I'm holding out for the Eyefinity6 edition too. I'm running a 3870x2 with a triplehead2go and it's ok. But having 5x1 monitors would just be kickass.
I just hope 5x1 is supported when it's released...

Can you give me a hint... will it come out in the next 3 months?

Is it one of these? If so, I'm scared to ask where you plug in the DP cables? :lol:

The DisPort is off-shot in the bottom left of the screen, where the rear-bracket is partially visible. ;)

Okay Dave, I graduate in June, Will the card be out by then so I can get my parents to get me one for my graduation present (or atleast finance me a bit on it)?

Am i right to assume that a 5870 6 edition will crossfire nicely with a current 3 output 5970 for tri crossfire but ability to utilise the 6 outputs?

If so...yay...and the only issue i can see is if the 6 edition is a 2GB version, which would also be fantastic but will alter my plans.

There have lots of rumors that it will be 2Gig (and why not, to support 6 screens on 1 card... you need 2gig or more)

Just to check. I'm waiting on the "six" as well, could I create two spanned groups, one group being 3 x 1920x1200 and a second group of 3 x 1280x1024...?

That would be interesting, if not I wonder if you could do it with two cards that aren't in crossfire.

I think this is something that is being worked on. The intent would be to create more than one DisplayGroup per board. Of course, one would need to be selected as the primary and game rendering would need to go to that one.

Okay, cheers for that. Actually I thought it was already implemented - thought I saw a screenshot of a setup screen somewhere with the two groups - guess not.

Anyway, I'm wanting it for FSX - main stuff on the three spanned 24" and the three spanned 19" for panels/guages etc. Could still do it with the single span of three and three independent screens I guess, assuming FSX supports all outputs Windows sees.
