I saw this yesterday and laughed really loudly and obnoxiously. It it's that price, im gonna say f*** this and buy a 5870 and use my currunt 4870 and do SofTH.

But seriously, isn't this card supposed to be out today?

Sabre PC are the same folks who put up GTX480/470's at insane prices too a couple of weeks back, so I wouldn't take anything they list as remotely accurate.

ZOMG :hide

I think 100$ more than regular 5870 should be good

Yeah I am wondering about this too. This seems like the perfect card for my dad's setup as he has a tripple monitor setup (vp2290b, dell 3007 WFP, dell 2407WFP) and the main problem is he is stuck to XP due to the fact that spanning doesn't work on windows 7 or vista. There are the three port ATI cards that can solve this but to get the full refresh rate on his vp2290b (3840x2400 resolution) that single monitor needs 4 DVI inputs and the other two monitors can run off one input each which would go perfect with the 6 outputs this vid card provides (all monitors would be able to be ran off one port and at the full refresh rate of the vp2290b).

Right now its taking two video cards (one only running off an PCI-E x1 slot) and the vp2290b isn't getting the full refresh rate it could (due to the fact its only being ran off two SL-DVI connections.

The main problem is that the spanning is absolutely necessary with a 3840x2400 resolution monitor as it needs to show up as a single monitor to the OS as it really is a single monitor!

I have been waiting patiently for this sucker to see how well it works on my dad's setup. I have a vp2290b as well but I run linux and thus don't have the limitations of no spanning and stuff like that.

This may sound trite and a little annoying to those that are eagerly awaiting this board, but I (for the time being) am going to wheel out the "when it's ready" response. Sorry.

In Scott's HD 5830 review over at Tech Report he did give some indication as to why the Eyefinity 6 Edition hasn't been here before now. We are still working through some things that are the ramifications of that at the moment and we want to make sure we get it right. I believe the end point is in sight though. :)

Hey, if the "done when it's done" is good enough for Starcraft 2, and Diablo III and Duke Nuk... wait, scrap that last one... ;)
