    News - Fermi-less XFX comes out all guns blazing with 4GB Radeon HD 5970

    Two full-fat HD 5870 GPUs on a single PCB, half-a-dozen Eyefinity outputs and a machine gun. What more could you want from a graphics card?

    After the long wait for Fermi I was thoroughly disappointed. I can honestly say I'm more excited by this than I was about Fermi

    Can you imagine the timescale for armed response teams to come to your house when you recieve that delivery and one of the nosey neighbours see's the "p90" shaped casing and phones the local police.

    Are XFX going to replace any cards damaged by heavy-handed police, or ballistics damaged cards if they get shot at?

    the real questions are:

    When are Scan going to stock them

    and

    How much?

    They aren't going to be shipped in that box are they? Surely they'll be inside some form of cardboard box.

    It's 4.98*

    Very high... But after you install the drivers it will short out, explode and make your PC burst into flames.

    Love the idea but if could cause problems if mail is scanned through. I doubt it is but you never know what anti-terror things we have nowadays.

    I'd love to see more pictures of the case though!
