Only 850W needed for some crossfire action. That would just be insane

yeah i was about to say this is a 5970 with 2 more gigs of ram which is kinda pointless and that price tag is retarded, unless you need a bigger epeen this is absolutly pointless, but if it was a 5970x2 WITH 4 GPUS then i would have thought baout that price and might have bought it, lol

I think the price is where it should be.
2GB 5870's are $550 here. This is two of those...=$1100. Sadly, this might be my only answer to my eyefinity troubles... |

I'd call a card with 4 5870 GPU's on it a 5970x2, not a single 5970 with double the vidja ram. You'll never see 4 GPU's of the current architecture on a single PCB, but 2 5970 PCB's sandwiched together like the GTX 295 could be possible. Quadfire in a single unit.
Also, what sort of application out right now uses more than say 1.5GB's of VRAM? |

Nope, and they still have the highest performance to cost ratio between them and NV anyways.

This looks like a 5970 with 4gb ram, can someone confirm or link to something that can confirm?

looks like an overpriced single card with 2 gpus, 2 gb per gpu, other than the price there is no evidence that this is two cards (with 4 gpus total)
