Cool. Is there any real difference between that Sapphire brand card you recommended and this Asus brand card?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121671 I have an Asus brand motherboard. Is there any positive effect to match components by brand?
Bummer on no adapters. To make a three monitor Eyefinity group with the 7970, which ports on the card do I have to use? What cables will I need to make this work to simply be able to plug in the new card, hook up the monitors to the card, and create a triple monitor Eyefinity group?
Thanks!!!
