I notice the two little bridge connection similar to SLI. I'm not sure that it's what I think it is but it would be neat to Crossfire them cards that way.
I know, the hotrod flame effect is very appealing indeed.
1Gb of GDDR4! Too much? or this card may handle ultra high resolution. I can't wait to see actual game benchmarks like BF2, Quake4, FEAR, Oblivion and etc.
haha never too much i remember they said 256mb was 2 much a few years back ahah =d
yea i wanna see some damn benches.. im gonna play at a 24'' so i really hope it performs good at high resolution or else i have 2 wait for next generation
Actually those are Crossfire connectors, and not 'like SLi', dual SLi came out after the R1950P/X1650XT which had the 2 connecotr Xfire, which opened up the possability of multi-cards in a chain, nV didn't add TRUE multi card SLi support beyond 1+1 in their chips until the G80, which also added the multi-connector on the GTX models.
BTW, even sexier would be some shadermark results, not st00pid Bungholio score, now those would be sexy. 8)

Thats exactly what its for, internal Crossfire, no more external dongle. And from what i read somewhere there bridge connector offers double the bandwidth of the SLI bridge connector, between the 2 cards.

Most of the current ati cards support that crossfire method or software corssfire. only the X1900XTX and the X1950XTX has the stupid dongle thing.
Person 1: "DUDE! LOOK AT THAT CARD!!! IT'S SEXY!!!"
Person 2: "Yea, I know, it's the flames" 8)
Person 1: "Man, I'd like to get her right now"
Person 3: "Yea, that'd make my system look really sexy"
Near future... computers will learn how to please us beyond any woman's capabilities
Human porn will soon be replaced by computer porn ROFL!!!
Anyways... it does look kind of big... shouldn't be a problem though for my Antec P180 case
Thanks for clearing that up. The last ATI card I have was the X800GTO. The dongle crossfire connectors from the other models are annoying I think.
Now I want to see some mano a mano with AMD/ATI R600 vs Nvidia G80 top end graphics cards. Whoever wins and to consider the price as well will when my favor again and hopefully I could use ATI card once more.
computer porn ??? sounds nice 8O but in a distant future , about this card , all i can say is that i'm gonna buy it after its release ,if it can beat the 8900 , and that its way too hot , but why it says ATI and not amd ??

Actually the retail R600 is supposed to fall between an 8800GTS and a GTX in length, closer to the GTS of the two. Those pictures seem to confirm that based on the length ratios of the board and the PCIe slot.
damn she is sexy 
i remember they said 256mb was 2 much a few years back ahah =d
