We know that AMD is busy readying a Radeon HD 5870 card with six DisplayPort outputs, which it pitches as a high-end multi-monitor gaming solution, but PowerColor reckons it makes as much sense on a mid-range 5-series model.
We're not entirely sure why the outputs are limited to five rather than six and PowerColor's explanation that it's a technical limitation doesn't resonate with us, yet we can see a use for it for folk who want a five-monitor output more for productivity than gaming - the GPU simply won't cut it for 3D duties.
PowerColor informs us that the Eyefinity5 card will only carry a small premium over the rest of its 5770 line of GPUs. Expect to see it fairly soon and start saving up those pennies for five monitors if it has whetted your appetite.
