orderd 1 of these from ocuk yesterday to use with 3 22" samsungs 1920x1080. after reading reviews i think im wasting my time. in a few months i could probibly xfire it but not sure what with or if i need a second card.

can anyone give me some opinions on this?

cheers
 
I will power them fine but i don't think gaming will be very good. You will probably have to play on low/medium settings.
If i were you, i would get a 6950/480
 
If your planning on gaming with the three monitors then you will be disappointed , HD6950 CF would be more suitable, your basically looking at a resolution of 5760x3240, to say a HD6850 is going to struggle is an understatement.
 
6850 i THINK.
Personally, i would DSR this one and get two 6870's if possible for some extra power. If you get the XFX one with all the free stuff, you could sell the games to cover the extra money it cost.

dpends on your budget
 
I have have 2 cyclone 460's and the cooler is very capable but like was said, on a 3 screen eyefinity setup you'll have poor gaming performance I would have thought. Go 6950 and unlock to a 6970.
 
Maybe a 3GB 580 and an adapter that alows signal to be changed to 2 montors from one cable?
A budget will allow us to help you more
 
the budget. well the 6850 cost about 125. so another 1 would be 250. a 6950 is 225 deliverd. so realy i dont want to spend more than that. i play games like wow coh online the occasional fps. i will probibly get hawx 2 for the pc rather than x box because of 3 monitors.
