It just may get better

what if the crown jewel of ATI has yet to come?

if 5970 or 5950 is true, we are going to see a more competitive generation than anything before !!!!!!

no, maybe its something to exterminate jenson once and for all!!! yes im ATI fanboi

Not only would it mean bad news for Nvidia, but in the very rare event that Nvidia comes out with a card that is better than 5870 AND costs the same, this will be their saving grace and once again put them ahead of the Green...

In my opinion it'll be a card(s) similar to the 5870/5850 but it'll have a wider memory bus than the 5870/5850's 256, maybe it'll be 384 or perhaps even more...

Who knows, but this is very interesting and it seems that Nvidia is running a little late.

add another 500 transistors would make competition nice.

Wouldn't a 5970 or a 5950 be in the same performance area as a 5870x2? So wouldn't the making of a 5970 or a 5950 make the 5870x2 useless (I mean, if they perform the same and one is a single card, who would people choose? I would go for the single one, tbh).

So, it makes more sense that the 5970 and the 5950 are just the x2 versions. I don't think ATi would want to have two different cards from the same generation and for the same performance.

Or they're just toying with us. I'd do that too if I were a driver writer, just throw in a fake card now and then to see what ruckus I could cause.

But in reality, the fact that the X2 card is not listed although we know it has been made and is running gives a pretty strong hint as to what these are, though I sure hope that is not the case.

Not that that's going to save nV from ATI's clutches

5950? 5970!?!

If this is the 5850x2 and 5870x2, I wouldn't be mad or anything. But that's kind of stupid...I'd rather see a single card on these...

Then again, this is from FUD...dunno what to believe..

So does that mean that is what they are really going to call them, or is that just internal/driver names?
