PGdude all you need to know is that these new cards will be awesome and there will not be anything to beat it for quite sometime...if your looking for a new gfx setup then these will be the ones to get, also look out for the "Six" version which will have 6 outputs via display port (Display port can be converted to anything basically.

The way things are going 3 monitor displays will become the norm and the mental people will have upto 24 displays possibly more in the future.

Just grab them quick if you want one.

Oh and no i dont work for AMD, i do work in the industry but i buy my own gear and buy what i believe is the best :)

I'll have you know that I personally don't care for the multi-monitor support.


But I do care for possessing the 5870 and a machine that can handle it. You're post has info widely spread on many websites including OcUK, but thanks for reiterating.

Reality. Check.
XFX offers you the ultimate reality check with the new XFX Radeon™ HD 5870 and 5850 graphics processing units. Bringing three new dimensions to gaming reality, these graphics cards challenge the limits that have restrained your gaming. Until now.
First, ATI Eyefinity Technology literally broadens your horizons by enabling you to spread out across three displays at resolutions of up to 1080p. Use this “wrap-around” in-picture experience to become fully immersed in your gaming—or productively immerse in your work.
Second, ATI Stream Technology gives your system a significant boost by offloading tasks usually sent to your CPU to your GPU. The result is a more balanced gaming platform that can handle the demands of today’s fully immersive games.
Third, both the XFX Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 offer full Microsoft® DirectX®11 support so that you can push your settings to the max and still game at the highest resolutions. And, sure-to-make-you-blink 3D effects are generated through HDR Texture Compression, DirectCompute and Tessellation.
As John Lennon once said, “Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” At XFX, we couldn’t agree more. Especially when you’re talking about the XFX Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 graphics cards.
Game on.
