Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition Spotted

[thraxed]

So if you have 24 monitors, can you have 24 folding clients?

 

[AlienIsGOD]

Im on board for a 5850...as long as its a 1gb im in!!!!

 

[eidairaman1]

I wonder what the R870 FireGL will be like

quite alot more, you maybe paying for the same card but that money goes into drivers mainly for Fire GL

Nice Pics, thanks man.
and finally ATI put the power connectors in a place that makes sense. I'm annoyed by the fact that my 4890 requires extra space on the front for the power connectors even though I have a full tower but it's not good for cable management. as for the 24 Monitors of course it's flashy and eye catching but come on guys do you really need to connect 24 displays at once. I mean for gaming a 32" full HD Display is more than enough.

anyways waiting for the launch of that baby so i can get a nice price drop on another 4890, LOL

 

[eidairaman1]

stop complaining, they arent forcing you to buy it, i mean they have Different SKUs.

Don't care, cause in like three weeks there will already be talk about the 6870's coming out.

Have you seen the specs for the 9000 series. The 9000 series will be able to manifest physical objects in your room. So when you get shot in the game, the graphics card (renamed the reality matrix engine) creates a small projectile and hits you with it. Non-lethal of course.

, im pretty sure the 9 series will be announced in about three months or so. Thats how hardware is.

really cool people say War Craft I guess.

 

[Taz100420]

Sweet! Now just to save up the $1,000 to get one

Hey DaMulta, Ur Pole Position cabinet is beckoning for one of these with 3 monitors......

 

[TheLaughingMan]

So if you have 24 monitors, can you have 24 folding clients?

No, but you can have one displayed across 24 monitors....then realized you could built a folding farm of like 4 computer with a total of like 10 GPU's for the price 24 decent monitors would cost you.

Come on Dude, have the spirit for ATI and hope as without them nVidia would ramp the prices of their cards so high you would actually feel like you been f*cked up the ass.

 

[DanielF50]

hehehe me too I have 2 of them that will be getting sold to make way for the 5870 1GB. .

haha, nice one but surely if you wait for the 5890 1gb you'll have more fun with that? Ill probably only have enough for the 5870, but two 4890's has to have been more than one 5890 is going to be ^^

Im talking about both Ati and Nvidia, theres really no point in getting this since in about a couple weeks there will be rumors about the next series of cards coming and there tech specs. It gets old and tiring when you try and work your way up to buying the ''top tier'' cards, cause every card that comes out only lasts a couple months on the market and gets phased out.(which was a main factor in why my interest in hardware went way down). I probably sound like a broken record, but its a serious issues for me.

 

[KainXS]

I wanna see how these cards overclock, if this card can OC to 1Ghz, then it would really be a monster, nothing would touch it.

 

[aj28]

They would have a huge market opportunity releasing a 5330 (or similar low-end SKU) that supported Eyefinity. I think a lot of people would be surprised at how many fairly regular consumers purchase two or three graphics cards just to run the necessary number of monitors. They would stand to make a huge profit margin on such a card given how much they'd be able to charge versus the alternative, that being the purchase of three independent cards, a supportive motherboard, and an IT guy to have on hand when you need to update drivers or accidentally mess up your configuration...

 

[WarEagleAU]

ZOMG that thing is beast. I cannot wait to see some raw numbers.

I am starting to feel like this too after shelling out for 2 4890's just recently.

 

[lemode]

Damn, I want to know the price of that Eyefinity version! Sooooooo happy I didn’t waste my money on the Matrox head2go system!

Then you just skip a year that way more interest can be gained .. Reading about it in a thread is not going help either lol.

I guess we have to hope for some thing much more special than the last year and as seen the so said specs of the 58xx range sound good it should give a nice edge to PC gaming. Better than the 48xx range did thats for sure.

Crazy thing is thinking about the 68xx range will it be double of what the 58xx is.. Which to me is going kick ass if it turns out that way..

Don't have much interest in this years as i am not buying a new card. BUT always good to keep up to date with whats what right.

Just seems that AMD are finally making a nice come back and it's good to read about.

If you keep thinking about what's next, you won't be able to enjoy what's out now..
