When do the special Samsung-Eyefinity displays come out ?

I bought a 5870 tonight, and plan to run a triple screen gaming setup with it in the future, but I don't want to run out right now and blow money on outdated monitors, or spend a million bucks on the fancy NEC models.

I have heard lots of talk about Samsung working directly with AMD on special "Eyefinity" packages of new generation monitors. Any idea of a release date, like next month or not until Christmas ?

This post here on Raged 3d is interesting;

I know a couple of sites will do updates with Eyefinity performance. Clearly, games running very fast, run well on Eyefinity -- L4F at 25MPixels is very smooth, for example. Dirt2 was as well. AA is also somewhat less important, since there is so much more screen real-estate now.

As for monitors, we've partnered up with Samsung, and they will be introducing "small" bezel monitors shortly, available in kits for Eyefinity.

Here is a very good video review of "Eyefinity" with detailed explanation;

Last I read December 2009.

Won't the 3x displays simply kill the graphic cards?

I have a hard time believing even the CrossFired 5870 could keep up with such resolution.

My 30" Dell running Crysis on 285 GTX SLI at 2560x1600 averages 30-35 FPS (Very High, no AA/AF)

Try a 5870 or maybe two. Personally, I plan to run three 30" DELL or six of the new Samsung displays with a 5870X2.

2x285GTX are almost a match for 2x5870 (only a fe frames difference)

Get ready for a big disappointment. Unless you enjoy gaming at 3 FPS

This is one of the reasons I am swapping out my 22" lcd for a single 25.5". I know my system can breeze through 1920x1200, but 5040x1050 or 5760x1080 just sounds brutal for any card right now.

I hope they launch the stand apart from the rest, for me 3 would suffice, and their individual price is on par with their own 22", 23" monitors.
