AMD "Evergreen" DX11 Card Backplate Photo

2x DVI 1x HDMI 1x Displayport Given the rarity of CRT monitors nowadays, this configuration makes more sense than that 2GB Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X card I linked to last week. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

What does CRT monitors have to do with VGA ports? A lot of LCD monitors still only come with VGA connectors. And personally, I don't see a reason for a HDMI connector as I have no interest in connecting a computer up to a HDTV screen. |

It's a two-slot card. There's a half-sized vent next to the bottom DVI
connector. It's similar to the backplate arrangement on nVidia's Quadro FX5800: http://www.trustedreviews.com/images...adrofx5800.jpg I wonder if this means the HD5870 (or whatever it will be called upon Sept. 10 launch) will be loud, thanks to the airflow restriction and associated pressure drop. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

... What does CRT monitors have to do with VGA ports? A lot of LCD monitors still only come with VGA connectors. Yes, the cheap store-brand LCDs, sure. They are half-assed solutions like the motorized seatbelts from the late 1980s. In an LCD connected via VGA, the image goes through an extraneous D/A - A/D conversion, with associated quality loss. And personally, I don't see a reason for a HDMI connector as I have no interest in connecting a computer up to a HDTV screen. You may have no interest. But I bet a good portion of gamers (who buy these high-end dual-slot cards) want their games on a big HDTV screen. Then there are displays like the Samsung T260HD that blur the line between TV and PC monitor. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I use HDMI to DVI on an ATI 4870 and while gaming is my main interest I do like to watch BlueRay films too - as I understand it HDMI to DVI means no signal conversion so no quality loss. Looks great anyway |
