Man I hope that's true! I (with a NV mobo) am awaiting the 5970 to replace my GTX280s.... so 2x2GB will make a big difference at 3x1920x1200!

Woot, "That means each GPU will get a massive 2TB of memory." Holy Geeze, If only that were true.

Well it's suppose to be launching Nov 18 and yes it's called "Hemlock" But it's still uncertain when it's going to be available on the market :/

So getting this card!

I just hope it can actually fit into standard computer casings. It would be nice if the price was substantially cheaper than two 5870's.

If you are using legacy (LOL) inputs to your monitor the mini-DP will require an adaptor. However as Apple do mini-DP to DVI they will be easier to get hold of outside the states, they are even available in NZ!
