Okay, so all of a sudden the Radeon HD 5870 has vanished from stores and I'm not sure how to do my 3x2 setup anymore. Do any of you know anything about this? Is a new Eyefinity 6 card going to come out soon? |

Is a new Eyefinity 6 card going to come out soon? 5000-series has been EOL for a long time now. Just like they no longer my 2010 cars in 2011, they typically don't make 5870's when they have 6970s to make. I do believe that there is a non-reference design 6870 E6 available by one manufacturer. Only other option is just search around for someplace with NOS. |

I saw a post awhile ago about a new version of the HD5870 E6, it's on it's way, just be patient, or get an old one. |

Yep, it seems like a step back to only supporting up to five when there was the six option. Of course, with dp1.2, more than six could be supported but until dp1.2 hubs and/or monitors come out then it's stuck at five. |

I applaud AMD for supporting new tech that isn't yet fully available in the channels, but it's a pain when it takes longer than expected and we're left sitting here twiddling our thumbs. ;) |

Is a new Eyefinity 6 card going to come out soon? Any of these should work :) atm, it seems those are the only options for 6 displays. -Erik |

Which puts me off a bit. My E6 card can accommodate 6 30"rs. |

There are some Sapphire HD6870s with Eyefinity6. Though, probably not the best choice, performance-wise. |
