radeon 6990
The XFX HD6990 is the fastest video card on the planet and provides the most realistic and rich gaming experience possible.This beastly beauty in a quad-CrossfireX rig with Gigabyte's P67A-UD7. Setting up 5 inexpensive NEC ea231wmi IPS monitors with both native portrait-mode & displayport capability left me but a few color calibration, bezel adjustment & Eyefinity-group creation steps before enjoying breathtaking 11.1 megapixel resolution. Eyefinity has been streamlined in both software and connectivity via AMD's latest cards. Dissimilar the distracting screen-tearing, inactive Crossfire compatability, & nauseating stutter / microstutter / jitter output that permeated the technology's first year has matured to a relatively glitchless & streamlined solution. It's culmination has no better suitor than AMD's own flagship 6990! There's no other card yet engineered capable of rendering 5x1 portrait at uncompromising image quality (nvidia doesn't support any but 3 monitor landscape/portrait). Scaling down to 3x1 landscape or portrait on the 6990, for ya'll Eyefinity types, will not disappoint. I'm talking 8xAA/16xAF with everything topped off in damn near every recent, new, or soon to release game. With my Koolance waterblock, I've climbed up to 1075/1500 (core/clock) without voltage regulators catching fire. When paired with a third or third+fourth 6970, you'll enjoy quad scaling so good you'll have to run multiple API monitors (Fraps, Afterburner, RadeonPro) just to verify that they are, indeed, reporting the correct frames per second. Can't say enough about this great product.
