Hi all,

since my last comment I still didn't buy a new system... :tired:

Next month I plan to buy 3 x Iiyama ProLite B2206WS - monitors for eyefinity setup: 3 in the raw, and connect them later on with an additional small monitor (for flight sim- instruments)

So far as I could research on the web, the affortable graphic card serie, which would be not too costy (within 250-300 Euro) and still would be a quite good performance card for eyefinity - would be the 6950 series.

Would you aggree on that? Or there is a better choice within this budget range?

If so, I wonder which card would be better from these both:

or
http://www.chip.de/preisvergleich/176228/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-6950-2GB-PCI-E-11188-05-50G.html#

The second one has only one Display Port, the first - two. - Does it affect the usage of the cards with 3 +1 monitors?
Are there any advantages?

Could you please help me with the choosing of the right adapters for this setup? (sorry, I am not familiar with the specific terminology)

Thank you very much for any comments!

Hehehe. And i'd wonder who dare to Nekro such an old Thread! ^^

For 4 Monitors you need 2 DP! Because you can use either 2x DVI or 1x DVI+HDMI. But not 2xDVI+HDMI!
Then 2 MiniDP to DVI Adapter should work fine (Active Adapter!)

The 6950 is a good Card. But for 300€ shouldn't there be a HD7870 around that price? AFAIK Gtx580 was around 320€ right?

7870 might be better choice.
