Behold AMD's, and soon aimed to be the industry's most powerful graphics accelerator: Radeon HD 5870 X2 "Hemlock". Armed with two "Cypress" Radeon HD 5870 graphics processors, this dual-GPU monstrosity packs twice the shader compute power. From the looks of it, the card is slightly longer than its single-GPU sibling from the series, and is better ventilated, although the cooler design more or less resembles it. It draws its power from one 6+2 pin and one 6 pin PCI-E power connectors, just like two of its ancestors in the R700 and R680. Listed for pre-order on a European online store, a Radeon HD 5870 X2 is priced at 677 EUR

Rip off pre-order price. I have aleady seen the ATI list price as being $599 which equates to £460 inc VAT or 506 euros.
 
That thing is bloody huge, Virus will be along shortly to tell us about his RMA on his 5870's :D

Edit: £460 isnt that bad considern 2x 5870's would cost you £600 atm lol :P
 
I could fit it in my case :)
i have about 10 inches left before hitting the hdd bay

already have 2x 5870s anyway so no need for it lol :D + single cards are always better than multigpus not to mention the cooling is better also.

but for those that are just looking for 1 card dam that is a huge moma lol
