Actually, the two GPUs in 5970 are not same as the GPU in a 5850 or a 5870 graphics card.

Actually, it's 2 5870 GPUs, at the clock speeds of a 5850.

I’m aware of that, but when Apple made mDP it wasn’t part of the spec. VESA readily adopted it after Apple released their new Macs and the new spec including mDP didn’t actually become until a week or two ago. This is the first product I’ve seen that included it outside of Apple. This is important because while DP would surely be readily adopted as the future of computer display tech mDP’s future is less assured.]]>Nov 19th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/Nov 18th 2009 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/Nov 18th 2009 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/Nov 18th 2009 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/ati-radeon-hd-5970-worlds-fastest-graphics-card-confirmed/Now if the Fermi based Tesla will ever see the light of day this may change again, but that's a while to go.

Too bad though. When nVidia releases their GT300 cards they'll be ambushed again by the HD 6xxx cards, and then they'll be trounced again.
