ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 Spotted
The mighty dual GPU ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 monster was spotted today during the QuakeCon 2008 Tournament finals in Dallas. This post comes to bring to your attention that AMD/ATI has finalized the work on the card, and it will hopefully be released sometime next week after the NDA content is over. Enjoy the two pics until then.

the question is.... do i need those cards.... 17+K in Vantage wit my 4870 in X-Fire....
my ego said musthave :toast: ;)
I see a card where are my reviews, lol. : )
I hope this thing lives up the expectations I really want to see Nvidia and ATI fighting neck n' neck again!
(Here that AMD you need to work on that too!)
Man i am looking forward to this card
QUESTION Does any one know what kind of case is in the PIC
and where i can get one cause that Video card won't fit in my CURRENT
case plus it looks way cooler than my current one
but the bad thing is that is is NOT CHEAP try 629.99 USD
still considering getting it though a good case is not cheap
I took a look at Lian Li's site and found it.

I thought it was custom made, guess not.
Btw card reads as a single card in CC so thats why we can put 4 of these in the fx boards they also had a 9950 clocked at 3.3ghz over their with their new AOD and GX board.
This card will be the "ultimate" current top end card (at least until NVidia decide to release a GTX280x2) but at that price I think I will stick with the GTX280, the 4870x2 is undoubtably faster, in some benches 20%+ faster but in some hardly at all, and in a couple it actually loses, shame, I was naievely hoping it would be a bit cheaper :cry:
