Well, that's pre-order, so the price is terrible (it also includes a bunch of taxes). I really would like to know what the clocks are, what the total power consumption is, when it is coming out, and of course how it performs. Nice pictures though, good to see they are moving right along.
Imagine 2 in crossfire.....
Until Nvidia makes some moves they can basically name their price, but I would consider it probably would be the same percentage increase as the 4870x2 compared to the 4870.
So thats about $610 if the price scales the same. I wouldn't be surprised at a $599 price tag on it.
And if it turns out to be ~600, and it scales the same as a 4870x2 did performance wise, 2 of these would be a beast. You would be set for at least a few years.

I dont think there's any reason for Ati to come up with a 5870x2 right now at this moment. They should be concentrating on delivering the 5850, 5870,5770 and 5750 cards in pretty much sufficient quantity as these will be the cards that will take most of the market share. Atm 5870 itself takes the performance crown so until Nvidia come up with a card that yields pretty high (not just a mere 2 or 3%) there's no reason for them to come up with a 5870x2.

Did you read what everyone else said?
Of course 99/100 people will not buy it. There are still those few that want to have it as soon as possible and will pay a premium.
The price is going to be a lot more reasonable than that unless ATI is out to gouge people which judging by their other prices, appears they are not.

If it is any bigger than the top card that being a 7900 gtx duo most people will be out of luck and would have to buy a new case. In the end its cool to look at but the one I bought didn't work so lets hope the 5870x2 is comperable to a pair of 5870s in crossfire -5 or 10% performance. I might pick one up when I get a job to replace my 9800gt on my sli rig and throw my 9800gt in the lower slot while downgrading the driver for physx.

Dude it's called the 7900GX2, and it was essentially an OEM only card (for the like of Dell), but even that wasn't the biggest cards, there were SINGLE card dual-GF7 cards, they were significantly bigger like the ASUS.
Anywhoo, buying a case for something like that is likely not that big a deal for someone already willing to pay $500-600 for a card.
Still not as big as an Evans & Sutherland 4 GPU SIM card, and of course there's the all time best and biggest card;
