AMD / ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics Card
The fastest single GPU for sale and much more.
Let me give you a few little facts about this beast.
- It is capable of running at 2.7 teraflops.
- It is made up of over 2 billion transistors, twice the previous generation.
- It is the debut of AMD's Eyefinity technology, allowing you to play standard games stretched across multiple monitors, with resolutions up to 7680 x 1600.
- This card is twice as fast as the 4870 that preceded it.
- It is the first card to offer DirectX 11 compatibility.
AMD has smoked Moore's law with the development of this silicon, and with Eyefinity's multiple monitor gaming, you get new features to go with your new power.
You can read about this card on PC Perspective as well as see videos of playing standard games on triple 30" LCD displays.
If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
