ATI / AMD to finally determine the characteristics of the Radeon HD 5970. First of all, this video release is scheduled for November 18, that is, the day after tomorrow, and this will no doubt be the fastest video card coming New Year holidays.

Radeon HD 5970 actually consists of two chips RV870, which will operate at a frequency 725MGts, ie 125MGts less than the frequency of the GPU with Radeon HD 5870, but both used chips will continue the 1600 shaders. Thus, Radeon HD 5970 will have 3200 shaders and will come with 2GB memory GDDR5. The manufacturer still managed to leave the power of this model in an acceptable framework: video card Radeon HD 5970 will consume 294Vt that slightly, but still less than 300W. The overall performance of the new cards will be 4.64Tflop.

Video looks very promising, it will no doubt be a very big performance, and, according to analysts, it will surpass the video card GeForce GTX 295, which was the highest performance video card for about 10 months.
