Ati 7870 with lastest beta driver+ 30”hp + 27”dell, no problems so far I replaced gtx285 with this radeon the ‘cube test’ runs at 150+ fps, wireframe on heavy models seems to run much faster than nvidia
My Zbrush head test (8 million tris) runs at 290+fps vs 25 fps on 285. but with scenes with 500+ objects I see no difference between this radeon and 285. if you have any specific glitchbug to test let me know, Ill check if its present.

(openGL on a second monitor was a problem I had with earlier ATI cards…) And may I ask which version of soft do you use?

I was one of radeon 7970 testers and can confirm all the best about it. I replaced gtx 580 where I had with an script (rotating cube 831x800x800 subdivs in full screen shaded) approx 17fps and after like 30 esec of rotation goin gup to 80fps, and right after I replaced it with radeon 7970 fps jumped to 170fps, no lag at all. Huge improovement over nvidia, plus support for 4 monitors does come handy as well (running all 4 of them without problems) I can only highly recommend ati over any nvidia card now. gtx cards seems crippled completely gfor SI, and quadros are waaay more expensive and still I got better results then some quadro cards when we run some tests here on list couple months ago. good luck :)
