R680 powers Intel's X48

CES 2008: Intel's gone wild

Intel is happy to share with the world that it has a good relationship with ATI, and that it is happy to support ATI's current and future products.

Those two companies put together a rather interesting setup that included the 9770 3.2GHz CPU from Intel, an X48 Intel motherboard and an R680 graphic card.

R680 is already known as Radeon 3870 X2, and it should be available later this month or early next month.

This is what they look like together, and even in Skulltrail Intel was happy to tell the world that it supports two RV670 cards; and that with the right driver it can even do four cards.

They show three DMARK06 tests to 2560 by 9573 resolution at X1600
(SM2.0: 4494分, SM3.0/HDR:4476分). 看來如果以1600X1200 或是1280X1024測試, 分數是很高的! (SM2.0: 4494 points, SM3.0/HDR: 4476). View to 1600 if the 1280 X1024 or X1200 test scores are high!

That is one BIGASS card. (Cant wait to get one

)

Edit: dont like the orientation of the PCIE connectors (not great for CM - at least for top mouted PSU's). Also, are they two different cards (one in the SFF case has the PCIE connectors right beside each other)?

erocker · Jan 8, 2008, 07:56 PM

Dear God, Please send me one of these this year!

Amen. -erocker

Um...

That is an OEM HD2900XT, not HD3870 X2.

Yeah, comparing the lenght in a SFF case

reverze · Jan 8, 2008, 08:07 PM

Will it be possible to do something like HD3870 + HD 3870 X2?...

largon · Jan 8, 2008, 08:11 PM

AFAIK,
Crossfire X does work with 2 diff cards.

reverze · Jan 8, 2008, 08:13 PM

Nice...

whats the speculation on the price again?

Mid 400's?

kylew · Jan 8, 2008, 08:17 PM

Crossfire X does work with multiple cards, but, the 3870x2 only has one crossfire bridge slot on the side, which looks to be wider than the ones on the 3870s, so if there was a way, i'd say it would have to be over pci-x instead of the crossfire bridges

Could get lucky. It's essentially just (3) 3870's

Hawk1 · Jan 8, 2008, 08:26 PM

ShadowFold · Jan 8, 2008, 08:32 PM

Big and BADASS just how I like my cards

btarunr · Jan 8, 2008, 09:22 PM

I honestly loved this card's design much much much more than the black, hot sandwich (9800 GX2)

sladesurfer · Jan 8, 2008, 09:23 PM

now why do we need quad crossfire again?

to make them richer, cuz now adays ppl look at 3DMark scores and want to show off

which they should be working on making one card that can play newer games at high res with good fps

sladesurfer · Jan 9, 2008, 08:31 PM

I want one but im broke

trog100 · Jan 9, 2008, 08:49 PM

well at least we will be getting multi gpus that run at the same speed.. when they foisted multi cpus on us we had to have much slower ones..

i wished they had have kept making faster and better single core cpus but they didnt..

the analogy is very much the same.. except there is no loss with multi gpus there was with slower multi cpus..

but there will be a gain in some things.. no gain at all in others.. with the slower multi cpus there was a gain in next to nothing and a loss in most things..

course the world never noticed.. mainly cos we only had the one choice they stopped making fast single core cpus.. with gpus the multi gain or no gain will be obvious..

so far no way does it justify double the price.. lets hope it gets better..
