As a previously frustrated 5870 Crossfire Eyefinity user, that is awesome to hear!  Hopefully the dawn of the new age of all games supporting Eyefinity/Surround mode natively is almost here now that the hardware has caught up and both companies support triple monitor on one card (finally NV got it's acto together), woohoo!  I miss using my 3rd monitor... currently trying to stay patient so I can compare GTX 685 to the HD8XXX.

My 5870 Eyefinity setup is running pretty good with my three 19" monitors. All that will change when I go 24" next September though...

My 5870 Eyefinity setup is running pretty good with my three 19" monitors. All that will change when I go 24" next September though... Yeah I loved my single 5870 at 1920x1080 and it is/was a top performer for more years than I would have expected, the main problem was that the 1GB VRAM just eventually became not enough to handle the modern higher detail textures combined with 4xAA at triple monitor resolutions for me (5760x1080). It is/was an awesome card for the money for 2-3 years even after 2-3 generations of cards had come out and one my personal favorite GPUs I've owned. Eventually I got a second 5870 to crossfire but the same 1GB VRAM limit was still there and many of the sims I play didn't benefit from crossfire so I had to upgrade. That hit/miss support for SLI/Crossfire is why I am not even considering this dual GPU internal SLI 690 or the forthcoming 7990.

Agreed. Crossfire seems better in theory than in practice. All my future cards will be single ones. Is NVIDIA surround better supported and less problematic on the whole than crossfire?

I should of mentioned I too have Crossfired 5870's. However one of my cards is a 2GB Eyefinity 6 Edition. For games that don't work in Crossfire I have the full 2GB of video mem. For those games that do work in Crossfire, I just turn down FSAA to 2x and Anisotropy to 4x-8x. I haven't ran into a video mem issue yet! But I do have 12GB of system memory to back my graphics cards up... I'm going to hold on until ATI comes out with their 8xxx series, and then probably wait 6 months after that. The NVidia 685 offering is very very attractive if true, but the whole thing has just been a mess... That 690 above though!!  I can feel my wallet catching on fire just reading the price tag...
