cnet.com – We don’t have dates, prices, or benchmark scores yet, but after a demo in our offices last Thursday, we can at least report on our brief experience with AMD’s forthcoming Eyefinity graphics card technology. By enabling you to connect up to six monitors to a single PC, Eyefinity opens a wide array of display possibilities with appeal for a number of different kinds of users.

Even before we saw Eyefinity in person, it was clear that this is a niche technology aimed at those willing to spend a lot of money. By way of example, AMD brought in six, 22-inch Dell Professional P2210H displays and a pair of Adtec vertical mounts to support them, for a retail total cost of around US$1,650.

We’ll guess and say AMD’s Eyefinity-capable graphics card will cost between US$500 and US$600 (again, a guess). Even if AMD charges US$400 for the card, adding no premium to the standard Radeon HD 5870′s on which Eyefinity is built, you’re looking at a US$2,000 investment for a six-display Eyefinity setup, assuming you already own a fast-enough desktop to run it.
