My own head
I've been going over in my mind to buy eyefinity for some time... but given the fact I have to buy an adapter and I already have two 4890s, doesn't it make more sense to get triplehead?

I been trying to weigh up the benefits of buying a 5870 but I can't find any yet? Id have to run my games much lower due to power capabilities... and buy the £70 adapter for my 3rd monitor?

What do you guys think is my best option given my current setup?
 
Bah lol I need 6144x1152 so I think it is out of the question... :mad:

O well atleast that cleared up my dreams of an effortless setup! If I haven't blown my brains across my walls by the end of my finals next week I may purchase.
 
Cheers. Will a 5870 power my needs? That is all I am worried about tbh. I mean 2 4890s allow me to play every single game at maximum settings, including Arma 2 etc... I don't want to lose that ability.

So what I'm asking is how much will i have to turn down games in eyefinity mode? I won't bother purchasing it if I have to play games at normal settings, these days I play games for the environments and graphics so losing the ability to appreciate that would not be an "upgrade" for me.

Any ideas from any eyefinity owners out there? :)
