Will the double amount of RAM make it GSOD twice as often too?
2gb 5870 FTW.... at last...
:)
we need oldschool add-in memory modules! i want to add another GB to my 5850 this new card :(
What I find particularly interesting and had a good laugh over is the screws in this pic. Reminded me of something.....forget what though. Hmmm

^think theres a real heatsink under there?
It is hard to say if this is real or not. I mean the screws point to a hasty design to quickly launch this card. The vent goes beyond the card so it could let dust into your case if it is filtered. I don't know. Would have to say I would need to see this working with bench numbers to believe it is even real because seriously now....Who uses wood screws to put a card together?!?Quote:

You can clearly see the fins of the heatsink behind the exhaust vent..Quote:

It does look lovely and no doubt will perform lovely too. This card is practically made for Stalker Clearsky and the sequel when it is released.
Great work ASUS, just a shame this was not out and about 3 months ago.

Yep... my single 5870 gets memory starved for sure when I kick AA on and demanding DX10 features in some games..Quote:

Moved it for airflow.
How much of the orignal reference design has changed. Whenever Asus comes out with one of this wizz bang cards they change the ref design so much none of the FC waterblocks fit.
there any release date on these
still waiting on the 5XXX card with 6x DP :mad:
good point... 2 mini dvi and one hdmi or dp would have been much better... or 1 dvi and 2 mini dvi... since there are adapters from dvi to dp and hdmi, right?Quote:

Why not just dump DVI altogether and just use the smaller ports so you can fit more of them? Like all DP or half and half with DP/HDMI, or DP/miniDVI?
Why are they still including these massive, legacy-looking ports? I mean they can all be converted to DVI if people still use monitors with those connectors anyway, can't they?
i think the biggest issue is that converters for DP to other things go for like 20$. cant throw in 80$ worth of adapters when you can just put one of each type on the chip, and tell consumers to deal with it.
yeh, we need siplay makers to drop dvi first, theeeen vgas will drop them as well...
