is there not any way (apart from silly $$$$ 6DP card + 3 Active DP conveters to DVI $$$$ :shock: ) that Ati can bring a bigger memory version of the current Gen...

i think given the current timespan for the next range.. the answer is no.. we are stuck

:cheers

Just check this other thread in the ATI forum here. Hexus reviewed a 2GB 5870 from Sapphire. They estimate that it is £60 pounds more than the 1GB 5870. That is going to be in the ballpark of the 5870 E6. If that is true, you might as well go for the E6 and offer yourself future options for expansion to 5 or 6 panels. I did test a single E6 in widescreen and 3x1-L Eyefinity.

Slides from http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1405660&postcount=5733:

One thing about these slides, they don't tell you the settings used. I have been on conference calls where these graphs were reviewed, and there are no details about the settings used. I test everything at max setting 4xAA/16xAF. I know they don't do that.

Thanks for the info Ibrin, nice to know the correct price area for the 6 is a sensible one.

Roll on those benchmarks... :D

The details about the settings used is in the small brackets next to each game name. They only show if AA/AF was used, no other effects.

Nice review... finally someone who reviewed Eyefinity setups.

Can't wait to see Lbrin's review, it should be even more in-depth given the configurations mentioned earlier!!

Seems at first blush that the 5870/2gb will be the bang for the buck card for 3 monitor setups and down the road we can upgrade to CF when the games need more rendering or we have the extra money to spend :cheers

Which card did you order??

I just pre-ordered on Amazon the Sapphire 5870 2gb...If Lbrin's review of the 5970 turns out to be the shiznit, then I will just cancel or sell the 5870 and order the 5970 :lol:
