| Just sold my 3 GTX260s and my TH2G, bought 2 GTX470s. I have now tried nVidia Surround, EyeFinity and Matrox, I can tell you that the nVidia solution is the far easiest to set up and use. Noise and Heat of the cards is not an issue if running stock in SLI, but if you start overvolting and overclocki... |

Because windows 7 allows the installation of more than 1 video driver to the system. XP does aswell but u cant get Eyefinity with XP
Hence the question about Win7 :) |

I have purchased one of these from the UK seller linked in this thread, got the item 2 days after payment so thats the good news out of the way.
bad news if just like the active DP adaptors the monitor connected to the DP blinks black randomly. |

| Yes this would work, limitations of eyefinity are only, that each screen has to run at the same resolution, and they have to all be in the same rotation. So if you are happy with the screen running out of there native res it will be fine. You may find it heloful to have a few profiles set up, so tha... |

| I'm under the impression that a single dual-link dvi port can only support resolutions up to 2560x1600 (i.e. 4096000 pixels). If you're trying to do 5040x1050 - that's 5292000 pixels, well above the maximum that dual link dvi can support. You would have to drop the resolutions down a bit - 3x 1440x... |

| Also you can get a PCI Physx PPU. A PCI-e 1x or 4x Nvidia GPU for Physx. All motherboards have spare PCI-e slots except maybe micro atx versions. The cost increase would be minimal. Actually spare PCI-e slots are harder to find that you think, alot of people here that have been into triple head gam... |

Depending on where you live and if you only have 2 current monitors, you may find that a Dell2210 is as cheep or atleast very close to a adaptor + 22" panel. Ill use UK prices as a example, (this may be different i... |

| Think this is more academic with your setup than anything, as you will be pushing more than 10.1million pixels, in a graphics card that is 2 years old. Your frame buffers are going to be two big even with AA/AF off with the limited VideoRam on that card. On top of that you are pushing half of those ... |

| The 5870x2 4GB, assuming that is 2GB per core, and not 4gb per core, then the frame buffers and only generated on the VideoRAM allocated to the first GPU, the ram for the second GPU is not used for anything. So in that regard it would still be 2GB/6 Monitors, or 1GB/3Monitors as per then GTX285. In ... |

| 5870 has a performance boost of approx 15% If u can wait to run CrossFireX Eyefinity (when its supported) your 3rd option would be 2x5850's for about 160% of a single 5870 for an additional 33% cost over the single 5870. Keeping in mind that you will need at a very minimum a 650W PSU, and a CrossFir... |
