Er, you know what a 5970 is right?

Why would they make a card with 4 GPU's on it? 3DFx tried that one, and look how that went, it crippled the company.
 
lol i doubt it, 4 cores on 1 card no way

not sure why they removed the x2 tag, this should have been called a 5870x2

and then another higher clocked single card 5890 should have come later

... to keep with the tradition :p

No, the power requirements are holding them back from achieving a true 5870x2

The hardware inside the 5970 is basically 2 5870s you just need to voltmod them to unlock their true potential.
