We are about to usher in the first DX11 graphics cards, from AMD-ATI's RV870, let us look forward to it. Power supply for dual 6pin, length slightly longer than the HD2900XT.

The first DX11 graphic card --- AMD-ATI RV870 is about to come,let's waiting with anticipation. enjoy it! 2 6pin power connectors,and PCB is a little bit longer than 2900XT.

take it with a grain of salt ;)

It could be early engineering sample but the picture looks more like a lousy Photoshop job.

Chiphell for the past 2 years had the first pictures of every "higher end" ATI card. I wouldnt be suprised if its real.

at most it's an engineering sample. I doubt the final board will be that big.

If that's the X2 version sure. Redwood however, should be the same size as 4870, similar heatsink. Remember you're increasing die size by ~ 50mm^2, density should be increased by ~60-80%, but voltage decreases quite a bit too. Unless leakage is a major problem, which is possible assuming past history of the last 2 die shrinks @ TSMC, current heatsink should be able to cope.

Whats the point of leaking a pic of a card if it looks exactly like the last 3 cards?

Because it indicates that its close to release.

Didn't we have card shots 3-4 months ahead of time last round?
