help with crossfire and eyefinity?
so im building a computer, and im stuck on the GPU, i want a eyefinity competiable GPU that can play games on medium settings, and i want a 2 card combo that can support crossfire (1 card has both eyefinity and crossfire, the other only has crossfire) OR if you can find a eyefinity GPU with atleast 2GB of memory under $160, i'll be happy
FYI: last resort: 2x XFX 6770 ($200)
@nicholas, my current setup only supports PCIX2.1 at most, and the 200$ is last resort
@papojfcuc guy, where'd the h___ you find that deal? all i see are 2__$ price tags (USA), and 2 low end graphic cards wont support 3 screens,ive read nemorous threads, it only appears that 1 GPU is working (display out) if using cross fire

For $200 the best options for crossfire-eyefinity would be either the 7870 http://www.hardwarepal.com/article/radeon-hd7870-b... @ around $240 or the 7850 at just under $200. They both have 2gb vram which is a must at higher multi monitor resolutions. The 6770's 1 gb ram will be mirrored not doubled in crossfire and most current games will either lag because of lack of gpu power or plain bottleneck because of ram. 1.2gb vram is used in Battlefield 3 @ 1920x1080 ultra settings.

Eyefinity is the technology AMD uses to be able to plug in more than one monitor to a single graphics card, currently supported by all 6000/7000 series AMD cards. This is different from the Nvidia cards, where the 500 series cards needed to be in SLI to support more than one monitor. (the current 600 series cards can support more than one, though).
CrossfireX is where you can connect two cards together to get almost double the performance of a single card. But i do not reccomend it because it takes more power, but also sometimes using 2 lower-performing cards costs the same as getting one high-performing card.
the best card for your situation is going to be the HD 7850. the 2GB version currently comes in at ~170/180 dollars, and is one of the best 'bang for your buck' cards out there.
