Will they use a new port/motherboard??? Then maybe there is a reason to wait...if not then wtf are you on

[ReGIONALS]

the new amd cpu uses am3 socket

All he's been doing lately is spamming about the awe of the new ATI cards. They suck. I bet the GTX 285 can beat the upcoming HD 5870.

Well AMD just introduced a card that could run six 30" monitors single handily. But naturally I'm pretty sure NVIDIA has something up their sleeve... again.

It's actually not that impressive from a technological standpoint.

Exactly. What kind of gamer would even need 2 monitors, not to mention 6. It's just these useless features that ATI has to include to make up for the lack of raw graphics power.

[Wrathek]

I'd say most gamers should have at least 2 monitors. then you can do other stuff easily on the other screen while playing games.

 

and come on dude. i only use nvidia and im not gonna say something as asinine as what you just said. amd can make just about the exact same "raw graphics power", regardless of who makes the newest top of the line.

[Shadowex3]

No, actually, you can't. Doing anything on the other monitor will cause the game to lose focus and minimize just like alt-tabbing would. I've got two monitors and while it's REALLY useful for windows so far with games it's only been useful for Supreme Commander.
