Oh dear, there is much ignorance in this thread.

They can run NVidia Surround, which is multi-monitor (3), but it requires the cards to run in SLI for it. You can use any card from the 2XX series onward (assuming driver support, at least this is what I read)

5xx series does not have Eyefinity since they are Nvidia cards (=^.^=)

Nvidia 3xx series are for portables only

No eyefinity, but as mentioned above there is Nvidia Surround

I dearly dearly hope it could run five instances of wow, considering many people were boxing on 8800s, myself on a 9600GT for a while. Then the 2XXGTX cards from nvidia came out. Each next iteration does it better.

It is my understanding that if you have multiple monitors the only real way to go is nvidia since crossfire does not kick in for non fullscreen apps. What about dual gpu cards from ATI, will the user see benefits when using 5 windowed wows?
Just like using a single gpu card with two(+) monitors?

World of Warcraft doesn't benefit from SLI/Crossfire. What dual GPU cards/multi-GPU setups allow you to do is split up the rendering of slaves between GPU cores to increase overall performance. It all depends on how you set it up.
