And they said it couldn't be done

[Bah!]

This card just seems to be an "we can do it also" type deal to placate the people who say that Eyefinity can be done with one card, why can't NV surround. Never mind the fact that one card is garbage for Eyefinity and anyone that's using a multi-monitor setup for gaming is going to be running SLi or CF anyway.

If a single 5770 can do this, then a single 5870 or 6970 should be able to handle three displays fine. Might have to go without AA in some titles... but it's doable none the less.

Um, no. A single 5870 isn't running either of those games at max settings on three monitors and neither is your 5770 on even one monitor.

Perhaps you require 30+ fps consistently. I do not. In fact, I find Crysis perfectly playable as low as 20fps. I've not played it with FRAPs running so I'm unsure of my exact framerate but I can guarantee that, excluding AA, all in-game settings *are* maxed. DX10. I'll see if I can run through some of it with FRAPs here in a bit just to see what frames I am getting.

20fps would drive me crazy. For me i need 50 or more fps to enjoy the game really, or my eyes would start to feel funny after an hour

So is this confirmed to be 2x560's on a board or what?

Not yet, but I have a feeling that is what it is.

Pretty sure that much is confirmed so far, that it's dual GF110's, just not how full featured they are. So there's room for anything from a pair of full clocked GTX560 to down clocked GTX580's. I'm hoping more for the second choice, down clocked 580's.

To be playable of course 30 fps should be consistent. And while you may find 20 fps in Crysis playable, you'll hit half that fps on a 5770 at times and I know for a fact Metro 2033 will run worse with everything maxed.

Anyway, my point stands. A single 5870 is not good for gaming with multiple monitors and the fact that you can actually install and play a slideshow on your 5770 doesn't change the fact that your post was highly misleading.

Whoa... really? You think it dips down to 10fps? Never once have I seen it below 20 in Crysis, DX10 all in-game options Very High. More often it actually hovers at or above 30fps.

Metro, I do have to disable Advanced DoF, and AA is "AAA", and it can dip below 20... about 17fps at some parts. No aa on either.

Kinda' funny on how you seem to know more about my rigs performance than I do?

Maybe I'll be able to post some screenies for you. Never used it before but I guess I could use that benchmark feature in FRAPs, if that'd be more concrete for you.

I was running Crysis, DX10, maxed (all in-game settings @ very high) with my dual 8800GTXs, this 5770 is actually slightly faster in most titles. Not sure why you're so surprised by this.

Download the crysis benchmark tool and run it at the settings you play at
