Got 3 1900x1200 monitors(28" 28" 24") and a 1280x1024 15", a 5850 going to be able to run all of those with no issue? 2 on DVI 1 on HDMI 1 on DP port.

I got a 285GTX currently with a 6200 running all 4 of em currently, but the 6200 is dying so figured i'd make an upgrade to the 5850 if it can run all 4.
 
You will only be able to run 3 monitors off the 5850. you can only run 2 DVI Monitors and displayport, or 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and the displayport. Not HDMI and both of the DVI togather.
 
You can only do 3 monitors on a normal Eyefinity board and even then one has to be running on the DisplayPort. So you could at least get 3 of your 4 monitors on one board. Now you could get an Eyefinity 6 model which has 6 Displayports on it and use DP->HDMI/DP->DVI adapters and then you could run everything off one board but I think only 5870s come with Eyefinity 6.
