i think r700 is gtx280 killer.
price maybe below rm1.9k and maybe better than 2x4870.
but have to wait till august for available in market.

Some info i remember for R700
1) It use GDDR5 memory for dyal RV700 "to talk to each other "
2) No longer use PLX chip as bridge
3) Stuttering issue is no more by using GDDR5
anyone remember the bandwidth for PLX chip vs GDDR5 chip..please post the numbers

Rv770 is core name for HD4800 series,
RV770PRO is codename/core name for HD4850,
RV770XT is codename/core name for HD4870,
R700 is codename(not sure about core name) for HD4870x2

Anyway, to discuss of future product might be a little odd. Anyway, we can expect from current performing 4850 CF to measure 4870X2. Bear in mind that 4870 is about 1.3 times the 4850.

Very nice, I like how clean it is.(the structure)
R700 use 6pin+8pin connector, just like 3870x2 does
PLX chip seems smaller than 3870x2 PLX chip (die shrunk? or just middle man for communication between GDDR5 and Rv770 core? who knows..)
R700
Black Edition anyone?

Black Edition anyone?
the problem is.. does this 4870x2 inherits the temp issues from the 3870?
idle at 68-70C at typical malaysian temp??? anyone?

Lol, a normal 4870 is already madness in performance and temperatures. How the heck are they doing 4870 x2? That deserves 2 months

the power delivery system is quite impressive on 4870x1. the 2nd generation plx chip should be generation, hopefully this would remove the pci-e bottleneck effect on 3870x2,
btw what cooler would amd provide this time.

Highest end card is always more popular for those extremist who is less price sensitive but extremely demand for performance of their GC.

2900XT is quite expensive but when compare to 8800GTS it is still cheaper though, but now AMD/ATI is aiming at mid range market, rest assure there would be a lot of affordable and powerful graphic card available to more end user........
Radeon i think slayer meant 4850CF, both have different memory architecture, in this case 4870X2 have some serious advantage here when compare to 4850 even in crossfire mode.

AMD claims that this card will overwhelm the GeForce GTX 280. AMD will be in a position to supply samples for internal testing and quality evaluation by 15th of July and July 24th is slated for completion of testing following which, the product could start shipping. Partners will receive chip samples for non-reference designs. Volume shipments of the chips could commence sometime in August.
