Nvidia cards can run two 2560x1600 images over their dual DVI. Display port could process 3840x2160 each.
With Nvidia surround you can have up to 3x 2560x1600 panels, unless you had three cards with display ports.
AMD's option is nice, but has it's own set of problems. Since each card only has two clocks for the digital outputs basically, you need an active adapter to get display port working as a third output. Which are pretty expensive and can cause tearing.
And I just recieved my 6950 today..
[QUOTE=Civil;33866432]What?
Radeon 6000 series+ can have 12 million pixels per card while Nvidia still has 2560x1600 per card or what it was.[/QUOTE]
He randomly bashed NVIDIA without a real argument, but even worse is the fact that he pointed out his unremarkable milestone of posts, a pathetic attempt to get attention.
i thought you would last, 5770

I don't understand why a active displayport adapter is a option when displayport monitors are not that much more.

Just two casual guys sitting naked together looking at each others junk.
It's a real shame graphics cards get outdated so quickly
Although I don't plan on upgrading my 6870 for a while
You should think about getting a second 6870 anyway.
I do look forward to the new GPU's but I'm more looking forward to new consoles, just so we can move graphics technology forward to take advantage of the new hardware.
I am still on a 5870 v:v:v
5870 is still plenty powerful.
[QUOTE=Shad0wZ;33861908]The 7870 or even 7950 would be a great replacement for my 4870.[/QUOTE]
If you have the money, as of yet the 6950 / 6970 has sufficiently worked for me. (upgraded from 4870)

"Because it was 12 inches last year."
BAM! Penile analogy.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;33859750]Competition - prices will probably drop a bit. [editline]23rd December 2011[/editline] Yeah maybe not rushing, but I think we'll see people upgrading to the new series when the rest of the cards are released. Prices will drop, the mainstream 7*** (probably the 7770) will have the same performance as the 5850 or thereabouts, and I'm pretty sure a 7870, and over will look mighty appealing if they reside at the ~240$ price point.[/QUOTE]
Nope.
1. Flagship cards take up the most die so they get made first and establish base mean pricing.
2. AMD have already stated to at least three different sites they don't feel the need to drop their prices anymore to be competitive. green and red cards are going to be pretty much the same price, with the best performer being the most expensive.
If you're going to wait for a mainstream offering, you could be waiting until June at [i]least[/i].

Mid-late Feb.
My 5770 is looking older and older, it still runs what I play on max though so I shouldn't need to worry :smile:

I know, I just wanted to mention it because my 5770 struggled with it a year ago. heh
[editline]25th December 2011[/editline]
Even so, I bet he can't run ArmA II max with a 5770.
I'm looking to buy a 560ti and a i5 2500k. Considering I'm currently on an AMD Athlon 5600+ X2 2.8ghz and a 4870 1gb, are the 560ti and the 2500k worthwhile upgrades considering the announcement?
Yes.

You're motherboard won't be compatible with the 2500k though
I upgrade every 2 series, I currently have a 5830 and planning to go for a 7970 soon. I'll wait when they release the 9xxx's series after that.
