The pictures leaked a bit over a week ago on the net are amazing looking for the PCB layout.

Although the immediate catch was the single crossfire connect on the board. No 4 card beast on the way.

2...gigs... of video RAM?! Crazy I tell you! And for $500? I would think all that memory interface would cost more than $500.

Yeah they've gone a bit looney. 2.4TFLOPS of single precision power and 600GFLOPS of double precision power. Quite a feat they've managed out this coming setup.

On top of that they're pulling out a claimed 15% gain on this card when compared to a standard 4870 Crossfire setup because of the advancements on the interconnect.

Ah times are getting good.

sucks that ati has unstable crappy drivers, if they had nvidia drivers then they would be god-like.

"sucks that ati has unstable crappy drivers"

Odd that you say this and yet NVIDIA had ages to get a working Vista driver out of beta and they failed to have one at launch. Odd that the highest level of driver related crashes in Vista for hardware are led by NVIDIA.

Maybe if NVIDIA didn't just disclose a product flaw issue where they're taking out $150-200m to cover themselves for their own chips having problems and having a driver base that ranked their thermal tolerances too high.

If you want to troll, then pick your points to fight. I'm not saying ATI/AMD is flawless but your defense tries to paint NVIDIA as some shining beacon of hope when clearly it's just as flawed as anyone else.

I know quite a few running ATI hardware, their biggest claim if any is that they don't see rapid performance increases by sacrificing visuals for speed like NVIDIA has done, heck they even did it as a shortcut in Crysis to improve their render speed by reducing the draw rate for the water.
