I fucking lol'ed. Always nice to see that attitude from the boss man.

Poor badly-named switch, gettin' no respect.

AMD's newly-found marking department just couldn't quit while they were ahead.

"It's not a workaround, it's a feature...and it's AUSUME!"

wow, amd going nuts, maybe they have enough trailing behind nvdia, and said fuck with power consumetion and let this sucker eat your electricity like no tomorrow. Lol

 

[jpierce55]

The idle power consumption is pretty low, and that does count for something. The price is what will matter!

Those things will matter in reviews, if they are true or not...

 

[pr0n Inspector]

It's March already, how many people still care about it?

 

[yogurt_21]

ok nice press slides now where's the actual reviews?

we know both nv and amd over-exaggerate on their press slides.

People who have the money. I'll probably just get 6950's, this gen looks nice, but I was hoping for a bit more performance from it. But since the 6950 unlocks so well, it really is a gem.

 

[jpierce55]

The power consumption is high, but it should have been expected in what is basically two cards together. The 375 watt is stock, and what should be looked at, not the 450.

Compare the 375 to the power use of a 570, 580, or 5970. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_570_Direct_Cu_II/21.html It is higher than I would have expected, but not unearthly so. I would hope it can beat the 580 in performance!

TOO FUNNY


Dual BIOS OC switch? Why not!! Thats a cool idea.

That way people could just mod the OC bios and always have the stock just a flip of a switch away..cool


What happens when the "noob" thinks its a good idea to flip that switch while the cards running? BOOM!!!

some shop here in Indonesia already opened pre-order for Powercolor HD6990 @ US$750.

Four VRM phases for each GPU using Volterra VT1195SFs. That is, Volterra's most powerful parts. The same VRMs as on R600/HD2900XT.

 

[Nailezs]

grammer error!

Two power two GPUs with over 2.64 billion transistors, you need a lot of power.

should be "To power two GPUs..."

 

[largon]

The inductors and PWM chips are hand-picked to offer the least leakage and highest efficiency

The slide says the ASICs (= GPUs) are screened for high speed and low leakage, not the VRM components.

hey its finally a card that draws more than the 4870X2

I'm a bit disappointed that nobody posted an image of a nuclear power plant yet.

HERE U GOOO

I figured out in Photoshop using one of the photos from HARDOCP that the thing is probably going to be in the neighborhood of 13.5" long... whip out the tape measure and measure your case!!

edit: here's the picture I used to measure the pixels and reach that conclusion

 

[jpierce55]

LOL, a little longer and they can add a cold air intake on the front of the card. (from where it is poking through the bottom of the case that is )

 

[TAViX]

Anyone notice that is have 4 DP ports? I think in theory you can get 8 monitors to run alone on those ports...

 

[Fourstaff]

Anyone notice that is have 4 DP ports? I think in theory you can get 8 monitors to run alone on those ports...

But practically no one uses display port....

 

[HalfAHertz]

It should be 12 not 8. Each DP 1.3 should support 3 monitors through a hub.

It should be 12 not 8. Each DP 1.3 should support 3 monitors through a hub.

Cause we all have 12 screens

 

[WarEagleAU]

Very cool indeed. I Am soon to move to either the dual 6950 board or a single 6950.
