published What could that be!?
These days, it's not enough to have just one GPU. Sometimes you need to have a couple video cards in your system. But to be even cooler, you need to have multiple GPUs on the same card.
AlienBabelTech has images of a mystery card from ATI that features 1440 stream processors, pointing to the Radeon HD 5850. The card is believed to be the HD 5950, or perhaps the HD 5850-X2.
Check out a couple more pictures of the card here.

curnel_D The on-board crossfire link gets toasty. There's no way they'd leave it uncovered. This card is a fakeasaurus rex.Reply -
roofus Well the card may be real with a cooling setup that would never be used in manufacturing. Huge card!Reply -
