UPDATE:
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...confirmed.html

HWC forum user Cowboy provides SKYmtl @ HWC some "hot top-secret 5850/5870" pics taken from a Canadian subway station where he met an unnamed Ati insider!!!! The 5870x2 has the early protoype cooler, and there is a 5850x2 also. There is space for 2x 8-pin on the pcb. Another shot shows the first 5870 cooler without the red stripe! It also confirms Eyefinity works via 2x dvi-d & 1 x mini-dp, and there is a full slot exhaust. He should have bought the 5870x2 as it would be an extremely rare one NICE ONE CANUCKS!
















Remember these early prototypes?





well....

They'll probably keep it in the "buffer" for the day Nvidia releases the GTX 380.

Gimme!

[trans am]

look at the size of that F ker!

[Kallenator]

Holy !

How much longer than the 4870X2 is it, 50mm?

I foresee problems with to "short" computer cases!

i think this beast would only fit into my case if there were no hdds/ssds at all

but tbh, it doesn't look that much longer than a 5870...

Cut out the hdd cage for my V5 6000 once , can do it again lol

[HuffPCair]

Wow thats a big card. Dont you think they should change the cooling? I would think that one fan is going to have a lot of work ahead of it.

[topaimz]

Damn it, I wish ATi or Nvidia would make some power efficient and "smaller" graphic cards.

BTW,
Is it me or does the only hardware that keeps getting Larger is in the category of Graphic cards.

in for 2

but can it play crysis?

Starting on this gen, this joke has lost its reason to be :P

Crysis is totally playable at 1920x1080 with a single HD5870, so the for X2 it will be child's play.
Maybe even at 2560x1600, who knows.

Also, holy crap! that's what i call a brick card!

Depends on your definition of play. If 30-35fps at 1920x1200xVH with no AA works for you, even 1 HD5870 can "play Crysis." If you are talking about 60+ fps, a pair of 5870X2s should handle it even with terrible CF scaling; I think Triple SLI GTX 285s are in the mid/low 50 fps range.

[Jamesrt2004]

that pic makes the x2 look larger then it is, its less then 1cm longer then 5870

[RaZz!]

that pic makes the x2 look larger then it is, its less then 1cm longer then 5870

if that's the case i really wonder why they didn't make the 5870 shorter

[Manicdan]

if that's the case i really wonder why they didn't make the 5870 shorter

i hope its cause they packed in a big cooler under that shroud

[Heinz68]

Any source about the above.

The HD 5870 is 10.5" long, the same length as HD 4870 X2 and single GPU nVidia GTX 8800.

I had Mid Tower Antec P160W and the cards did fit in with at least 1cm to spare.

Anyway now I have the CosmosS case so the size is not going to be any problem, even if much longer.

[ghost_recon88]

Are they gonna release a 2GB and 4GB version?

[dng]

i want a 4GB version mmm. i don't want to know the heat dissipation on this thing. my 4870x2 is a space heater right now. i wonder if the artic cooler xtreme 4870x2 will fit this thing.
