PowerColor has officially announced the world's first graphics card to support up to five displays in the form of the Radeon HD 5770 Eyefinity 5 Edition.
The card, pictured above and first seen at CeBIT 2010, is a unique take on AMD's reference Radeon HD 5770 and comes with an ATI Eyefinity-powered array of five mini DisplayPort outputs.
We wouldn't expect the Radeon HD 5770 to have enough power for high-framerate gaming across say five 1080p displays - 9,600x1,080 is a lot of pixels, after all - but the productivity crowd might have something new to add to the wish list.
Keeping to AMD's reference specification, PowerColor's Radeon HD 5770 Eyefinity 5 Edition will come stock-clocked with its GPU set at 850MHz and its 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at an effective 4,800MHz.
PowerColor still isn't willing to be specific on pricing, unfortunately, but it has previously told us that the Eyefinity 5 Edition will carry only a small premium over the rest of its 5770 line. Need a ball park? Well, the company's regular 1GB 5770 currently fetches around £115.
Taking a guess at the small premium, a pair of Radeon HD 5770 Eyefinity 5 Edition cards in CrossFireX, hooked up to say three 1080p monitors, looks a decent bet at under £250. That's excluding the monitors, of course.
