But why would you make something thats more than 50% more powerfull than the last thing you made!? Money is in baby steps not big steps. Sell the cards for the same money as they were 50% faster while being only 15-25% faster is an easy way to earn more money.
I'd say 1200SP is more likely... or 2400SP on 5870x2...
I just hope the price is right...
as the power goes i don't see why not have the same or less power consumption than 4800's. 4800's had almost the same power consumption as 3800's (a bit bigger, depending on the model)
I think 5800's are coming to soon to be revolutionary... i hope DX11 delivers better than DX10, and i hope we see some PhysX stuff from ATI!!!
