    New DX11 HD5850.....


    Rumored pictures have popped up of ATI's DX11 Radeon HD 5850, or at least a variant of it. From what we can see, there's an incredibly long PCB for a single-GPU accelerator, an elaborate monolithic cooler, and a single 6-pin power connector.

    Its so beautiful! Hopefully OSx86 can manage to make a kext (OS X Driver) for it when it comes out.

    Depending on performance, I hope to make this card my next one.

    Looks nice, except for one really obvious problem...

    I use dual HD4870X2's (QuadFire) and am under the firm belief that this generation of cards is the last that make air cooling possible or realistic. The noise/cooling/effectiveness ratios are no longer viable and stock liquid-cooled cards are the only foreseeable solution for cards that will increasingly run hotter and hotter.

    If ATI/AMD could remove their heads from sunless regions, they could be the first on the block to issue stand-alone liquid cooled solutions on ALL their new cards.

    There is no way this is real. That PCB is way too long.

    If real, I want.

    If not real, I still want.
