Re: 6970 or 560....
Honestly from what I've seen I think ATI area ahead on the multi monitor front. I would have to recommend the 6970 just because of that alone.

However, I don't think you can do this with NVIDIA surround: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dv-sys...echnology.html Will the 2007s have the same sync polarity as the 3007? For sure they don't all have a common resolution. I doubt this works with NVIDIA products, but will forward to them. If it does on a 6970, that would be the choice.

Re: 6970 or 560....
I have a deal pending on 6970's right now, we shall see what happens.
I did set a budget this time around, I feel i'm growing old; And really Nvidia priced itself out of the competition imo (for me this go around at least). |

Re: 6970 or 560....
NVIDIA guys say they haven't tested this config, so no guarantees on it working.
I'm sticking to my 6970 recommendation for those who wish to span three 2007FPs in portrait with a 3008.

Re: 6970 or 560....
Cards are in and installed, let me just say i'm frustrated and nvidia drivers so far are leaps and bounds ahead of the game.
