| I looked into this recently and discovered that some cables/adapters that use DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort do NOT work properly with some monitors. It appears that if the cables are designed for Apple they may not work with non-Apple products. So it appears that there may be some issues with the w... |

| Hi Moose. There is little sign of the card in the stores here in Canada either. I have my order in for one and am waiting patiently for it to arrive. Bye for now. |

| We haven't heard from Moose in awhile. I guess Moose is still waiting for his card to come in. I am looking forward to his review and experience with it. On another forum there have been reports of high VRM temperatures, sometimes exceeding 100 degrees. I am hoping to buy a graphics card, not a room... |

| I am using a local bricks and mortar store too. So far, they have had competitive or best prices for the items I have purchased. They will match internet competitors' prices with shipping added. I hope that they will be honorable if something goes wrong such as a faulty Video card or whatever. :) |

| Hi compres I truly hope your suspicions are correct; however, I am not willing to make that assumption just yet and spend over $600 to find out it has not been fixed. Therefore, I shall be patient once again and wait to see what the experience of other users will be. I have started to buy the compon... |

| When I started to look into using 3 monitors I was initially planning to get 2 video cards, and probably two HD7970 cards. However I have seen many comments about stuttering and tearing that lead me to deciding to get a single HD7970 with 3 identical connectors such as the ASUS HD7970 DirectCU II ca... |

| Thanks Paradigm Shifter for this BAD news. :) This may help explain the delay in the release of the HD7970 DC2T model which was previously attributed to voltage regulation, I believe. Given that Newegg.com just advised me that the HD7970 DC2T model is now available (but the web site still says out o... |

However, I have been investigating triple monitor gaming and my current belief (without any experience yet as I am about to purchase a new PC system f... |

| Well, I made a BIG purchase today. Not what you are thinking! I bought a new Hyundai Santa Fe! :) My 9 year old van has 260,000 KMs on it and is rusting from the salt used to keep the streets free of ice. I am still waiting for the DirectCUII cards to be in stock. I have "almost" decided to get a si... |

| Thanks Moose for the info. I look forward to your review of the Asus HD7970-DC2T-3GD5. If they do indeed go on sale on 22 February, I would definitely like to know your views on how this card works to run three monitors in eyefinity. I am about to pull the trigger too. Only two more days to go! :) |

| I was thinking of crossfire prior to the new cards coming out. Now with the DirectCU II TOP card announced, I think it will meet my requirements without going crossfire and getting into problems, which seems to be an issue identified by many on the web. Now if only ASUS would ship the product so I c... |

Thanks for the advice Moose. I will probably go with the single ASUS HD7970 DirectCU II TOP graphics card and the ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card. That will meet my needs and save me $600. :)
I will read the thread you included shortly. |

| Thanks for the advice Wijkert regarding the microstuttering (caused by Crossfire) being far more severe than the tearing (caused by using different connectors). I would rather get the CUII card because I could connect the 3 monitors using Displyport cables without any adapters. Would using a single ... |
