RV790 Makes Radeon HD 4900 Series, Led by HD 4995 X2?

Those images look like the 2900XT with the OEM cooler. So for all intents and purposes, they are sort of real. But not for any recent cards though.

Yeah it's a real pity that the chip-designer's efforts are largely foiled by their driver coders, they can't make a decent driver for 64bit systems at all, and now that half the users that buy graphics cards have 4+GB of RAM you just look ridiculous, not that their 32bit driver versions aren't embarrassing too, but their 64bit drivers are rock-bottom.
And adding a new GPU to the line-up of GPU's they have to code for will only 'improve' things I'm sure.
And the weird thing is that you'd expect the people who work in IT, like driver coders would in fact run a 64bit OS themselves, and they'd notice the grievous mess the drivers are on 64bit, it's quite perplexing, but sadly as we know not uncommon in the industry of course that they release stuff not even tested on their own systems.

Another question is, are these the chips that will support DX11 or would we have to wait until the RV800 series for that?

If we knew what it looked like, wouldn't it be all over the news?

I think I pee'd a little lol!!!
