Triple Display Performance

In its initial press presentations on the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition, AMD argued that the larger frame buffer would come in handy with triple-display configurations. To test this theory I ran through our suite with three 1080p displays running at a combined resolution of 5760 x 1080. 

For most games I had to disable AA at this resolution. It's simply too much for a single card to drive. Even at high detail settings, I saw no real advantage to the 2GB 5870 E6.
