"ATI Eyefinity technology with support for up to three displays"

lol we'll see how that goes.. seems promising altho might not be as automatic as our TH2G's

i could be wrong tho!! i have my $299 set aside =)

i bet the 3 monitor support is the only reason that they added the 5040x1050 resolution support into the drivers. they got it working for the new card, as this was a requirement and then made it into the old ones.

the interesting question comes up... with 2x DVI, 1x Displayport and 1xHDMI does that imply you get some sort of HDMI to DVI adaptor? or how will the 3 support work?

but this may imply its monsterously powerful.

the 1GB ram may be because its so close the power requirements that they cant add another 1GB. you only get 25w per "line" on PCI-e power, so 75w for the 3 slot and the 100w for the 4 slot, plus 75w on the socket itself....

all speculation at the moment thought I think :P

my numbers are based on facts, but the actual specs of the card and my reasonings may be just fantasy :P

It's all speculation. It could be just as helpful to us as Big Bang II "multi-display" SLI turned out to be. :lol:

My cynicism is kicking in as the only thing we know about it is there is a marketing name for some unknown feature.

I'm gonna hazard a guess that it's a marketing spin on 'this card can use 3 screen at the same time'. No 3d, not game-friendly, it can just display 3 parts of the desktop at once. A bit like 3 circa 1998 pci video cards can ...

the interesting question comes up... with 2x DVI, 1x Displayport and 1xHDMI does that imply you get some sort of HDMI to DVI adaptor? or how will the 3 support work?

HDMIto DVI and Display Port to DVI cables and adaptors are fairly and easy to find.

what i was meaning was it wont be a simple, oh here we go 3x DVI cables to screens and away we go. Unless the card is like 90% thermal efficient, a lot of the "output" area will be taken up with slots to exhaust the heat, there is also room for a HDMI, DP and 2 DVIs? WOW, want to see that (unless the HDMI is an adaptor off a DVI).

i wants pics!!!!!

While id be kinda excited about ATi doing native 5040x1050 support etc for use in games (which in turn might make it more of a standard) id be kinda pissed too considering I just shelled out $640au for my TH2go like a month ago :?

that card looks *very* short, and it "only" has a 6 pin power connection (you can see the back of the solder).

I think personally that will be the 50 model. not the 70 one. But thank you!!!!!!
