AMD launches HD 5870 Eyefinity
GRAPHICS CHIP VENDOR AMD is launching the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition graphics card today.
AMD claims it is the first card capable of rendering in excess of 1 billion pixels per second, offering 12 times more resolution than 1080p HD.
Most GPUs require two or three cards to run six displays. AMD's play is that the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition reduces cost of ownership for a six-screen display. There's no price information for this HD 5870 available yet but, with previous form on AMD's bleeding-edge cards, it is probably going to cost about as much as six budget graphics cards.
AMD touts good support for the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity. It has support in the game development community and updates included the ATI Catalyst graphics driver software. These factors promise an improved ATI Eyefinity experience with regular updates and new features. AMD also claims that partner programmes will help punters identify ATI Eyefinity-validated components.
"The ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition graphics card opens the door to a new era in personal computing," said Matt Skynner, vice president and general manager of AMD's Graphics Division.
"With the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition, PC users get the ultimate panoramic computing experience in one powerful card. By bridging the innovation in ATI Eyefinity technology with broad ecosystem support, AMD is revolutionizing the PC visual experience." µ

I am really curious if this graphics card will be able to play back 3d movies at high rates like the Geforce GTX 480
Hi El Stupido Here. Some News just in indictes 32Nm HKMG Is Wash Out, Twice thru mill, ALL Bad, this is gonna hurt.
Best KicK To Groin Ever. Ooo, Mama.
Leaving Nvidia to Wits as next Step, Southern island. Ati gone & Done ketsup, with half trannies, yet those where long time comin' from 2XXX to 5XXX & more NT 6, than Jens. while nvidia play 3DMark xp game,To Perfection, now with twice Trannies, as Ati. Thats Clue. Nvidia can Make card with Twice trannie count, Running half speed & keep Up to Ati.
nvidia will fill lost xp market in with -=7=- 64 Ultee' Tranee' Beds, Making ati whimper, No extra Power Required. Ati will need to Keep Midnight Oil Burning, Engineering several more billion tranistors into gpu, something nvidia has good toe hold into, How.
Nvidia is not out, in fact industry owe Nvidia & Jens appologee' for ALL Work for Extreme gaming. now Time to Circle Wagons, Ati & Nvidia are Stuck in 40 nm World for rest of year. Until displays can play such exttreme Ati bandwidth, Nvidia has design plus & bandwidth in reserve.
That reserve, once turned to:
7600.16385.0907-1255x64fre' NT6 Platfrom will douse ati, at low speeds nvidia Is able to power Twice As Well. Tranee' Beds that did It.And Fillete 'O Fish Sandwich. Trannies Are Better Quality Than RAW Bandwidth.At Least For Now & Nvidia know How To Grow 'Em. Just One Year Since First Planting Tranee' Bed Seed.
Bring In Reign Makers.

Well some other sites have basically said 3x2 gaming sucks, but this card is still awesome, you can do 3x1 for gaming.
6 displays on a single card :-)
This card is perfect for CAD software & Image processing. You can never have enough screens when you do CAD!
I think the computing power of this card should let things run smoothly too!

Tests have shown that having bezels smack in the middle of the view, like you have with 3x3 displays, make most all games unplayable really.
Not that that is the only use, or only configuration possible, but it does dampen the fun a lot.
You really don't have a clue what you're talking about, right?
Oh wait, I've just been trolled, dammit! (there is no way anyone could be that stupid, not even Drashek)
But will it honestly handle 6 x LG SL90 Full HD LED LCD 47" TVs (borderless TV) in a 3x2 matrix?
I wonder what it would be like to play Far Cry 2 in 3d - it would be like being there!! Give me that machine gun...!!! YeeeHa
