Has 2GB of memory


The Radeon HD 5870 "Six" or Eyefinity Edition has taken some time to pose for camera over at pcpop.com. The card boasts twice the amount of memory over the standard model and features six Mini-DisplayPort outputs.

The card has no DVI or HDMI outputs as these were replaced by six impressive Mini-DisplayPort outputs and the "upper" portion of the backplate has been reserved for a heat exhaust. In addition to more memory, AMD had to include both 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors, while the regular 1GB non-Eyefinity version has two 6-pin connectors.

The clocks remained at reference specs so you are looking at a card that has 1600 stream processors and 850/4800 MHz clocks for the GPU and memory. We guess that this will be a limited card as we find it hard to believe that there is a huge market of people that can afford six DisplayPort-capable screens, or even three for that matter.
