Who cares about the price? if your splashing out for 3+ displays it would be madness to quibble about the cost of the cards best suited to drive them...
Exactly, just buy a 30" dell / HP and be done with it.
I'd need someone to supply me with an extra 2 screens first.Yeah get some benchmarks up for that, would be interesting to see, or are you just been facetious ?

Roff, remember tn 1080p/1050p screens can come pretty cheap these days. If you already have 2 then the outlay for a 3rd isn't too much. Starting and expanding with a u2410 was painful though.![]()
Nobody denies the GTX480 is a faster card overall but comparing the two is like comparing a Walrus to a Polar Bear.

Made me chuckle
This thread is like pin the tail on the person who hasnt tried or even looked into getting 3 screensThe cheapest GTX 480 costs £390, the cheapest 5870 costs £275, my 3 screens cost me £300...that £100 just bought me my third screen, oh but wait if i wanted to do that with nvidia i'd have to whack out another £390 on a second 480!! when one 5870 manages 5040x1050 perfectly fine!!

I've noticed as a GTX 480 owner, the only people who complain about the noise.heat and power usage of the 4xx series, are those with ATI cards!! very strange!!![]()
i'm happy with mine and have no problems with it, i've never been into SLI, but after seeing this review, i might add another one, once i've saved up![]()
[H] already did that, 480 SLI was found to be faster. At which point people started to cry and pull out the price/performance shtick which they always do when the more expensive product is found to be faster. Personally I find this to be utterly tiresome and is why I would like to try and get together a bunch of tests at set resolutions people can agree on, so we can all test our hardware and compare it to systems out there (built in benchmarks and FRAPS min/max/avg would be good). It is something that everyone can get involved in, even those AMD shareholders who have a vested interest in talking the company up.![]()
And it is faster
Not strange & you logic is totally flawed.
It would be strange for someone where noise.heat and power usage matters to them to by a 480 thus they bought an ATI.
Lets see some benchmarks from you then, you know some real life figures ?
Because i will be honest so far the Nvidia users seem happy to put some up where as the ATI users talk about it but we see nothing.
This is not a dig i have a genuine interest in seeing some figures as do i imagine others.
My tri fire setup owns 480 sli and tri sli.. Runs cooler and is cheaper then 480 sli....
