ATI Radeon HD 5970 Reviews! - Updated With New Reviews
 
Quote:

Speed and power. Men's insatiable lust for the two, and the desire to be the world's fastest and most powerful have led to wars. And not many are as intense and fierce as the one between ATI and NVIDIA.

Launch prices are around €600 :(

better to buy 2x 5870 atm (if you're in this kind of league ;) )

2x5870 is more expensive;
2x5850 is about this price;
HD5890 performance falls between the two
yet is priced lower than 2x5870.

€600 is "too low"
previous top end VGAs were launched at €700+.
just to put things in perspective.

also, no point in buying HD5890 if you don't have 30" LCD... ideal setup: 3x24" in portrait mode, only have to find screens without bezel
for 3x30" I would resort to 2x5970 :D

Beamers don't have bezels. :D Would 4x in portrait work? 4320x1920 is a ratio of 2.25, pretty close to Cinemascope and close to 4k. :)

Currently no more than 3 screens supported "I think", special edition with >3 is expected and seen in action, but no streetdate on that one

Yeah, the "5870 Eyefinity^6", as reported here recently:

http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f...-tested-67520/ and the back is shown on page 4 and onward.

Running a DP-to-DVI converter has it's own issues though, as HardOCP's Kyle experienced "live" in this video, from about the 23 minutes mark.
