It hurts my eyes just looking at it. I thought DX10 only had support up to 512 SPU's per GPU. This seems to have 800 stream processors per GPU.

New GDDR5. 2 GB video memory.

Vantage is now a joke.

I have seen some good benchies of that card. I really want one of them...

I thought is was 800 per card not per gpu...

what you need to srem is that htem 800 streams are doing more than what they were intended for, the ATI uses them to do AA and other tasks, this is why the new ati cards are peforming so well now.

kicks the snot out of my 3870x2's! ;( I have 320 per core and 1280 total. Its a shame that most of the games being released are still dx9 with a few dx10 extras.

When i was on xp with one or both cards (didnt matter) there was a 60fps cap i just couldnt pass. Now im hitting close to 300 in vista 64 for combat arms. I imagine one 4870x2 would surpass that.

"Limit 10 per customer."

No problem, believe me...

I'm just glad the model number doesn't start with a 5. I'm not ready to be four generations behind (even if one of 'em sucked).

It's outrageous! How dare they put more power into a video card! Terrible! It's like they WANT to be better than nividia or something!

Insane!!
