So the Radeon HD 5870 card seems to be just as lengthy as the 4870 X2 and comes with HDMI, Displayport and two DVI outputs. Some Chinese websites leaked completely specifications and photo's. The reports claim that this product has might have 1600 shader cores and is DirectX 11 compatible. The memory runs over a 256-bit wide memory bus. Since this is DDR5 in theory this could account for up-to say 150 GBps of memory bandwidth.
