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

[largon]

Solus Corvus,
The thing is, VRMs are between fan and the mounting bracket (Well, slightly under the edge of the fan) and not between fan and the proverbial holes.

This is really annoying
Am I the only person slightly flummoxed by the general lack of Preview Benchmarks of the new 5800 series GPU?

Obviously not. There are countless people that for some reason bother moaning about it, in this thread alone.

I thought the 10th of September was the day ATi were going to titillate us with a few benchmarks and pics of the new cards and specifications.. oh and release prices too.
What a load of tosh!

I dunno why you thought that.
For me it was obvious they're not going to run performance benchmarks. 10th was a known from the beginning not to be the launch event, but just a feature show / marketing act.
