That's why I found that borderless 3 monitor setup Xen posted so interesting. I know some people who will buy that.

Of course, I was mostly referring to the home user and it being a bit silly to pay more for 6xoutput.
