AMD Radeon HD 5870 X2 Pictured

btarunr · Sep 25, 2009

Behold AMD's, and soon aimed to be the industry's most powerful graphics accelerator: Radeon HD 5870 X2 "Hemlock". Armed with two "Cypress" Radeon HD 5870 graphics processors, this dual-GPU monstrosity packs twice the shader compute power. From the looks of it, the card is slightly longer than its single-GPU sibling from the series, and is better ventilated, although the cooler design more or less resembles it. It draws its power from one 6+2 pin and one 6 pin PCI-E power connectors, just like two of its ancestors in the R700 and R680. Listed for pre-order on a European online store, a Radeon HD 5870 X2 by Club3D is priced at 677 EUR (incl. applicable taxes, 568.9 EUR excluding).

the longest consumer level GPU ever?

-1nf1n1ty- · Sep 25, 2009

that is a long graphics card.......

[I.R.A]_FBi · Sep 25, 2009

over 9000 mm?

qubit · Sep 25, 2009

Incredible - these aren't due for release until a couple of months. Looks like AMD might release them early to give nvidia a good kicking.

tkpenalty · Sep 25, 2009

I reckon these cards will need a new suspension system designed for them...

Yup, and over 9000 points of fail in the asian market. :respect:

Yup....
I want the power but I don't want to kick my HDDs out of the window for a 11+ inch card. :cry:

I can remove the HDD cage in my Zaria, but now where do I put my HDDs :shadedshu

btarunr · Sep 25, 2009

I wouldn't have minded if they made this a dual-PCB card with PCBs as long as that of HD 5850 (HD 4870). That really wouldn't have cost them much.

Stack them up in the empty 5.25" cage?

tkpenalty · Sep 25, 2009

wonder when these cars will be fast enough that they become a security risk; i.e for brute forcing seeing how its got error checking etc... and way more power compared to a CPU.

HammerON · Sep 25, 2009

I will take 2 please

Well... I need to secure them somehow.

Hmm.... Would need to buy a new case for that :eek:

Kitkat · Sep 25, 2009

yeah consumer they have some render cards that long too and lots of cases take them but that HDD cage might have to come out like those instruct too. but its just like 3000s 4s were shorter so hopefuly midway they will refresh them.

tzitzibp · Sep 25, 2009

the size of this pcb will make even my case look small! :rolleyes:

Now, put a waterblock on that and send me one! Please! :laugh:

don't tell everyone.... :slap:

lol, I wish the wced versions of these babies come out soon!

Assassin48 · Sep 25, 2009

677 euro = $1000 USD

I wonder how low they will get after nvidia releases the gt300 series

Animalpak · Sep 25, 2009

Ohh my .... :eek:

that thing is huuuuge... The price too... :shadedshu Ok it's normal price for such a high power but who buy it ?

but if they think of selling prices like the 8800 Ultra when it came out many years ago, a real absurdity pay 1000 dollars for a graphics card.

Should have the current price of a GTX 295.

Origin64 · Sep 25, 2009

This thing will CRUSH the Asus MARS, and that costs 1000 dollars too.
In price/performance it's not that expensive. It's so expensive because of it's awsomeness!

Though I will not buy any high-end ATi GPU with stock cooling sine my Asus EAH4850...
The MEMIO temps got up to 110 degrees in almost any game and then it crashed...

When the HD6xxx series launch, I'll get one with WC, till then my system will hold out. :cool:

S: It's my birthday today, I turned 16 and am now allowed to drink beer! :toast:

laszlo · Sep 25, 2009

i won't buy because i'm not sure if Mario will run with it... :laugh:

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Sep 25, 2009

sweet.

VC length = e-peen length

Not even sure if that small fan on the end will reach ample pressure on the GPU on the far end.. plus all that vents further reducing air pressure.. hsf design fail
