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.

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.

i guess it's still limited to 512mb, but there is a 2gb version rite, so it a good hint there for workstation graphic card to be based on this card too...

i dun think RM250 goin to make a good dual slot cooler for RV700 looking at how hot is 4870 now..........

3870x2 heat sink is actaully quite simple design, only solid block with fins, hope they took Asus 9600GT matrix design to their 4870 X2 with all those heat pipe and may be saphire own vapour chamber thing to bring the temp down

hybrid cross fire only work on lower range of GPU if not mistaken for current generation of 4xxx series, so u will need 4670 or so to get it work
