The holes are actually there just for aesthetics. PCIe plugs are pointing to the same direction as the CF fingers.Quote:

With a A 320mm2+ die simply scaling up RV770 would get more than 25-40% performance increase. They have enough room to basically double RV770 (minus mem controller), so 60% should be minimum if that's all they did. Then again, "trillian" might be lower clocked than a normal 5870. Nordic might have gotten that part wrong too, might be Juniper and not Cypress. Or they've got the number wrong, or by current gen they mean something beefier than RV770. In any case, 25-40% for RV870 over RV770 would be very dissapointing, but I'd be willing to bet most anything that the performance difference will be much greater than that.
Maybe it is not just performance but also the features that these new cards will have. Will soon see what these things are made of and what features they have to sell.
That's called Teasing :DQuote:
We made the decision to pull the story, sorry for any inconvenience. There will be more on the many flavors of Radeon in the future.
Story pulled.

what was the original content?Quote:

Since Nordic has been presenting quite a lot of credible ATI info in the past (IMO), the two former seem most likely.Quote:

why not can the second DVI port since you have that new display port thingie
looks big
wonder if the mount holes are still the same as 4870 and 4890 :)
im really disappointed i hate display port and will not be buying anything with it
I just want pricing already so I can actually decide what card to buy.........
Anyone know if this card will play on a 1.1 PCI-x ? I'm only looking to purchase one. Is 1.1 x16 lane enough?
nah vapour-x uses same sorta thing it works same, =) aslong as it's guided out there well it'll work fineQuote:

Yah i wonder same. why not put dvi-dvi-hdmi on bottom and the smaller displayport + extra vent holes on top slot? probably could have fit 3-4 more vents on the dvi side and 1-2 vent on the other.Quote:

Maybe it's 20% faster than a GTX295 and 40% faster than a 4870X2?
:rolleyes:
