You'll have to remember it's running with two 5870 cores, each one which requires two six pins on its own.
Not really, the 460 competes with the 5850, so I'd expect a drop in the 5830, 5850, and 5870 prices.
Beets having to set up SLI you need the right motherboard need to buy two graphic cards and so on, also SLI has allot of problems from what I have heard.
Really? I thought the 470 was the 5850/5870 betwixt equivalent and the 460 more akin to the 5770... or maybe I thinking of the GTX 450?
Aggh, so many speculative articles all posting conflicting info. No wonder it's hard to keep up....
These 4GB dual GPU's are 'limited' runs so it really is hard to say how much impact they will have on pricing.
The standard 5970's have pretty much retained thier price point since release.
However the 5870 2GB Eyefinity 6 models and the newer OC'ed 5870's that are starting to surface vs how the whole Fermi range sells will determine what happens to the 'lower' tier ATI cards prices.
They will drop - but by how much - at this stage, who knows?
(I'm all for quickly and the lower the better )
