EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1461-KR GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card $189.99 after mail-in rebate card at Newegg

Apparently this is not the card I thought it was. Thought it was a GTX560Ti. Looks as though it's a regular GTX560. Didn't know they even made those??? Guess they do now. Odd.

Is this card capable of driving 3 monitors at once?

How would it's performance compare to a Crossfire setup of 5770s?

My guess is it would be a bit less fps in games vs 5770 CF. I don't believe Nvidia cards let you do 3 monitors at once unless you are in sli mode with 2 cards.

Although this does have mini hdmi as well. So maybe it can. I'm not sure.

So for $150 total for the crossfire set up, would you recommend that over this solo? Higher performance + lower price, right?

Should be. Depends on what 5770 CF gets you for performance. Hard to figure out. From what I'm reading people are saying around a 5870 for performance. Maybe just a bit shorter than that. A 5870>6870. This new GTX560 is about = to a 6870 according to Anandtech.

"As has been the case with most of the GTX 500 series and Radeon HD 6000 series launches, when the cards are close, it’s only close on average. In this case the GTX 560 Mid is similar in performance to the Radeon HD 6870 on average, but this is because the two are constantly swapping for first place, and the difference between the two is quite dramatic at times. On average the GTX 560 Mid is ahead of the 6870 by just enough to justify its $200 price tag relative to the 6870’s price, but the final choice is still heavily game dependent. Just because the GTX 560 Mid performs $20 better doesn’t make it the better card if you’re going to be playing games like Crysis or STALKER, where the 6870 has a definite lead. But if it’s going to be games like Civilization V or HAWX, then the GTX 560 Mid is the clearcut winner."

My vote if you plan on spending that much would be to just look for a 6870. The prices on Newegg and on Slickdeals are around $167 - $175 http://slickdeals.net/forums/show...&t=2959861

I wouldn't buy 2 5770's for Crossfire. 5770 bang for the buck has been beaten by the GTX460 768. At $167 - $175 for a 6870, it just doesn't seem to be worth it to do 2 5770's. Plus later on you could always crossfire the 6870. Also this card JUST got released like a week ago? It's not really some uber deal. It's coming in at $10 less than what it would be normal msrp according to Anandtech. Remember though if you're doing high resolutions and multi monitors Vram starts mattering. So a card with 2gb of vram like a 6950 2gb would help a lot. But those are a bit more.
