Guru3D.com Image Well, I guess we are closing in on the launch of DX11 class cards from ATI. And rumors start to pop up on the web. Some of them are pulled directly out of the *** of some websites in order to get some extra pageviews. This one, however, might be true.

It is now rumored that compared to the Radeon 4850 (RV770) the Radeon 5850 (Cypress -- RV870 ) will be roughly 1.6 times faster than the older chip. Looks like the new graphics cards will also supports a new anisotropic filtering method .

Of course that's the 5850 part, I do hope for ATI that there will be a 5870 part as well and whoops oh gosh would this be its feature set:

1GB GDDR5 memory
ATI Eyefinity technology with support for up to three displays
ATI Stream technology,
Designed for DirectCompute 5.0 and OpenCL
Accelerated Video Transcoding (AVT)
Compliant with DirectX
