Guru3D.com Image Rumors are all over the web regarding the pending release of ATI's Radeon 5800 series DX11 class graphics cards. We 'think' that the first released card will be the Radeon HD 5870 which is developed under codename Cypress.

From what we heard is that this card will be lined up directly against the GeForce GTX 285 pricing wise, the rumor is that this high-end DX11 class graphics card will get a pricetag of 299 USD.

Though I personally doubt it a little given the issues with the 40nm node, there is a a rumor that this graphics card would be based on a 40nm fabrication process.

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 11 and earlier revisions,supports OpenGL 3.1

ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU support for highly scalable performance

ATI Avivo HD video and display technology

Dynamic power management with ATI PowerPlay technology

2x DL-DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI

PCI Express 2.0 interface

Once thing is certain, we look very much forward top this new product release, whatever and how fast it may be, it looks like the shader processor count might be doubled up by the way.

Bring it on we say !
