Where are the 6 Displayport Eyefinity cards??

[microterf]

Is there a release date for the 6 port eyefinity cards?? That to me was the most interesting part of the new 5XXX series cards. Haven't seen anything since they initially showed it at press release.

That is actually two 5XXX cards in crossfire.

Nope - Eyefinity isn't supported with CF. There was a card demonstrated that had 6 mini displayport connectors on one card.

how many monitors do you have?

I currently have 4 monitors. 30" Dell 3008wfp, 2 26" Viewsonics. 1 23" Acer.

I'm really looking to do a new build though just for games with 6 smaller monitors. Right now I have a 4870x2 and a 4870 for the 4 monitors that I crossfire for games. I'm running a Phenom II 940 @3.2 so even just one 5970 would be bottlenecked by the CPU currently. I'm probably going to pick up a Gulftown 6 core when they hit the egg to do the new build with, and keep my current setup for applications and programming.

My issue is that I haven't seen ANYTHING lately about it. That was the biggest thing they were advertising at press release, and got me excited, but haven't seen any word on a release of these cards (just like the 2 GB 5870s).

If a Phenom II is bottlenecking your 5970 then an i9 isn't going to help. You'd be a lot better off buying a 2nd 5970 or a 5870 for tri-fire and assume that ATI get the eyefinity drivers fixed.

If I remember correctly back when the 5800 came out toms had an article saying that the 6 port Eyefinity versions where due out in Dec, but that was months ago and I have also not heard any new news about them.

I thought it was due nov, either way shouldn't be too hard to find an article or two pointing to the date.

I have been searching and searching to find out a release date on the 6 display port cards. All I can get out of AMD is that its confirmed that the cards are mini display port and there coming but I need to know WHEN?????

Anyone? They keep this stuff as apple product releases.
