These kind of cards should have been planned for a long time ago.
Actually I had expected a 5870 2GB a loooong time ago (4870 512MB -> 1GB anyone? http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3415) with a refresh like the 4890 for when Fermi would come out to finish the line up and make ATi really shine for the first time ever since the release of the 8800GTX.
Sadly they did not go that route (now if you are wondering why I mention sadly: I am kinda stuck at the red side, thanks to Eyefinity).
