that's great - 5 more days to see some benchmarks !

Depending on 590, the cost will range from 600-700$.^^ Hey sure. My bad.Sorry.
It makes sense. AMD can't afford to give too many freebies. I hope we can fall back on the pencil trick, if the worst comes to pass.
Back to antilles then. 6 Tflops! 4 GB DDR5! (2 Gb effective). 300/30 power consumption! Almost too good to be true. What price range do you think it will occupy? 500-600 or 600+?
My mind goes numb when i think of the crossfire possibilities..
Power consumption and temperatures are almost/exactly same. Read the reviews.^^ Yup price is too high and its a big loser imo on this aspect. One is better of with a 6950 2gb cfx. Gives almost the same performance, runs lot cooler, consumes lot lesser power and is much much cheaper.
I can spot a great diff between them
2x gfx cards with single gpu gives you power of 2 gpus but a physical multigpu card can give you a quad gpu setup with only two cards
^^ya TP people with cases like HAF etc can get a 6990 and crossfire it later. killer for upcoming 4-5years
BTW - HAF - High Air Flow
Today I again had the 100% GPU load at idle bug, happens when I use Internet explorers hardware accelerated demos and close it down, the problem is with the drivers as with ccc 10.10e the problem never happened, AMDs drivers are starting to bug me.
On a side note game performance is sweet, getting over 60 FPS in DiRT2 maxed out DX11/8xAA, but these small issues ruins the experience. Crossfire users run into this bug more often. ATI rectified this for the 69xx series with 11.2 drivers, no love for 5xxx users.
No, but it ramps up my system fan, and gpu-z shows 100% load at idle, its a bad bug, needs reboot to fix, it makes the gpu consume more power when its not needed. And ye 4870x2 and 4870 cf are same to the drivers and the system.Well actually I meant what would be the difference between a 4870x2 and 4870 Xfire subsystem..? The drivers understand them exactly the same. Not much scaling difference.
That gives you Quad Xfire. Which is bad. Games hardly scale that well.
AMD does not support legacy true. But the acceleration on IE sites, does it halt your system.
