AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[STEvil]

5970 uses vapour chamber, just to say. ATI/AMD uses vapour chamber on only their very hot cards. Hell, 4870X2 wasn't vapour chamber. 5970 required it.

Not sure about the 2900XT though. They are not marketing gimmicks. If they are, AMD wouldn't have used it themselves on stock design. Nor nvidia.

I like vapor chamber. To say every reference ATi product since the 2900XT used it, is blatantly incorrect.

While I agree with your first point, that leads me to ask you...Are you sure about (the whole of) your second?

There's a reason he didn't post that pic, nor use it as an example.

Thats a Sapphire card (and not even their regular model), not an ATi reference. I do also own a Sapphire 4870X2 by the way, no vapor chamber on it at all.
