I
usually glance over these, but the specs here get me pretty
excited... 1000MHz GDDR3 and 16 Shader pipelines... I can't
wait to see how this performs.
So,
you would think that all of this power would need a larger
PCB than what we have been seeing, but it seems that ATi
have a knack for building more efficient cards than their
rival nVidia. Their chips always seem to need less cooling,
their RAM never needs additional cooling, they consume less
power and their physical size is usually more compact than
a “comparable” nVidia-built card. Have a look
at the FX5900 as compared to the X800XT. Quite a difference,
in fact this card would probably fit most SFF cases.

All
of that horsepower in a very lean looking card.

Lets look at the test bed specs and performance graphs...
