This is the card you are looking for
It isn’t going to give 6990 owners heartburn, but depending on where the final clocks are set, this little beastie is going give a lot of cards some serious price/performance headaches. 6870s are already an amazing deal, with a recent round of rebates dropping cards below the $180 mark, including a copy of Shogun.
The new card, as yet unnamed, has 1GB GDDR5 per card, you can see that much from the pictures. PowerColor isn’t talking about the rest of the specs, but more is promised at Computex. Looking at the power setup, it has 2 8-pin PCIe connectors, meaning a lot of juice on tap. That says ‘serious overclocker’, and since it is a custom PCB, it is likely to live up to that reputation. At worst, you can expect it to not blow up under normal use like certain other lines.
If PowerColor can keep the price at or below that of two 6870s, they look to have a killer part on their hands. The dual Barts chips should slap a 6970 around for only a bit more cash, and seriously undercut the dual GF114 coming in Q3. All we need now is a watercooled version with 8-way Crossfire drivers and…..S|A
