do we really need separate thread for this?

anyway, it is R700, not RV770

ya only for HD4870 X2 discussion only coz they also have a seperate discussion tread for HD3870 X2 last time i'm just following , hope nothing happen

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.

easierlah, AMD ATi always came with good card with good price

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

Ezo...this 4870x2 going to burn ur wallet soon ....haha But no matter how good ATI go , some Nvidia DIE Hard fans still will support GTX 280

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.

10 ~ 15% hmm... not much not much... about $60USD more than 4850..
hmm... worth or not lerh?

Some people like those who live in a college don't care about electric bill, use it to the max

nvidia fanboy spotted.... probably?

me like the benchy score. juicy stuff this ......

waiting for the performance per watt, temperature, and of course some pics. hate those 8 pin power pin.

i didnt know there is an 'ultra enthusiast' segment.

R700 spotted at AMD Spain Conference...black PCB
