    http://www.techpowerup.com/113418/MS...assembled.html

    Pictures! Not much info, but it is disassembled.
    12 phase power. Wish my 5850 had that..

    It is a very nice card to hold in your hand and look over. I had a chance to examine a sample, it just feels fast. We'll see if it'll let us clock the cores to 1.5GHz+, I have high hopes given how excessive the power distribution is. 1.8vGPU ahoy!
    I want your HD 5970s and HD 5970 waterblocks.

    12 phases and extra wide card? Hmm Delicious!
    I guess the power wont be problem run these in CrossFire when they´re overclocked and you got a winner.

    Now if they would make similar HD5970 card with stock clocks around where they´re on HD5870, hmm maybe even with 3.. yes 3.. 6 or 8pin Power connectors for the power demand of that beast.

    That PCB is so full of components, I'd say Raw Graphic Power, yet HD5970 is more brute force then this...

    Good to see they didnt place any 'high' components above the core, i'm sure they test fitted a tek on to see if it would fit
    great card, cant wait to see it go retail ( and available ) , but im affraid it'll be a premium price for sure. but who cares!

    For this card? LN2 all the way!
    Otherwise using the ordinary 5870 makes more sense imo.

    MSI is quickly becoming a company I really like. If you had asked me that 3 years ago, I'd say I'd never buy an MSI product.

    I have bad experiences with Refrence Designs (you'd expect it to be the other way around). 2x Bad 4870's and 1x Bad 4890's all the same problem: crashing at stock clocks in WoW and FFXI.

    No warning either I'd get vertical yellow/black bars across the screen and a full lockup and full fan speed. Nothing fixed it across multiple drivers, OS's, Fans, stock cpu clocks/overclocked/pci-e freq always manually set to 100 etc.

    I also have a dead x1900xt. I'm getting very dubious about Refrence design quality as I'm sure you can imagine.


    Only thing that fixed the crashing was the non-refrence 4870 I got back from Sapphire RMA which has run like a top so far. My 4890 still didn't get back so I can't comment on the resolution for that card.

    After more than 5 brands of 9800gtx I tested, MSI was the cooler and the one that achieved the higher stable clocks.

    Hail MSI in this one too!
