And yet it looks like there are the pads there for an 8 pin connector if they want it.. interesting.Flip it over, and there's little change to the PCB, too. The card sports dual-DVI and TV-out connectors, requires two six-pin PCIe power connectors, and features eight GDDR5 memory chips.
clock a 4870 to 850/975, bench, donebut whether or not the card can topple the world's fastest single GPU solution - NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 285 - remains to be seen.

Improvements:
+13% core clock
+8% memory clock
Should we expect an average 10% performance improvement?
That'd be my reading, certainly, unless there's any new artchitectural stuff under the hood... alhtough if this was one of the vaunted new cores I'm sure there'd be a bigger fanfare. Presumably that means we'll be getting a 49XX series of cards when the new core does arrive?
4870 can reach those clocks right now (easily on the memory side, a bit more work with the core). 4890 will have to have decent room for overclocking to make it worthwhile.
No HDMI out?
Potentially FUD, but interesting nonetheless...

I wonder if this release will bring the price of current cards down, or if it will just "cost more".
bit of both with any luck
