Thank you for a very good and precise answer Skid :)

Think i finally decided to replace the 2x5970 with a 6990. 2x5970 beats a single 6990 on most benchmarks today, but i guess a 6990 is more then sufficient for eyefinity on todays games, and for the long haul, the 6990 will last longer ...

First of, the question:

As topic says, how is it handled.

USE My goal is to play new games at 5700*1200 (3x 1920*1200 24" monitors). Most importantly ...

I am planning on buying 3x new monitors for gaming in eyefinity.
