Hi, I want to upgrade from a 5770. My requirements are - support for 3 VGA LCD monitors and the length of the card can not exceed 9". Any recommendations? I bought a 6870, but had to return it because it only supports 2 VGAs. (I thought that both DVI ports would output to VGA, but DVI-D doesn`t.
RSVP!

I don't want to get another 5770 and use XF, but that might be my only option.
Replacing my monitors is not an option. Yeah they are VGA, but they are 1920x1080 and look great.

Do you know of anyone running 3 VGA monitors - 2 of them off displayport? And the other would have to be off the DVI-I.

I have one of those on order from last week and it would probably be here on Monday if CP didn't strike.

Not exactly, I ran 3 VGA monitors off DP and 2 DVI or DP. I run the E6 card. But the magic here is that the DP->VGA is an active adapter and will work. I used those exact adapters.
