My thoughts? I'd like to win so I can experence it

Awesome prize! Can you image playing on Command and Conquer, no need to scroll any more.

Truly awesome hardware. Eyefinity is the future of gaming!

Haven't had much time to play with it since my card doesn't support it but it seams cool. I wish my desk was bigger so I could have 3 monitors for gaming :lol: Hopefully I'll be able to use it once I upgrade later. (Or win this card *hint hint*)

I find it too expensive. I rarely play video games on my PC anymore. I've moved most of my gaming time to a PS3 and DS.

I haven't had much personal experience with Eyefinity, but I did build a system for my cousin with Eyefinity capabilities, the only problem is $$$$$ for multiple monitors. When I get a chance to put a 6800 series in my system, I will for sure wrangle up two more HD monitors. I think the timing is great for 3D Multimedia technology to advance in leaps and bounds to keep the peoples interest on PC's. Or they could lose a large part of the target buyers to 3D Cinema. Thats just my half cents.

That is an awesome sounding card from what i've read about it.
Am curently running 2 HD4870's on 2 HannS.G's and they look great.
Crosses fingers on winning this card

I am trying to build a new rig for xmas and I cant imagine how awesome it would be to have a brand new 6870 and then invest in a few 1920x1080p monitors for an awesome EyeFinity experience! I've been wanting to try it out for over a year but havent been able to yet! I'm just super happy it supports all of the games I play most, mostly Valve games!
Maybe I'll get lucky in this contest!

Q: What's your thoughts/ experience of Eyefinity (Multi-Display Gaming)?

I REALLY enjoy it! You have all this room to look at and everything just seems so much bigger while playing. I've recently went back to 2 displays since a third went elsewhere in my house but I can't wait to get back into Eyefinity gaming!

I'd like to take this one to a serious level. I think AMD's (yeah, quick change of my naming habits after the ATi logo was dropped recently) approach is a very smart one. It offers you the opportunities to tie several screens together with only few cables, using only one card for widescreen footage. For office work it's a cheap solution, an HD5770 will do so end users can be happy with this platform: low costs, low power consumption and still a great FOV to work, type and design on.

For gamers, a market which AMD obviously cares a lot about considering its latest marketing strategy, a lot of cards unfortunately won't do the job because they can't keep the FPS above the 30+ limit. Still, if the GPU is strong enough to hold out you are having an awesome experience against relatively low costs. Only mind the framebuffer, it has to be large and fast to avoid major hickups. Several reviews are backing this habit up, especially when you are applying a decent amount of AA on it. With products like the discussed HIS the capabilities are there, it's targeted at enthousiasts but I really hope for all users the buffer won't overflow. Mostly due to the stressing nature of some recently developed graphics engines of course but it’s definitely a valid point to watch out for. You've got to invest, without enough horses to keep on pulling that frame train it might get hard to enjoy the awesomeness!

Q: What's your thoughts/ experience of Eyefinity (Multi-Display Gaming)?

I never used multi display because i never had enough money to buy more than 1 highend graphics card. I've tried both favlors of ATI and NVIDIA gpus over the years.

Anyway from the benchmarks multi gpus show good fps, and multi display looks nice for a wide bigger view. I'd like to get to experience it hopefully :mrgreen:

I've always had high end cards, but have never done multi-monitors. I'd love to, though, (although, I can almost hear my wife groaning now and saying, "Really?!?").

Q: What's your thoughts/ experience of Eyefinity (Multi-Display Gaming)?

Well, currently my rig is mostly used for home theater, the new HD 6870 would be a great excuse to upgrade my rig to play more games. I can't image how awesome it would be to own 3 of these 40 inch samsungs for an amazing Eyefinity display for playing scenic games like World in Conlict. I have watched the Eyefinity videos on youtube and the technology looks very promising and easy to use.

Honestly, I have not yet experienced this wonderful thing called Eyefinity; however, that is about to change. I'm already looking for a second monitor and this 6870 will be the deciding factor in my Eyefinity plan.

Been multi-monitor gaming now for a few years, and would never go back! Started with a TH2Go setup and since upgraded to a Radeon HD5970. The extra immersion it gives you in games is amazing plus I find it definitely gives you an edge in first-person games, as you can see enemies out of the corner of your eyes that otherwise you'd normally miss. If you've been holding out, take the plunge, you wont' regret it.

As a club president, we use large (1080p) projectors to display information during our events, but they are not that suitable for gaming events (eg: SSF4 tournaments, consoles), because only one projector per team / limited refresh rate. I think an Eyefinity setup of 4 displays would rock for information on the large, one massive 3840x2160 SSF4 display or break apart the display for 4 concurrent gaming sessions.

Of course that wouldn't be possible with onboard video (or traditional dual head cards without SLI/Crossfire), and the HD 6870 would be a perfect compliment to our dual core gaming server.

Eyefinity its a cool idea, but atm only my dad uses it for megavideo series.

I use windowed mode or softth. Altho if eyefinity had multi-resolutions.... :( (my resolutions have almost same height :P)

I've never played w/multi monitors. Been a long time console player, built a pc to play ffxiv and swtor. Had never seen eyefinity till after I built it, dont think my current rig is up to it. I'm totally sold on the benifits thou, and since the pc has become my main gaming rig. I plan to upgrade and move to an eyefinity set up, when funds allow.

Would Not Know Ive only eva seen eyefinity on youtube, But nice card and very Nice core clock. Card should be able to handle All the good FPS like COD and MOH on 3 monitors which would be SWEET :rockout But I would imgion that you would need a pritty beefie PSU to push this baby the power it needs :D Im thinking Something loke about 1000 wat Yer.


I Think Sony and Microsoft Need to start putting this Technology in to the PS3 and xBox cauz it is just pure awsome

Pease Out :!:

I've been a multi-monitor gamer for a little while now. I started out using softTH with a 4650 and an onboard graphics card with two 15" and one 19" monitor. It was fun but I hated having to always mess with the game files to get it to work right. I have moved to a 5830 now and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance running 3 19" monitors on a triple monitor stand off of amazon, I got for about $60 :). So I am looking forward to the evolution of this aspect of gaming.
