AMD’s Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Reviewed
Last September when AMD unveiled its new DirectX 11 GPUs, we were promised the ability to drive a minimum of 3 or a maximum of 6 displays off of a single card. Every single AMD DX11 graphics card that has launched since has delivered on that promise, even down to ridiculously low price points. The one thing we've been missing is a card that we can hook up to six displays. Until now that is.

This is the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition. It's a standard 5870 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory instead of the default 1GB, all clock speeds are the same (850MHz core, 1.2GHz memory). Power requirements go up slightly due to the increase in memory size, and thus the card requires a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connector. The big difference is the Eyefinity 6 Edition's 6 mini Display Port connectors which allowed us to drive one ridiculous display in today's review.
