Unlikely - that'll be the 5870x2.

An erroneous thought but the styling reminds me of a 1950s bus.. :)

Looking at it my moneys on that being the X2 as well, think im going to hold out and get the X2 this time around, as long as it doenst use 8 pin power connectors though, 700 Watt Seasonic PSU and it doenst have 8 pin connectors, only 4x 4 pin :(

More Batmobile than Bus, I'd say...

what a convenient launch date right on my first payday:D launchday pricing at around £250 do you reckon?
might pull my full upgrade forwards now.
Re: News - AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 pictured, dated
It's not an x2. You can tell by this image.
Re: News - AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 pictured, dated
I wonder how many monitors that thing can drive at the same time.

I think he means the 295 beater will be the X2 - that's what I mean at least.

This would be an awesome birthday present (25th, natch)
But as I said before - if the release date is so close, why are they keeping details like specs and pricing close to their chest? Surely they'd want to advertise how great their card is so people bung in their preorders (note like video games, DVDs, films, etc)
Re: News - AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 pictured, dated
seeing as im about to do a system upgrade end of this month... WIN FOR ME!

The 5870 is apparently priced at USD400. If we do a straight FX =~245GBP
Plus VAT = £281
I think I might wait till they come down a tad.

I think they try to keep the specs and release information secret so that they can continue selling old stock.
