No, there is no 5970 E6. That picture is really old.

Here's the PCB comparison between Eyefinity6 and normal HD 5870 cards. They're of the same length.

It's going to use more POWER

8pin + 6pin

Guess the extra video outputs and ram require more amps.

6 Screens! :twitch:

I wonder if they're ever going to launch a 3-monitor HD5870 with 2GB, cheaper than the Eyefinity6.

Hahaha That card reminds me of the Combine trains in Half Life 2

ok dude the additional 2 pins on a 8pin are Ground Lines, they do not provide power.

Money $$$

The graphics card industry is going in the wrong direction if you ask me. Instead of giving the option of running 6 monitors in brilliant resolutions, lets figure out how to make these cards run more efficiently, and more reliably and aimed more at the middle income consumer (that is cheaper and better forecasted to not need upgraded in a month) that has to sell older equipment in order to buy the new stuff that will never be used to its full potential. But, he'll have one lol! I honestly do not think that the system will ever be used in any practical application besides by that "one guy" that no one enjoys being around anyways because he has to one up everyone else, or you will might see it in demo mode for new games in conferences. But using all of these monitors is something that I doubt much off us will see unless we youtube it! :ohwell:

HD 5870 Eyefinity3 1GiB = 225w max
HD 5870 Eyefinity6 2GiB = 300w max

I'm just waiting for a professional monitor that has such small pixels that it requires a 6 DisplayPort connections. XD

Yeah they do. One is a +12V for up to 25w additional power and the other is the ground for that +12V.

HD 5870 Eyefinity3 1GiB = 225w max
HD 5870 Eyefinity6 2GiB = 250w max

I imagine GDDR5 doesn't consume much power, hence the small increase.

I'm just waiting for a professional monitor that has such small pixels that it requires a 6 DisplayPort connections. XD

No, they are both grounds. Neither is a 12V+ at all. Take a closer look at your 8pin PCIe connectors. 3 12V+ and 5 Grounds.

EPS12v 8-pin connector is how I said (page 16 here). I'm still trying to find PCI Express power...

The official spec documentation is not available to the public (membership required) for PCI Express.

According to a third party source, you two are correct. A summary according to that source: 6-pin has a 75w maximum with at least two +12v & ground pairs (the third pair may be omitted); maximum 2.083 amps. 8-pin has a 150w maximum with three +12v & ground pairs and an additional two grounds; maximum 4.167 amps.

Makes no sense to me but I stand corrected.

I think it was just a marketing gimmick to get us all to buy the new fancy 8 pin psus. Nothing more than the hardware manufacturers being in bed together.

The two extra grounds allow it to output a total of 150w vs 75 w of a 6 pin.

you know, safely :laugh:

Screen with no annoying breaks in it is better than constantly wondering what the bezels are blocking to me. Then again, I'll never be able to afford this kind of setup anyway.

The bezels don't block anything -- the pixels leave off at the edge of one monitor's screen, and pick up at the next.

Another nail (or 2) in the Nvidia coffin!

So if the 5830 is going to be in the 150-250 range maybe a good drop in price for the 5770 is coming?

I would be willing to bet the 5830 is closer to the $230-250 range

Exile_Chavez · Feb 22, 2010

From what I have read on this thread, sounds like the 5770 and 5830 are going to be neck in neck. Both have Eyefinity, and DX11. 5770 has (at least mine) higher speeds, and the GDDR5. So I guess for those people who want to say I have an 5800 series this is it?

HD5830 has twice the memory bandwidth, which is quite a bottleneck in the HD5770. It should be 40-70% faster than a 5770. They won't be in the same league.

Lol, no retort for that. If my girlfriend saw me gaming in front of three monitors I'm quite sure she would reconsider our relationship. Now if I can just get three monitors where two fold behind one, I could keep it under the radar!

lol when i got my 920 i hid the box in my closet behind my chess board so my GF wouldnt find it
