These belong to Kinc & AndreYang, but they are so pretty they deserve to be here:

Any one knows if you can run eye finity with these or you have to wait for the Six version ? I hope they make the 5870x2 Six , that is if you cant run 3 monitors on a non 6 card .

I wonder the price for the 6 version .

**Chickenfeed** · 10-02-2009, 09:27 AM

My guess is 50-60o more MSRP in 2GB only configs for the six.

**LC_Nab** · 10-02-2009, 09:56 AM

Mmm the question is can the other non 6 cards run 3 monitors with eye finity thats the question O_O . And that would be good if its just 50 or 60 more , assuming that is .

has anyone mentioned when 2gig 5850/70 might arrive. havent heard anything yet

**wekktor** · 10-02-2009, 11:11 AM

Hi everybody, I registered to the forum today

I have 5870 and when I play games like GRID and Colin Mcrae Dirt the computer often crash. When I run 3dmark and ATITool to see if it is stable, it doesnt crash or anything. But as long as grid and dirt runs it works perfect, no artifacts or low fps or anything. Do anybody have the same problems as me? This happen both when I have stock(800/1200) and oc'ed(1015/1200, 1.25v)

I have Antec Quattro truepower 850w which worked perfect with 4870x2+4870 but I changed to 1x5870 due to issues with multi-gpu, heat and dx11

Could it be driver issues since it is only beta?

win7 x64 fresh install
tested both cat9.10rc6 and rc7

Hello,

Do you thinks that one 5870 can handle 3 full HD screen correctly ?

Thanks

yes, you can run 3 monitors only with one 5870 full hd but one of those it must have a display port ....

**antho** · 10-02-2009, 11:32 AM

The Hardocp guys did a video review on Eyefinity. They didn't seem to have problem with the performance of using one 5870 and gaming on 3 monitors.

**antho** · 10-02-2009, 12:27 PM

Awesome,

Thanks for the link ,
i thinks i just have to wait for the triple DVI connection to work , then i will go for 2 more 26"

**Rattle** · 10-02-2009, 12:39 PM

did you do anything special? care to share a little more :P

**CrimInalA** · 10-02-2009, 10:39 PM

It's possible to use the MSI tool for non MSI 58xx cards ?
Does the tool accept voltage changes for other cards than MSI ?

You can use 2 DVI's + DP with active adaptor.
The other option is to buy one screen with DP input and that way save on adaptor.
There are passive DP->DVI adaptors, but they are limited to single link DVI (1920x1200x60Hz).

**Scooby** · 10-03-2009, 05:32 AM

I'm sure in time with more mature drives most of the issues we are seeing now will be resolved. I for one would like to have three DVI connections than use DP...at least for now.

**antho** · 10-03-2009, 09:35 AM

Did someone was able to make it run with a active adapter, because in the upper review, the blue screen make me doubt...

Maybe i will go for a cross fire but i will have to upgrade my power supply

**Omarko** · 10-03-2009, 12:11 PM

Yes, here - LINK

5870x2 already this month?
What will be the price tag?

That's an interesting question. I don't know, but tipping $599, or maybe is hope for $549? Just a wild guess, tho.

**Chickenfeed** · 10-04-2009, 11:39 PM

$549 would be a good deal but given the lack of competition, they could very well ask ( and get ) $599. I know their presentation slides put hemlock at < $500 but in light of the current market that sounds irresponsible of them.Again this makes me question its performance. I would believe $500 if it isn't 2 fully clocked / functional R870 gpus.

I'm not sure about AMD CCC converter, but PowerDirector and MediaEspresso are working absolutely fine on Vista x64 with GPU acceleration from HD4870 as well as HD5870!

I will try CCC converter when I get back home later today.
