Looks good but also looks like the colour of the 3 screens could do with some matching.

Thanks for posting that video, has finally decided me that the bezels kill multi-monitor for me :P

Agreed, I have 3 23"rs and a triplehead2go, and i don't use bezel management, it's wide enough for me literally have my bezels in the my peripheral. But when I was rockin 3 19"rs, with big-wide bezels, bezel management was critical... most of the time.

DEFINITELY looking forward to some benches with the dual 5970s.

Been trying to hold off ordering my second one until they get the quad-fire scaling issues fixed. MAN, could Crysis use the extra horsepower! :mrgreen:

pleasant surprise - my corsair hx1000w psu seems to handle everything ok. i thought 5970 crossfire would require me to upgrade to a 1200w unit.

scaling so far.... not so good.

So by that I assume Crysis/WH are STILL not showing any real gains by adding an additional 5970? (Ironically the games that DO scale well do NOT need the second 5970- at least for me :cry: )

no offence but why would you spend like another $1000 aussie bucks so you can play a 3 yr old game and to run a benchmark?

I guess if u r rich ass then yeh ynot but for 99% of people it's just a waste of cash :P

why do people drive expensive cars when there's a speed limit that every car can do?

why do people fly first class?

why do people eat at restaurants when they can just make dinner at home?

why use multiple monitors when you can just use one?

what a waste of cash! i can't believe people spend money on what they want to spend it on, ridiculous! i should've just handed you $1000 aussie bucks! silly me
