That is some GPU, is there anything around which would support that?
What is it now... T-minus 8 days?
Afaik it launches on the 23rd so 9 days if my calculations are correct.
Fantastic. Unless Nvidia releases something amazing, I'm switching to ATI. I'm especially glad the 27W idle is accurate.
Probably won't buy immediately; not in a huge rush and it gives the other suppliers time to come out with the lower noise and cooler Vapor-X alternatives..
The question is whether Eyefinity supports CRTs as well as TFT. If so, I'm definitely looking at a six monitor version if the premium isn't huge over three.

You're worried about idle power consumption and hoping to run 6 CRTs :eek:Quote:

im going to install it later after work :drool:
Wow! Where did you get the graphics card from Pingu2003?? Thanks for the posting the pictures!!
Anyone have anything reliable on a 5870x2 date?
No :). I currently have two CRTs and one TFT. When the CRTs die, I'll replace them with TFTs. There's the vague possibility I might add another TFT on a ceiling or wall mount VESA bracket to play around with.Quote:

Damn that card is fast, assuming the benchmarks are accurate.

This thread just became very bandwidth unfriendly.. any chance of a resize?!!
That card is mahoosive.. looks like they look a leaf out of nVidia's 260/280 book.
If those benchmark figures are accurate, we have a hit after all :)
i've been seeing reports of Crysis running at a decent frame rate :o
From all the talk and hype, I thought it was going to blow the 4870x2 away....not even close :(
Still no photos of the power connectors? :(
Gotta be power hungry to beat the HD4870X2 by 17~ frames.
x6 x8 or x6 x6?
