Thinking the same thing. I hope this 5900 series does not blow up on me like the 5950 Ultra bomb I once had and paid $600 for! :ROTF:Quote:

yes they are renaming; started out with 3870X2, 4850X2, 4870X2, so HD5870X2 going to HD 5900 is changing the name-scheme... thus renaming the product lineup :pQuote:

The naming scheme isn't that altered either. ATI have used x900 in the naming ascension before
come on guys...it's simple.instead of naming 5870x2 it'll be 5970.that's it.no new tech no new bus.just a new name
less mierenneuken jowy!
What why hah? what's wrong with 5870X2? Unless...5890 is coming AND THEN 5890X2 will be the one to fend off Fermi.Quote:

Obviously AMD just want to better differentiate their newest product line up. They never used X900 since the x1900 series and I think it is a good call marketing wise to once again use it. Although the kind of people who buy high end dual gpu cards are at least somewhat informed ( face it a good portion go to high end pc boutiques which cater to wealthy , possibly ill informed buyers )
Nvidia did the whole GTX285/295 thing and I expect the 5870 and 5970 to be the same to the letter ( as in naming and hemlock being R870 at reduced clocks )
5970 is less confusing than 5870x2 if you ask me.
They had the 2900s.Quote:

as long as it runs Crysis at 1680x1050 ultra high at 23 fps average im happy XD [dont mind the sig its outdated i volt modded my gpu :P]
ill probably wait for the next gen when crysis 2 is out ;)
btw 25 fps is playable for me with no jams :D
We don't talk about the "2xxx" series around these parts.Quote:

:/ At what settings... there are plenty of games worth upgrading from a 8800gt, even if you want to stay nvidia.. 260 maxcores are going for just over 100$ and that will improve your perf substantially.Quote:

Btw, that picture is showing off the worlds biggest peice of paper, the 5870x2 is there to show the scale of the paper. The paper is 7.5miles wide, 11 miles tall. The miles ruler is shopped in.Quote:

Hunh? The ruler is perfectly placed, as you will need 12" for it to fit.Quote:

Nope, it starts about .6" before you start measuring a card, you don't measure the bracket...Quote:
