Default [TweakPC] ATI Radeon HD 5950 - not a dual GPU card?

Quote:
ATI Radeon HD 5950 - not a dual GPU card?

As already known, will be based on AMD naming scheme of dual GPU cards now at NVIDIA. It is therefore not give Radeon HD 5870 X2, but this card will be called Radeon HD 5970. These are some data already known and we were able to compile is already a little preview with benchmarks for the Radeon HD 5970.

The main sticking point on the map is the clock speed significantly reduced in comparison to the Radeon HD 5870, which actually raises the question whether a Radeon HD 5950 here at all makes sense now anyway since hardly any of the cards from the HD 5000 series is available...

I hope not true.

Rumor-ish, so mods please delete if deemed not news appropriate.

If true, don't worry, Sapphire will put a dual 5850 together like they did last year for the 4850.

Considering the mind boggling length of the 5970, I wouldn't be surprised if the 69XX series has THREE GPU's on a single PCB. Actually... That would be kickass! From the sound of this article however, the 5950 might be on par with 2 5770's. Maybe slightly faster.

Didn't read the article, just the quote. Is it saying that the 5950 is going to be a single GPU card and the 5970 is going to be what we thought would be the 5870x2?

on par with 2 5770's, that's not really impressive at all...

What they are saying is that the "5870 Six" might actually be the 5950.

I don't think that will be the case though, considering this information is coming from a site that thinks two underclocked 5870s in CF will perform the same as a 5890.

Reading the badly translated short article would help those of you assuming what it's about from the small quote. Just saying.

Truth wise, I could see it going either way: the new eyefinity 6 or just some sort of 5890? config.
