I started out with a 5970.. I was constantly annoyed by the monitor hooked up by the DP adapter, it would need to be unplugged and plugged back in frequently. Other than that, it worked, but some games lagged at that res. After reading a HardOCP review of Nvidia Surround and how much faster it was, I dropped my 5970 and got two GTX480s. I've been happy ever since and now all 3 monitors never stop working.

I had trifire with one monitor 1920x1200 and just upgrade with 2x6950 and 3x dell u2311.
Drivers is just fine and play all my games (F1 2010, Dirt 2, Need for Speed SHIFT, CoD Black Ops, BC2) perfect.
Low cost for 6950 and with the flash you can have 6970 :D

Whereas I get awful stuttering with CF and Eyefinity so swapped from dual 6950s/70s to GTX580 SLI

The new Nvidia cards make no sense for Surround. Meager vRAM for high-end cards but still more expensive.

I've done GTX 470 SLI and now I've got 6950 CF. No complaints about scaling or gaming experience. With the Radeon 5 cards, AMD's CF kind of sucked, especially with EF, but that's all fixed with the new cards. Scales better than SLI now actually, and doubly so at the higher resolutions and AA, because of the 2GB vRAM.

I have been following this thread, and hoping to find out... or actually help me make my mind up. I plan to purchase the hardware and monitors to get myself into widescreen gaming.

I am just so indecisive on if I should go Nvidia, or ATI. And then I cant decide on monitors... other than I know I want 24 inch or larger x 3.


Can any of you help me out a bit?
