4 screens? 5970 = 3 in Eyefinity + 1 from PhysX card?

Hey guys,

I am thinking about selling my GTX 295, upgrading to a 5970 and getting a couple more 27 inch monitors to run Eyefinity.

Thing is ... I have a nice Samsung LED TV that I have been using from my PC - would there be a way to run it as well as the 3 panels in the Eyefinity setup? Perhaps from a dedicated PhysX card?

Perhaps the best option is to just try to run the four from the 5970 ... but as far as i know ... it only has outputs for 3 ....

Any advice on this appreciated!

An exta gfx card should do the trick, or wait for the 6 mini-dp cards thats coming eventually. And I guess you dont have onboard graphics? :D

Hmmm. Have you any experience about how that would work? ... I assume I'd have a nice long extended desktop with the Eyefinity over the 3 Dell monitors.

The TV that's plugged into the PhysX dedicated card ... how would that interact with the desktop? I don't know ... it's all esoteric to me until I try it :D
