Fact 3 - When playing games with Antilles, all graphics settings from all know games shall have only one mode: "You win" mode. It will be the only card to make all games playable on that setting.
That really makes me wonder, how are they going to make such a massive card. Cayman chips are supposedly bigger than cypress and significantly more power hungry. Unless they completely castrate the cayman chips(considering they underclocked the 5970 so much), they are going to need a monster cooler and very likely long card. If the 5970 was 13 inches, when how long is antilles going to be? I actually wouldn't mind a 14-16 inch card. It might just barely fit in my corsair 800d, but if I am going to pay 700+ dollars for it, I want my card to feel substantial. Also they better put two 8 pin connectors this time, they are going to have to underclock it anyways and a 6 and a 8 pin don't feel like enough this time around.
