Popping up over the weekend is a somewhat blurry photo (cleaned up as best we could) of a completely naked dual-GPU prototype of AMD's Radeon HD 6870. The full frontal snapshot shows two Barts GPUs positioned in the middle of a long slab of PCB. Each GPU boasts 1,120 stream processors for a total of 2.240, and each with its own 1GB of GDDR5 memory, also visible in the picture.
According to Semiaccurate.com, which posted the pic, the concept card that has yet to receive a name belongs to Powercolor. You can see that it has a pair of 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors, which means you'll need a sturdy power supply. The dual power connectors also bode well for would-be overclockers.
And that's it for the details. Powercolor doesn't seem willing to divulge any more information ahead of Computex, so until then, take a peek and wipe your chin.

Multisceen. Longer interval between upgrade. Price compared to a 6990.
The 6XXX series has many options to choose from, that can fit anybodies budget. Powercolor is offering another option.

I mean, yes, it has less memory so therefore will be cheaper, but there is -ZERO- point in this card with less then 2GBx2, it -WILL- run into FB issues LONG before the card is anywhere near fully utilized, and multi screen gaming? No sir, that's a joke, it's prooven time and time again you -NEED- high FrameBuffer to scale well at ALL into multi screen.
TL;DR: There is zero point in this card, other then a marketing stunt.
