Radeon HD 5870 Six with 6 display outputs, prices, performance

[Jowy Atreides]

I hope that is true

ATI said it - 2.5 times the computational power.
That's nearly 3 teraflops of brute power alone

If it has 2.5 the specs of a 4870 then it's about 25% more powerful than the 4870x2
Since the rumour said it has a 25-40% increase over the previous generation then it ties in perfectly with the 4870x2 comparison.

Put simply, this card should be as powerful as the GTX295 and then some ...with none of the scaling hangups.

Hopefully if everything ties in to what this post says ...then I think we've met the new 8800Ultra - a card that will play anything maxed for a few years.
