Dual-GPU HD 5950 coming from AMD in Q1 2010?



Rumor has it that AMD is planning to release another dual-GPU graphics card and will call it the Radeon HD 5950, a slightly less powerful version of the world's most powerful graphics card at the moment, the Radeon HD 5970. It is said that the Radeon HD 5950, if and when it comes to market, will be more or less a dual version of the existing Radeon HD 5850, with its GPU clock sitting at somewhere between 650 and 675MHz. Memory clock is also pegged at 3600MHz to 4000MHz, though that's just a rough estimate. It looks like AMD is going to get another winner, but it's not something everyone is going to be able to afford judging by the current HD 5970 pricing.
