I manage to snag the asus one from Newegg for $380 and pay the extra $15.56 for 2nd shipping.

Hopefully I get it by friday so I can make love to it all weekend with my triple 24" monitor setup

Good night people. I will post review when I get it. (though not so much as game fps performance but how well it works in regards to triplehead, and installation )

hehe manage to grab one.

it seems like newegg and zipzoom fly are all out of stock.

from reviews the card is fast but I can't really find any reviews with detail testing of the eyefinity aspect of it

Still not seeing any of the 5870 Six being sold. Wonder when that will be an on-shelf product? I am holding off till that is available. Sure I can pick up a regular port configuration one, but I want the future-proofing capability of the 6 ports for EyeFinity. Besides I need the 6 port one if I'm to pull off the projector setup I have in mind. :wink:

I suspect the Six won't be out for a while yet. 2GB cards should be around in a while, I guess.

Well the Six == 2GB cards, I dont think there will be any non 'Six' 2GB versions.

I'd like to think that ATi would release some 2GB 'normal' cards, but you're probably right. I'm kinda hoping for a 4GB 'Six' card, for that matter... I think the protein science facility manager at work would orgasm at the idea of six 2650x1600 screens for visualisation... 8)
