ATi HD 3870 X2 (R680); Official Specifications & Images

Ballpark price estimate at $400-$500.

Although the ballpark price is a bit on the high side it's a sign that they have a competitive card. Only time will tell if thats true or not.

Side note:
Hasn't the 6600 GV-3D1 (2 gpus on one PCB) and 7850 GX2 slower then SLI in most games? If so, I wonder if this new iteration will scale similar to those?

Thanks

Do we have any other 2560x1600 score to make a comparison with? I honestly don't know if that's good, bad or average.

ITOCP released several photos R680, R680 and their release of the results.

從相片看來, 這張R680不似早前放出的諜照, 可能ITOCP得到的是非公板R680. It seems from the pictures, this does not seem R680 earlier release of the spy photos, may be the non-public ITOCP plate R680.
看看照片, 大家可看到2粒繪圖核心在卡上, 需要2組額外電源供應. 中間的晶片可以是否類似在X1650時代用的PLX 晶片, 安排PCI-E 頻寬給2粒核心. Look at the photo, you can see the two graphics cards, the two groups need additional power supply. Intermediate whether similar chips can be used in times of PLX X1650 chip for PCI-E bandwidth to two core.

網頁報導, 這於速度是770/2250. 在現時的驅動, 只認作HD3870. 但是在CCC 控制台中, 大家可看到它的接口是以PCI-E 2.0 X8 運作! 以及共有1024MB 記憶體. Website reported that the rate is 770/2250. In the current drive, only recognized as HD3870, but in CCC console, we can see the interface is PCI-E 2.0 X8 operation! And a total of 1024 MB of memory.

它們顯示了3DMARK06 測試, 以2560X1600 解像度得到9573分 They show three DMARK06 tests to 2560 by 9573 resolution at X1600
(SM2.0: 4494分, SM3.0/HDR:4476分). 看來如果以1600X1200 或是1280X1024測試, 分數是很高的! (SM2.0: 4494 points, SM3.0/HDR: 4476). View to 1600 if the 1280 X1024 or X1200 test scores are high!

The GV-3D1 does very well for a single slot AGP dual-gpu, although there are better AGP cards *now*:

That's not what I remember.

Review here as well. In any case it's obvious they tried their hand with a single PCB design before.

From what I hear there should be a hard release of the R680 by the 28th. I hope that's true.
