    Default GPU for running 6 monitors

    Hey Guys
    I currently run 6 monitors powered by a single AMD 5870 Eyefinity 6. For the most part I have been very happy with it.
    However, more and more I am beginning to hate AMD and their crappy drivers of late.

    My question is what would your suggestion for an upgrade?

    More background as the question itself is super vague.

    [Edit]
    Totally forgot the specs. Sorry
    Running a EVGA X58 SLI3 board. Fairly old.
    First Gen Core I7-950
    12 gig memory

    Though I do enjoy a good mulitbox session, this rig is used mainly for work. Yes I do utilize all 6 monitors while working.
    I do like that I can run a 5 box team full screen on separate monitors, and that since they are all on a single gpu ISBoxer has no problem switching to a main monitor.
    The monitor switching, though I do really like it, would not be something I would hang my final decision on. Just a nice to have.

    I don't plan to mine bitcrap at all.

    I was looking into the Asus Rog Matrix R 280x as it will support full eyefinity 6, but they seem to be really hard to find. I also don't like that all this mining crap has inflated the prices of AMD cards.
    I also don't plan (at this time at least) to run SLI/Crossfire. Peggle runs blazing fast on almost anything.

    I look foward to hearing your feedback.

    Thanks
