ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 1GB GDDR5 Nude Shots
I spotted some new nude shots of the upcoming ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics card today and decided to share them with you. Little is known about the card's specs at the time, but what's apparent from the pics is the black PCB, the two 55nm-built RV770 GPUs and the PLX PCI-Express 2.0 bridge chip situated between the GPUs. On both sides of the PCB there are 16 Qimonda GDDR5 chips for a total of 1GB video memory. Also one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI-E connectors will be needed for proper operation.

hopefully...
think it was quoted as being 1.8x on the dual gpu design vs 1.5x scalability on 2 crossfired cards...
hmm... since the "joining" of the gpu's is done earlier in the pipeline maybe the overclocking ability will be enhanced compared to that of the old style internal crossfire bridge of the 3870x2
Wish they all would go black on the PCB's.
**Unrealistic scenario suggesting that 4 year olds read and reply on this forum (which sometimes seems true...) following:** "Mommy? What's mastru____?"
Come to think of it, I think the forum lost its chance at being anything below PG-13 the day it was born (I win the trophy for lurking!)
Edit: Nevermind. I don't think I even OWNED a computer at that point...
The designers deserve a round of applause
but damn sexy, though! :toast:
On a lighter note, I feel like reaching through my LCD & pulling out the card...
They can't be the OMLY producers of GDDR5, can they?
Imma waitin' on HIS to pump one of these out.:D
This black pcb is really sexy, and by the estimated numbers this beast can output.. oh man :rockout:
I heard estimates that price should be 450-550$ if I'm not mistaken.
