Dual-GPU AMD Hemlock card pictured
The Tech Report: News —
Dual-GPU AMD Hemlock card pictured by Cyril Kowaliski 2:35 PM on October 30, 2009 Poor 40-nm yields or not, Hemlock is coming. AMD officially intends to release the dual-GPU, DirectX 11 monster card this quarter, and now, the folks at AlienBabelTech have posted some images of Hemlock in the flesh . The graphics card depicted looks prodigiously long, likely because it houses two Cypress GPUs on a single circuit board. AlienBabelTech quotes an overall length of 13.5", enough to cause clearance problems in a full-sized Antec 1200 enclosure. If accurate, that measurement means the "Radeon HD 5970" is a whopping three inches ...
Leaked Photos of the Radeon HD 5970 Dual-GPU Card Emerge
Maximum PC —
Last month we posted a link to some early spy shots of the Radeon HD 5850 X2 & 5870 X2, but aside from the pictures, the post was a bit short on details.

The card's power source is both 8 and 6-pin PCI-E connectors. A run of benchmarks were also completed, however AMD quickly got hold of the guys who posted them and had them pulled, also noting that both the drivers and BIOS are not finalized which will give noticably different performance results to what the final revision is capable of.

ATI HD 5900 spotted in the wild
Hardware —
Rumors that the new HD 5900 series could be just another chip refresh have been knocked on the head according to Alien Babel . The site had been asking around and found out that ATI has decided to drop the “X2” nomenclature and its upcoming dual GPU-on-a-PCB cards. The card that was supposed to be HD 5870X2 will now likely be called the HD 5970 and the HD 5850X2 will probably be called the HD 5950. These cards will be much like their older brothers, the HD 4870-X2 and the HD 3870-X2, featuring two GPUs on a single PCB and employing onboard crossfire support. The site's ...
