reports the ATI Radeon HD 5970 dual-GPU card is expected to be launched for around 500EUR:
Although our price search engine is about as trustworthy as a heroin addict going cold turkey, it seems that the Radeon HD 5970 MSRP is €499, give or take a few euros, which the engine probably used to score some H.
The price is in line with our expectations. An HD 5850 will set you back anywhere between €200 to €230, while an HD 5870 costs around €300. As we said yesterday, the GPUs on the HD 5970 apparently run on HD 5850 clockspeeds, but they are not crippled and feature the same stream processor count as the ones used in the HD 5870. Basically, the HD 5970 is midway between, times two.
Additionally,
a new photo of the Radeon HD 5970 was released by Asian tech site 4Gamer.
