Ive got 2 hd 5870 1 gb in crossfire right now thinking about adding a third (I know I probably cant use that much gpu power) and running in eyefinity (3 27" res 5760x1080) or would the 2gb hd 5870 help eyefintiy run better & scale better ?

Please please please don't do this.................... You are spending way way way too much money on computers. 3 way crossfire is absolutely impractical (search google for reviews).
You will never be contented if you keep doing this.

Even if you did do it, you'd only use 1GB of that 2GB card, as when it comes to VRAM, CrossFire/SLI don't work like RAID0... they work like RAID1.
