This card offers the high end performance qualities of the popular Radeon 5800 series combined with six mini-display ports for an extreme six monitor display capability.

The Radeon™ HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 delivers the latest HD gaming performance with Microsoft DirectX® 11 and Windows® 7 support. Featuring ATI Stream Technology, the 5870 Eyefinity 6 boosts system performance by offloading tasks from the CPU to the GPU for better balanced platforms and accelerated digital home entertainment.
