well right now Newegg has the Sapphire Radeon 5870 EyeFinity 6 edition for 280$. I was lookin to upgrade GPUs and get either the 2 5870s and CF them or 2 6950s and CF them. Then i saw that the 6990 is "possibly" getting released on the 8th, so that made me look at 5970 prices which will (cross my fingers) drop with 6990 release.
The 5970 im looking at is the XFX Black Eyefinity 6 Edition 2x2GB Card.
So i am wondering would it be a better deal to get the 5870s for 280 ea, or get 2 6950s? (i know ~ the same price) Or wait till the "8th" see what the 6990 brings and either snag one of those or watch the prices on 5970s drop and make a move?
Current Setup is 3 dell 23in monitors in suround with my 460s. and have a plan of 5 in portrait later on.
"top of the line" is NOT a must for me all i want to be able to do is max out all settings and have at least 2 or 4x AA in games and the 460s cannot do that at 3240X1920 or 5760X 1080.
Let me know what you would do or what you think!
Also Perfect CF scaling is not important i just want a GPU that will work with 5 monitors and will play games and at my Req. Settings.
