AMD Radeon HD 5870 X2 Pictured

buggalugs · Sep 28, 2009

Nvidia is obsolete,,,,

omg how many mudderfkin eyefinitiies can i hook up to this puppy? I tink a standard 5870 is enuff for me. ya. And you guys crying about teh length, any girl will tell you it all about the girth, anyway dont forget with no power connectors on the end its probably easier to fit in the case.

Here's another design candidate. The cooler shroud matches that of some of the oldest pictures that came out of ChipHell:

No, it's not going to look like this, but it's a working prototype:

^You can see a heatsink between the GPUs (there's the bridge chip)

Ze back:

^although the card has 6 + 8 pin power connectors, there's placeholders for two 8-pin connectors.

Personally I much prefer the design that appears to use 2x Zalman VF8xx series coolers.

As for the length, I love it, my high end cards need to pack a fair amount of 'cleft' to em, however this is biiiiiiiiiiiiig.

5890x2

and finally,

6890x2

Awesome, period.

Bo_Fox · Sep 28, 2009

So, it's longer than a 4850X2 from Sapphire?? (Exclusive 4850X2, not 4870X2)

Bigger motherboards (some X58 mobos), bigger cards, and what next? Will we go back to 5.25" hard drives that use 5 inch platters for 2x the capacity? I bet many of you guys would love to buy 4TB hard drives even if they were released in such format today!

And then we'd need new mega-size CTX tower cases to accommodate the bloated sizes, along with 200/300mm fans to cool those quad-chip 600mm^2 GT300 cards on dual PCB's! What else??

It looks like the 5870 is a tad longer than a 4870x2 (almost all are the same length, regardless of manufacturer) . . . and considering the 5870x2 will be longer than the 5870 . . .

. . . this card could land friggin airplanes inside your case.

yeah but the interface is PCI-e 2.0 or PCI-e 4.0???

Reventon · Oct 4, 2009

Anyone know the specs on this beast?

jaredpace · Oct 4, 2009

Thanks for the avatar, lucy pinder is so fine

miamimuscleboy · Oct 7, 2009

same length as the 4850x2 11.6"

my temjin tj6 (upside down) has room for a 14 " card if it needed PSU on top with harddrive case get on of those and plus it looks better than having the video cards upside down in a regular case

Aceman.au · Oct 8, 2009

Ill get it if there's a dual molex to 8 pin power connect

. Just fits in my case and will sucking air thru the front air filter PERFECT!!!

po0finga · Oct 29, 2009

Aceman.au · Oct 29, 2009

So you value your computer more than your family? Thats sad...

Kantastic · Oct 29, 2009

The size is, ironically, not a problem for my P180 Mini provided I remove the bottom HDD cage. ^_^
