The Radeon HD 5970: Completing AMD's Takeover of the High End GPU Market

Left 4 Dead
Finally we have Left 4 Dead, another title that’s fairly easy on the GPU. The game is approaching (if it has not already hit) a CPU limitation, even with multi-core rendering. 145fps appears to be the approximate cap, and our cards quickly approach this. Because of this cap, the overclocking advantage is only 3%, and the 1% difference between the 5970 and 5850CF is practically immaterial.
Finally the GTX 295 gap is only 17% here, thanks to these cards coming up against our CPU limitation.

I doubt 30" @ 120 will be here soon. 1920x1200 @ 120fps is the theoretical limit of a dual link DVI. 2560x1600 @ 120 would require a quad link DVI, or a twin HDMI, or a twin DP connection. And it would still have to be a TN panel as of 2009, because IPS just isnt fast enough for 120 yettdktank59 - Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - link

build your own stand - look at www.8020.net for everything you would need for such a project :)Visual - Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - link
for 90" screen you would need 3x3=9 screens.3 30" screens in portrait mode give you about a 54 inch diagonal
