mmmm do I smell envy in the air? Oh yes, the sweet smell of envy and feeling defeated so any silly comment is good to try an restore some pride.
I use the LCD for regular browsing but I changing my setup, this is just temporary one. I want to have easier access to both.actually i wanted to ask why you keep that small monitor near you. isn't that uncomfortable you could gain some space by removing it i swear

I guess after making a fool of yourself by making a stupid comment that proved to be WAY wrong, that is the best you can come up with....good for you, go back to flatlands and you non geeky triplemonitor setup, if you have one.
I wish parents would keep children away from pc forums
Yes, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be doing homework or chores or something?
The 280 dont loose mutch more value by waiting a little more time as they lost most of it value by now after 285 and 5870 and there is always people that buy "outdated" stuff and dont care about latest and greatest. Some even want a second hand 280 to go SLI.

Way wrong about what?
Dude one again, DLP that is my display, please research.
lol? Is really that hard to do a couple mouse clicks and realize you have me mistaken for someone else?
now where's the pick of the uber nvidia glasses? you sound delusional about your dlp setup no thank you. Old tech <---- that way pls.
Do you even have a point to make with that post?
It seems you are running out of ideas so do this, take a break, think about a few things then post tomorrow, I promise I will read it.
And I'm not saying everyone with 3xGTX280 should upgrade to a 5970. There are benefits to upgrading and every upgrade comes with trade-offs, and it's the task of the user to determine whether or not those benefits are worth it. If I had 3xGTX280 (which I wouldn't, not my style), I would upgrade to a 5970, but that's my personal opinion, no more, no less.
Depends on what price Fermi is released at and its availability. I'd say most likely yes, but by how much is anyone's guess.
Of course you won't, how many times can you ignore me showing you how wrong you are. That's funny though, this coming from the kid who yells "LOL PWNED" at people when he doesn't have a decent argument or evidence to back up his claims. The irony is so thick it could choke.
is not impressive (being nice here) ie too big/too close, input lag etc.Read HardOCPs review.
EyeFinity is ready for the 5970, period, the end. You know this how??? What constitutes "most of the time"??? Do you have one??? I can tell you from my experience with my 5870s in CrossfireX, running on a single monitor the cards are well utilized, hitting 80-95% usage nearly all the time. I have no idea what the 5970 will do, I have to take ATIs word and Kyle's word on that............I won't pretend to be an expert.
My benchmarks were run just like everyone else does them.
I don't really need to explain that to anybody, I didn't do it to run around the forums screaming about the performance......nor do I troll around contradicting what other people have to say.
What mattered to me, was, was the purchase worth it before I sold or used my 285s in some other way.
I had a horrific time with the 4870 X2s and I was very skeptical about buying launch day products again.
So I ran some basic bench run throughs when I got the first 5870.
In FarCry2, using the built in benchmark, medium ranch, the minimum FPS on the 5870 was 15-20% better and the average FPS was 20% better............in nearly everything I've done so far the minimum frame rate was 15% better across the board, making for a much smoother game. The 5870 did not kill the 285s, but a SINGLE card did what two could not, and has more features...........what's not to like. 389 dollars versus 800 dollars, it's not hard to see the benefit.
I did not select games that I felt favored ATI, in fact every game I looked at has the nvidia logo associated with it.
To be honest, I don't care much for your insinuating I don't know what I'm doing or maybe I'm making this all up.........I have nothing to prove to anyone.
The guy asked for my opinion about the 5970.......I think my experience with the 5870s has been very positive. I think they are the best and most innovative GPUs to come out in years.....much on par with the release of the 8800 GTX a few years back, except even more feature rich.
I am not a fan of either side. I just think the 5870s I have are worth the money and they are better performers than my SLi'd 285s.
Perfect set up I think would be a 5970 and a quality 50" Plasma 1080p monitor for an enthusiast. Just because eyeinfinity is new doesn't mean 3 24" monitors is some how better than a 50" plasma 1080p monitor. Besides, looking at bezels in the game FOV just aint right. It will be like playing with static artifacts IMO. To each their own.
