ATi 5970 Official Announced, New Dual GPU
Wow. I think with onomatopoeia that can describe the new ATI 5970, presented this morning, and that confirms what we discussed about three weeks ago: is most powerful on the market today.
Most striking is the use of two GPUs, as they did in past generations other previous models, providing a processing rate of 4.64 TFLOPS, something really high considering that the 5870 “only” managed to reach the 2.7 TFLOPS. Of course we have a very high end card that occupies two hollow (like all current 5000 Series) and with a power through the use of 40 nanometers, is quite moderate: between 51 and 294 watts, even with the minimum requirement of having a power of 650 watts with two 6-pin connectors and two 8.
Each of the ATi 5970 GPUs will be in the 725 MHz, with the use of GDDR5 memory at 1 GHz and with the possibility of providing audio outputs video of all types: VGA, DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort. As usual, the final outputs will be the decision maker’s card.
