AMD Radeon HD 5870 X2 Pictured
Behold AMD's, and soon aimed to be the industry's most powerful graphics accelerator: Radeon HD 5870 X2 "Hemlock". Armed with two "Cypress" Radeon HD 5870 graphics processors, this dual-GPU monstrosity packs twice the shader compute power. From the looks of it, the card is slightly longer than its single-GPU sibling from the series, and is better ventilated, although the cooler design more or less resembles it. It draws its power from one 6+2 pin and one 6 pin PCI-E power connectors, just like two of its ancestors in the R700 and R680. Listed for pre-order on a European online store, a Radeon HD 5870 X2 by Club3D is priced at 677 EUR (incl. applicable taxes, 568.9 EUR excluding).

I want the power but I don't want to kick my HDDs out of the window for a 11+ inch card.:cry:
I can remove the HDD cage in my Zaria, but now where do I put my HDDs :shadedshu
Now, put a waterblock on that and send me one! Please! :laugh:
lol, I wish the wced versions of these babies come out soon!
I wonder how low they will get after nvidia releases the gt300 series
but if they think of selling prices like the 8800 Ultra when it came out many years ago, a real absurdity pay 1000 dollars for a graphics card.
Should have the current price of a GTX 295.
In price/performance it's not that expensive. It's so expensive because of it's awsomeness!
Though I will not buy any high-end ATi GPU with stock cooling sine my Asus EAH4850...
The MEMIO temps got up to 110 degrees in almost any game and then it crashed...
When the HD6xxx series launch, I'll get one with WC, till then my system will hold out.:cool:
S: It's my birthday today, I turned 16 and am now allowed to drink beer! :toast::toast:
VC length = e-peen length
Not even sure if that small fan on the end will reach ample pressure on the GPU on the far end.. plus all that vents further reducing air pressure.. hsf design fail
