AMD Radeon HD 5970 is a dual-GPU graphics card, which could be the first of its kind that carries two GPUs with super fast processing power. The yet-to-be announced graphics card has got a few photos leaked.
Apparently, in the picture below it shows the card has two GPUs. And it’s a power-hungry beast comes in big size, boasts 8-pin and 6-pin connectors, is kept cooled by a single fan with rotational speed of 4700 RPM. The length of this graphics card should have little problem, since it’s 13.5-inch long which will normally have issues to fit into even some full-sized chassis.
According to the source, those photos are only early engineering samples, which AMD had earlier got hold of the original posters and taken down the performance figures along side of the photos.
