[Ludomudo]

• how much is it going to cost?
• when is it coming out?
• 512bit or 256bit meM?
• who is getting one?

my feelings

• £500
• When GT300 makes an showing. ( that could be NOV or MAY next year )
• 512bit
• er probably not

The cost should be in the region of twice the price of a single 5870.

Why does your post have ↲ ↲ ↲ ↲ in it?

soz was typing from my N97..

Its coming out next month, GT300 is supposedly out in November according to Nvidia, but they could only be saying that to slow sales of the 5's, get people to wait for them, so we'll see when November comes.

Not sure on pricing, if 2x 5870's are £600 (could be lower by the time the x2 arrives), then i can't see the x2 being more than that, as there would be no point in buying a one, as you may as well just buy 2x singles for cheaper and have the same.

Although i have heard that the x2 is going to be clocked higher, so that may put it higher priced than 2x singles.

Where did you get that info from? That its coming out next month?
It just doesnt make sense bringing out the card that soon?
Why bring out the card when 5870 already beats 295gtx in majority of games?
I cant see then sense in that? Better milk the 5870 until the Gt300 comes out and bring out the 5870 X2 then? Surley that would make more sense?
