Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition Spotted
Among the three main high-end graphics SKUs AMD has in store for this 23rd known so far (namely Radeon HD 5850, HD 5870 1GB, and HD 5870 2GB), is a fourth distinct SKU called the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition. This is a variant of the Radeon HD 5870 with specially-designed connectivity that makes setting up to six displays possible/convenient for making use of the Eyefinity multi-display technology that lets you span a display-head across several physical displays like a mosaic.
On its panel, the card has a large air-vent occupying one slot, and six mini-DisplayPort connectors occupying the other. Necessary cabling will be provided to connect to the displays. While each accelerator supports six displays in all, multiple accelerators can be installed on the same PC without any multi-GPU setup, to scale the size of the resulting display by up to 24 displays and up to 268 megapixels of effective resolution. It remains to be seen if there are similar Eyefinity Edition SKUs based on other AMD GPUs in the series, especially considering the fact that the company is also eying the business/productivity market segment.

Thinking of a new card around feb time depending on whats new and such. Whole system haul in 2011 which means the cost will be much higher than the PS3 will ever be lol.
All though wish i could find a better second hand shop as Gamestop sucks lol.. Even more so with them fading out EB.
And with Batman AA being on the PS3 with with exclusive content i just might get it for the PS3 ^^. And at the same time save on the electric bill too lol.
also, I write off the extra cost as my PC being utilized for everything I do. from banking, ripping/listening to music, storing media, watching movies and gaming- it does it all. the more I upgrade the better it performs
that is with all the eye candy
and also particles and effects..
looks like crap on XBox
