I'd rather have 1 screen with photo realistic graphics rather than 12 playing games that look the same as they did... 4 years ago.
You don't know what you're talking about. I've a 5970 sitting next to me, and three 1920x1080's in front of me...
Modern Warfare 2 isn't 2 years old. Bad Company 2 isn't 2 years old. Far Cry 2 is but it's DX10. DiRT 2 isn't 2 years old nor DX9. Just Cause 2, ouch, need to turn the settings down to medium, but still not 2 years old or DX9. Call of Pripyat, can't run uber high settings, but sure does look good...
I think that covers it, right? It is offtopic though, because a 5970 won't comfortably run 6 screens, let alone 12...
Modern Warfare 2's tech is way more than 2 years old and it's designed for consoles. Thanks for proving my point, none of those games are remotely stressful or advanced, (except of course the ones that you admittedly have to turn down the settings on) and I call shenanigans if you're trying to pretend that your 5970 powers BFBC2 maxed 60fps at eyefinity resolutions. In fact, you don't bother to mention your framerates at all. It's pretty bad if right after you buy hardware, settings already have to be dropped and framerates are less than perfect. A 5970 can't even run Dirt 2 maxed at a constant 60 fps.

Nice looking game but it's not exactly taxing. How's performance in Crysis maxed and GTA IV maxed? It will be hard to get even a year of use before having to upgrade graphics cards.
He said playable, and I consider getting constantly over 30 fps very playable.
You don't need constant 60 fps, and in the modern stressful games you simply aren't going to get it even with only one monitor unless you go SLI or crossfire. Metro 2033 at very high brings even a GTX 480 to 45 average and that's at 1280 x 1024 (check guru review which if biased is in favor of the 480).

The reason people use eyefinity or 3d is there's really no benefit to having 100+ fps beyond bragging rights.
