ATi HD 3870 X2 (R680); Official Specifications & Images
-
thats not going to fit in a regular ATX case :shakes:
-
yay 7900GX2 reborn! and red this time!
edit:
after careful scrutiny, I'd say its more suitable to whack people than to be used as a graphics card

You could almost mistake it for a motherboard. :rofl:
-
Benchies?
Power Consupmtion?
Price?
-
-
will this work in a p35 with only one PCI-E slot like my Abit IP35-e?

Why wouldnt it? it only needs 1 PCIe slot...(its cooler takes up the other which doesnt need pplugged in on a mobo...
-
so it doesn't need a crossfire mobo to run 1 of these cards? I was under the impression it was using crossfire somehow to have 2x R680 gpus on a board.
-
still wont run crysis @ max :rolleyes:

We have no more official information from AMD.
But the price and power consumption will be lower than two HD 3870's.
Benchies;I really don't know how this card will perform.

No Crossfire mobo needed.This card has already a controller (PLX chip) on it.The Gpus communicate over this ''bridge'' chip

dam...those eyes....i'm sold!

Great, thanks for posting, ..::ABSOLUT::.. ! :up: I'm waiting for this baby and will buy a couple. Already bought a 3870 to have something to play with in the meantime. :up:

"Use up to 4 GPUs with an AMD 790 FX based motherboard." What is that supposed to mean. I mean, wasn't it already stated that they will run in Crossfire on a x38 based motherboard (Maximus Formula)?

I guess it's just that they wouldn't go to the extent of promoting the competitor's product.

I also see CF connectors on this card. I wonder if you could run 4 for 8 GPUs. :p:
-
AMD is making some serious buzz in the gpu market....unlike their cpu's ..

Well yeah , it will support CF in multi card platform bcuz that is why you'll need a 790 chipset. I doubt 4 is a possibility but AMD making 3 cores per PCB is not that impossible at all. But a 32nm process will be required if they ever think about implimenting it.
-
So will this card work in crossfire on a x38 board ??
-
666 million transistors. Now isn't that a sweet number? :D
-
It's obvios why they made it so looong. If they would have made it shorter they would have had to crop that ruby eyes picture. blasphemy! we want ruby sexy eyes in full glory!
thus you see why this card is so long :D
