| 831952 | 2009-11-20 11:33:00 | ATI have just released their latest monster. The most powerful gaming card on the market AFAIK. Say hello to the Sapphire HD5970 (www.computerlounge.co.nz) I can't see myself buying one anytime soon. If you're planning driving multiple monitors this may be for you. At 12" long, many people may find that it won't fit in their cases. (I hate to think what the Asus/Gigabyte versions are going to cost) |

| 831954 | 2009-11-20 11:43:00 | They don't have to. If you look at the amount of SLI/CF rigs out there, there seems to be the willingness and $$$ around to support it. Wait until someone has three of these NO2/Liquid Helium cooled. It's a mad arms race. I think most people would find they'd struggle to push a 4870 1GB, let alone one of these. And we still haven't seen Nvidia's next offerings... |

| 831955 | 2009-11-20 11:58:00 | The cards were sold out within hours. Check out Fudzilla. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 831956 | 2009-11-20 18:39:00 | CrossFire Supported Yes Wow. Gonna be one heck of a GPU when linked up! |

| 831957 | 2009-11-20 19:18:00 | It's already one heck of a GPU :D Can't wait for the day when I have a wall of screens running games off something like this ;) Heck, hooking it up to my 46" TV and gaming in 1920x1080 would be nice! |

| 831958 | 2009-11-20 20:03:00 | ATI have just released their latest monster. The most powerful gaming card on the market AFAIK. Take a look at benchmarks versus the 5870. Nah, I wouldn't bother. |

| 831960 | 2009-11-24 07:32:00 | Wonder if i can talk the boss in to some upgrades, one adapter plus 3x 24 inch monitors per person??? I just ordered a Sapphire 4850 512mb and that was enough to make me shudder. |

| 831961 | 2009-11-24 08:19:00 | wow great price I will have to re-think things. I was about to order a Nvidia Tesla S2070 video workstation card for around $26,216 ($US 18995). www.xbitlabs.com eneration_Tesla_Fermi_Cards_in_Q2_2010.html At only $1400 the 5970 is a steal!! |
