Hi All:
Wondering what the fastest video card supporting 6 displays is.
I currently am using a Visiontek 7750 Eyefinity 6 (2GB). This card finally works great in 10.9.3 with no artifacts. It's a single slot card, and doesn't even need a power plug. You could put 4 of these in a MacPro and drive 24 4k displays, sick!
Anyway, the 7750 is actually a little slower than the ati 5770 (although supports way more displays and is way more power efficient). My need for displaying 10+ displays is somewhat on the wane, and I figured it would be cool to have at least one fast card for my main set of displays.
So, does anyone know of a good fast card that will support 6 displays (preferably all mini display port (or maybe 4 mini display port and 2 dual link DVI ports)?
So far, the best I've seen is the Visiontek 7870 here:

And I've seen this monster ASUS 7970, but it has 4 display port (instead of mini-display ports, and cannot use 6 2550x1600 displays (only 5 of them)):
http://www.amazon.com/DirectCU-1000...F8&qid=1400978624&sr=8-4&keywords=eyefinity+6
Problem with the above ASUS is if you use all the ports, one of the DVI ports cannot support dual-link (and all my displays are 30"--weird compromise they made there).
So is the 7870 the fastest 6 display card? Thanks for any pointers.
