Sure, as soon as i get these beauties here. :P

Don't attack the postie when he arrives to deliver them! ;) 8)

Found some 'fake' 5850 benches on TechPowerUp. They disabled two of the SP blocks and clocked it down... but having read the TPU review, it doesn't mesh well with other reviews out there. :( Apparently Guru3D are singing the praises of the EyeFinity possibilities...

Sure hehe :twisted:

I've just bought two Sapphire 5870. :triplewide

Man... please let us know how it works, my main questions:

1. Can you put 2 screens in one of the video cards and then the third on the other video card and still have CrossFire enabled when playing games in TripleHead?

2. What kind of performance do you get?

3. What games work and which ones dont work for you?


Thanks in advance, im about to buy 2 of these puppies once i get confirmation.

Crossfire doesn't work yet with EyeFinity.

Sure, but itll take some long time till i get them here, i live very far from Europe or US.

Btw i plan to run the 5870 in crossfire and keep my matrox triplehead2go , if its actually possible to run DX 10 (and DX 11) with the new ATI drivers + matrox.

Bummer, gotta wait for the x2 then, thanks

The x2 also needs crossfire support to work. It seems the only way to have a 5870 crossfire + multi monitor gaming, now, is using the matrox triplehead2go, limited of course to 5040x1050. :wink:

Actually not really, Crossfire on the x2's work in a lower level invisible to the Operating System, thats how im able to run 3 monitors using SoftTh with a 4870x2 and a 3870.

When the 5870x2 comes out, we should be able to use EyeFinity on it with no problems.

Who knows ? May be possible, or not.

That's one huge assumption without any basis in fact at this point in time. :wink:
