I know similar set ups have been possible before via various means but still - that looks like it could be one monster of a card.

Personally, I think 3 screens is more useful, at least for gaming, as you don't get a massive bar through the middle but it is an impressive showcase nonetheless.

Aye its nice but with the 'joining lines' I'd have to my uninterupted 37" @ 1920x1080

Gotta agree with you there Mark, from a productivity view it's good having more than 1 screen but for watching movies and playing games I'd stick with my 1 screen personally

ditto - very impressive showcase but it would get on my tits after awhile.

Not for me in terms of gaming, but could be excellent when doing a delightful mixture of CAD, rendering, graphic design, general admin and keeping an eye on things

Thats seriously impressive.
I always buy AMD/ATI if I can as I don't have to change drivers daily to get certain things running.

Think thats my next card/s sorted already.

ATI are a bane for me at the moment!

Ever heard of Atikmdag ?? If so - that's my bane

Trouble is, doing a press demo at 1080p and saying 'Look, WoW runs at 200fps on the 5870, up from 150fps on a 4870, arent we awesome?' has considerably less 'wow' factor than a single graphics card powering a game across six screens

I don't think you'd ever really practically use such a setup, though 3 screens can be fantastic for racing games and the like.
