Thanks, I'm planning on getting two of the eyefinity cards and maybe using my 5870 (3output) card as well. I'm not sure how 2x 5870*6 with the 5870 will work with the Memory being different and all. I'm guessing it will still struggle with games using 6000x1900. The wait is killing me. With this setup sitting about 2-3ft away I can't see anything but LCD's!!! Can't wait to game on it!!!

getting a 1GB card with 2GB cards is bad, you'll be limited to 1GB per GPU. You'll be better in getting the ASUS 2GB 5870 card.

I'm planning around $450. Another question is will the 5870 water-blocks fit on the eyefinity card?

the PCB is pretty much the same, so i think it will (only one GPU).

Still going to stick with just 3 monitors, not going to be jumping to 4 or 5 anywhere in the near future.

On another note, I expect to see sites start the pre-order for this pretty soon, what do ya think?

With me already having 4x 245BW, I really want to try this out too. The 245BW can be had pretty cheap refurb nowadays with it being EOL for about a year now.
