Dual-gpu ATI 5970 spotted in the wild

November 1st, 2009 Posted in Business, Gear, Hardware, PC, Technology


ATI’s upcoming dual-gpu based card, the Radeon HD 5970, comprising of two 5870 chips — which themselves are the most powerful graphics chips today — has been spotted in the wild over at PC Perspective. The card, measuring at 13.5″ inches, needs both a 6 pin power connector and an 8 pin connector as well, meaning it’s gonna draw a lot of power when fully throttled. The card is expected to be in stores this December.

    Now, that is the card for me. I’ve been holding out from upgrading since I have 2 3870 X2’s in CrossFire. It’s performing amazingly, so, I’m only going to upgrade when the next round of DX11 cards hit
