Jon Peddie Research, not the usual source of GPU Benchmarks, does a pretty thorough review of the new ATI Radeon HD5970 across several benchmarks, including PMark, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Unigine, and Resident Evil 5. The results are impressive.
The board comes with 2GB of DDR5, one each for each GPU. The GPUs get to the PCIe lanes via a gen2 PLX PCIe bridge chip.
We ran a series of tests on the board in Windows 7 and the results were very impressive—without over-clocking. ATI has a lot of headroom in the RV870 Evergreen GPU, and the two of them on the Hemlock board have been slightly detuned to stay within power supply and temperature bounds. To do that ATI decided to go with a smaller power supply solution by selecting a 6-pin + 8-pin power connector while still using the components from the 400W board design.
