If you want to max out, well 5970 as Tator Tot said, or you could probably get away with Q-SLI 295, CF 5870s.
Any of the solutions mentioned above will work.
U can get 1 5970 or Quad-Fire 2x 5970

Your post is not very clear. Do you want to run the game on both screens at the same time? If you do, a 5870 will not be enough and using 2 5870s won't allow eyefinity in crossfire mode. The only choice, in this case, is the 5970 because it is the only CFX card that allows eyefinity. It will keep your FPS at an acceptable level and it is , somehow, future proof. The NVIDIA counteparts have the same limits like the 5870. SLI does not work on multiple monitors at the moment.

If however, you do not wish to play the game on 2 screens at the same time, then any of the CFX and SLI combos mentioned above will suffice.

Dude, it quite clearly says I wanna run crysis at 1080p on 2 TVs.

It doesn't clearly say whether you want the TVs to show the same content or the output to be split across both screens. Which is it? You could easily get away with a single 5870 for the former.
600Hz? What's the maximum input frequency? 60Hz?

Noo with 600Hz i was basically stating the model of the TV. It's propably gonna run at 75Hz. It's those 600Hz motionflow TVs, the ones with the silly advert.

Please forgive my confusion. If that is the case, people have been recommending things which do not work, mainly because the post was so clear. I doubt the savvy people on OCN will recommend a CFX setup if someone says they want to play on two screens at the same time. The only decent card for you is the 5970 g'day mate.
I think a 5870 could hack is as long as you're not addicted to aa or af. I play crysis at 5040 x 1050 and still pull min 30 fps. And my resolution is higher than yours percieved resolution by over a millions pixles. Also two monitors / screens suck for fps, splits everything right down the middle.

"Oh yes sir that setup looks awesome, but why do the badbuys disappear down the middle of the screen when I try to shoot them?"

This.

Couldn't you just say I want a card to run Crysis on 1080P instead of trying to 'Show off' that you have a pair of giant TVs?

Please go buy a 5970 and be done.

Or go smaller and go 3 monitors. Two monitors does just look terrible. Some games like rts and so forth looks alright with two, supreme commander being one of them. But anything where the actions is centered just is annoying to watch.

Mmo! Fps! Action rpg! All look pretty painful, trust me

Dude, first off your original post was not clear, you did not state the details. And then when people didnt exactly know what you meant, you attack them and act like they are idiots. Its bulls**t if you ask me. You came here for help, now give these people trying to help some respect and answer their questions. If you want a good answer that is

Yeah dude, i wasn't exactly 'attacking them' or insulting their intelligence for that matter, so don;t go off at me.

and I do know what i'm doing, and the hiring wasn't exactly offical, it was more of a friend-to-friend thing, I was just wondering what you guys thought.

Seriously, can you not get ANY help from this ****ing forum without getting flamed? now THAT is bull****, my friend.

And dude...? i think, judging by the fact he said that i was 'showing off', would pretty much mean he was attacking ME. So i really don't see any point in the statement youre making here.

you were clearly showing off, if you were not you would have not used that stupid marketing number and simply used the model number of the tvs you are trying to use.....
and any modern card with multi dvi/hdmi out will work
