Considering the current memory prices I'm hoping for about 8 GB (plus hopefully at least 1 GB of GDDR5 for the discrete graphics card part). The 7850 would be strong enough to push the "next big thing" the 4k resolution displays at decent framerate and prettier graphics than current consoles. Considering that at 4k resolution the AA would not be needed at all. Assuming they put in there a connectivity which has sufficient bandwidth and I would be surprised if they would not use HDMI 1.4a or DisplayPort 1.2. Hopefully both
, say 2x HDMI and 3x or 4x DP.
