I don't know why it displays six of the same series.

Did I do something wrong?

Whoa, that's weird. Uninstall and re-install the drivers. If the same thing happens again, download the newest drivers from AMD. If it still does that, take the card back. There's obviously something wrong with the card's BIOS. You can get a better deal from newegg anyway:

I have the same thing with my 6800 series. It doesn't cause any problems. Maybe it's a bug in the AMD software with adding stuff to the task bar pop-up.

Perhaps but I've had my HD 4870s for years and have never seen that happen in my life.

I probably won't return it as long as it doesn't lower the performance of my card. But I've tried to reinstall drivers and it's still the same.

I don't think that is an actual bug, it is simply Catalyst Control Center's way to let you manage multiple displays without opening CCC. You will notice if you explore those menus that the options are grayed out except for Extend Desktop, which allows you to extend your desktop to another display. If you have multiple monitors you'd see that you have options to rotate or disable a display for each monitor you have plugged in, I have two displays myself, so I have options available for the first two instances of 'Radeon HD 7800 series' The 7870 could potentially do up to 6 monitors, though you would have to look at using a DVI splitter or daisy chaining Display Ports in order to get them all plugged in.
