[QUOTE=It.;17310045]$299 for 5870, brah.[/QUOTE]
Holy crap the prices are getting so low lately. Only few years back, the top - grade graphics were what? 1000$? 2000$? I don't really know...

But the giant monitor trend doesn't really hit me. I am okay with my 20' (16:10) screen, Maybe I will go for a 24' later. I don't somehow find it useful to get any bigger. I see everything I want on this one. Maybe it's just a personal taste.
[QUOTE=Robbazking;17354262]It need to be 3 monitors atleast :S[/QUOTE]
Yeah, who would want that black bezel right in the middle of your crosshair.
[QUOTE=Alone wolf;17353619]For some reason i just hate ATI/AMD. I just hope that nvidia will win this "who has best craphics card" thing.[/QUOTE]
You need competition or you'll be paying out the ass for hardware.
I need to upgrade my Power Supply for this card.
wow, If ATI are this good when my GTX260 becomes obsolete I'd gladly swap over.
The multi-monitor part is a huge bonus, multi-monitor performance with nvidia sucks at the moment.

No it doesn't?
Damnit where am I going to be able to buy one on the 22nd?
Looks like 10.5" to me.
[editline]09:45PM[/editline]
Are there power specs anywhere?
Awesome. Even though, I'm not buying this my 4870 is only a bit smaller if not the same size as this.

amirite?
Wish they made the cards wider, not longer.
:(

:([/QUOTE]
They would cover up more expansion slots.
I don't mean thicker. I just mean out from the Motherboard.
I have like 5 inches from my case wall with my 4870. I guess maybe they limit it to reduce stress on the PCB, but these cards are becoming too long to install.

Holy shit look at the size of it. I don't mind i think it's awesome. It will line up with the two 140mm in the 800d :)[/QUOTE]
it looks like a toy i played with when I was 3... kinda like a car from toys r us or something.

I guess? I'm staying up until 12am and spamming refresh. The video card is the last component I need to purchase for my new computer.
These things better have one hell of a cooler. The 5870X2 supposedly has a 350W+ TDP.
And that orange and black colour scheme looks sexy.
I hope they got some smexy PCB's on launch, doubt it, but still. This looks like it's their best release so far, as far as benefit over previous generation.
offtopic: Gotta love facepunch!
Well see that when i build new comp with i7, that will i use ATI if they are really better than Nvidia...
That looks neat tought...

Well it'll still fit in my Stacker 830. Glad I got that case.
it'll still fit in my armorsuit

My HAF 932 will eat it alive. :smug:

The weight of his stacker will crush your HAF :v:
Only if i had a spare 3k
i7 + x85 + 5890x2
[i]Holy shit,[/i] it beats the GTX285 and the HD4870X2. Goddamn.
So does the first photo just have bad color or is there an orange version? O_o

It would make more sense if it was red. It actually looks like the colour in the top picture is a bit off. Some of the Wires from the PSU are the same orange, I think they should be red.
They are fucking with us!
Bloody gorgeous looking card either way.
Wow, I didn't realize just how huge that thing is. Looks like I can just barely fit one on my motherboard without covering any SATA ports.
Looks alot better than the earlier screenshots.
