Your confused. I have 2x470's which is 20-30% stronger than a single 580 and I have a lot of games that I cannot get higher FPS at 6110x1200. I either have to sacrifice settings or play it in windowed mode at a lower resolution. Thats on a system running at 4.5Ghz with 24gb of ram and the subject games on a 256GB SSD... Where do YOU think my bottleneck is?



Ah yes, the multiple monitor falacy.

I guess I better hook up 12 monitors on the wall and then claim nothing runs it.

Sorry, but I am talking realistic uses and you fall somewhere in the less than 1%.

I am sorry, but you are wrong. There is a HUGE diff between running a game with two monitors hooked up and running a game in multi monitor mode/resolutions.

And no, I am not in the 1%. Depending on who's statistics you believe I am in the 8-11% range. But just like when nobody believed me when I said 64 bit would and should be mainstream, multi monitor is growing and growing FAST. It's one of the bigger selling points of AMD cards ffs. If AMD was not so ridiculously difficult to get to work correctly on Linux I would be on AMD now.

There is a rumor floating around that the 7970 could have a launch December 22nd (less than a week from now). Though that could also just be a paper launch with very little product actually available.
