I wonder if we have any hope of seeing none reference 5870s with 2GB and not just this eyefinity version... This is even more of a niche product than the dual gpu cards if you ask me. I'd honestly like to see a entry level card with this as I see 6 displays being used more for work flow than gaming and until CF works properly with eyefinity, it is kind of pointless ( I wouldn't want to run more than 3 1680x1050 displays with a single 5870 - let alone 4+ at a higher resolution )
And then 3 of these babies in parallel, then you are able to make some HUGE resolutions!!!
But hey, then there is a possibilty for a dedicated screen for every single program you are running!
Then it just needs to be posible to "stack" the desktop on them, not only extend it horisontaly.

Yeah i hope wee see normal 5870s with 2GB, thats the only reason i haven't bought a new crad.
Bulldozer can't show up fast enough either. Bulldozer better live up to THIS: Image
It will either make history or make AMD history if it doesn't. Intel's thread count is getting higher than Fugger's bed sheets!

The relevance of 2GB vram should really only make a difference at multi display resolution. Only highly texture pack modded games need an excess of 1GB vram even at 2560x1600 (unless we are talking high levels of super sampling which isn't playable anyways... )and this is a trend I don't see future games changing given development is largely at the mercy of consoles and the game engines console games use.
I'm willing to bet suppliers send out 2 Displayport > DVI adaptors max.
If you want another 4 you're going to have to be willing to pay the... maybe $6/10 each for one?
single link or duel link DVI? big difference
the only price ive seen for converters is right around 20$, so it will add up quickly when you think that every monitor you buy without DP, is going to cost 20$ more.
