QUOTE(AMDAthlon @ Jul 13 2008, 10:37 PM) Hmm with heatpipes..I wonder how it would perform. the heatpipe compensates for the increased transistor density..  so.. the temp delta i presume will be similar to 3870's heatsink |

QUOTE From Tech Report's preview: We do know, however, that the two GPUs on the card don't share memory. The board has eight Hynix GDDR5 memory chips per graphics processor, four on the front and another four around back. Those chips are 1Gb each, so each GPU has a total of one gigabyte of memory to call its own. Cumulatively, 4870 X2's effective memory size is still 1GB, since data must be replicated into each GPU's memory space. http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/15105 Although each gpu doesn't share its memory, but cumulatively 1gb when each of them has 1gb memory? Supposedly 2gb.  |

It's counted as 1 GB because the data needs to be replicated on both cores. Hence, only 1GB amount of data can be used at an instance.

650 PSU True Power is recomended.Or At least 1-6Pin and 1-8Pin Connectors.
