Yeah the RV7xxx series wouldn't fit the requirements of the Wii U (since it basically needed a GPU that handled multi-display with ease). Since the most basic GPU AMD has that utilizes Eyefinity is the 55xx series it is possible that Nintendo went for that at minimum. Most practical would be the lines of 67xx series, seeing that it is a modified 55xx series designed for Blu-ray, 1.4aHDMI, etc. |

Eyefinity is just driver support for treating 2 or more displays, as one really big high resolution display and it technically requires the displays to be the same reolution. which is nothing like what the Wii U does with two independent (or mirrored) displays each with different resolutions.
The Wii U also doesn't support Blu-Ray playback and as far as I know is only HDMI 1.4.
