New video card

[not5150]

A single 4870 X2, runs 5 x WoW on one screen very well for me. I don't think you'll find a single card on the market as strong, and its in the $600 range. You might find 2x another card in SLI/Crosslink to be superior, I'm not sure on that.

I have the 4870 512 MB from Palit and it runs 5 WoWs just fine. 1920X1200 with keyclone/maximizer. Good 55 fps on the main screen. I have the others set at 20fps max.

4870s (not the x2 model) are hovering at around $220 and up on the major e-tailers. Very good bang for the buck.

People who are talking about running WoW just fine -- GO INTO DALARAN. I was fine on my 8800GT all the way through TBC and even while I am leveling in Northrend I am ok, however, Dalaran takes a huge dump on my performance -- I go from 40-60fps while outdoors to under 5 fps in dalaran.

I am actually planning on moving from a single PC / 5 WoW config to a 2 box config, because even the latest and greatest video/CPUs don't seem to handle dalaran ok 5 boxing. And I want flawless follows and gfx turned all the way up while on 5 flying mounts, not crawling through the city like a quadraplegic leading 4 blind people.

sli and crossfire will only support one monitor. unless you use a spliter and set the resolution to 2500x800. this is the only way to do it. look up matrox duelhead2go.

BIG BANG ATTACK! TWO!![/quote]nvidia's sli multi-monitor support doesn't work for both cards displaying a 3d program. that will work if you want to display a webpage on one monitor and wow on another. but to run 2 different 3d programs on 2 different monitors will require you to use duelhead2go and extend the resolution for both monitors.

I only have crossfire, so I guess it doesnt.

But erm, you have to be dumb to use crossfire/sli..... a quick google search proves it doesnt work at all. In fact, crossfire, for example, is detreimental to FPS.

for WoW anyway... there are plenty of games out there that see a performance increase from SLI. just wanted to clarify that point ^^
