I personally feel as though this is a very legitimate question. I understand there are manufacturing constraints and ATI wants to ensure that the "mainstream" boards are in full supply before they move onto the "enthusiast" boards. That being said there are many normal consumers such as myself out there that are currently in limbo. I've been putting off my new build for a month now waiting for the Eyefinity6. My setup has been in the newegg basket for over a week. I'm long past the point of research, I'm long past the point of selecting parts. I just keep hoping that I'll log on and there it'll be. Is it today, tomorrow or two months down the road? I will not buy 2x gpus. It was hard enough to justify almost 2k in monitors (3x 2408wfp 2x lp2465). At this point I can either continue to wait it out, or I can just get the current 5870 with 3 monitors and call it a day. It's not the solution I'd like, I've wanted the 5x1 setup since day one. I realize that new technology is always "just around the corner". The difference is most manufacturers at least let you know when so you can make an educated decision on if it's worth the wait. |

I canceled 2x 5970's for my build from a boutique builder to wait for the 5870Six Not seeing or hearing about them at CES has a me a bit concerned :shock: |

nice to finally read some news on the Samsung thinbezels. The price tag is kind of high though. 1899 USD ~ 1319 EUR for 3 screens + stand??! from the specs they look identical to Samsung F2380 which cost 225 Euro a piece and have pretty slim bezels already same 16:9 300 cd/m2 150000:1 (dynamic) 178 degree 8ms 
225*3=675. That leaves whopping 644 Euro (920 USD) price premium for a stand and 3 displayports. GG Samsung! the only thing missing to justify such a price tag is the apple logo. |
