ATI intorduces the new HD 5870 today
Highlights:
The HD 5870 is capable of delivering up to 2.72 TeraFLOPS of computing power. DirectX 11 support. Will drive 3 monitors off one 'consumer' board. 6 with the Eyefinity version, 8192 x 8192 resolution across multiple monitors. Game play across multiple monitors is now easily setup in Catalyst Control Center. See an article at Tom's Hardware he http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...5870,2422.html Lots of pictures to see. And a short one at TG Daily he http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/44064/135/ More versions coming in time. William |

OK, the GPGPU-ish job I want to do (GNFS linear algebra: find a kernel vector for a 30M*30M matrix with ~70 non-zero entries per row, a simple matter of about a million multiplies of the 30M*30M matrix by a 30M*64-bit vector) is a somewhat esoteric one, but it would be really handy to have 16G on the graphics card even if that had to be slower than the blazing-in-all-senses RAM on current machines. Or to be able to read over PCIe from main memory; I don't know if ATI cards nowadays support this for buffers of 4G. I know the nVidia cards are tied to 32-bit addressing to the point that a 16G Tesla presents as four 3.75G cards ... Tom |

Tom If you look for the swiss-army-knife of brute-force ask your next friendly Deep-Thought agent. I suppose after the last job they run pretty idle now. Ciao, pun intended Niels |

HardOCP has an in depth review up on the 5870, see it he
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2009/...eo_card_review. They took it all apart and gave us a look. They have your picture too: http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?im...MV8xX 2wuanBn It finally sunk in that that card is a 5870x2. So what - that's over 4 TeraFLOPS of computing power now? Unbelievable. The end of the year is going to be decision time for me. Everything I want is going to cost around $2,000. Upgrade my computer or upgrade my camera. Or set on the money and see which way the economy goes. I don't like what I see coming this way. William "First of One" wrote in message ...
