XFX is showing off a Radeon HD 5970 Eyefinity6 card at CEBIT this week. Tweakers.net has snagged photos of the card, and posted some information on it. Since the site is in Dutch, I have taken the Google translation and posted it in full below. Hit the Tweakers.net site for more photos of the graphics card.
