It will be shown off at CeBIT next month.

Should hopefully be able to OC higher than current 5970's do. Going to be very expensive though.

(note: this has nothing to do with the Northern Islands refresh later this year. Seems to be a buffed up 5970 for breaking records and competing vs Fermi for those who can afford one)

Wow. How overkill is 4GB.. Though I can imagine it helping a lot in huge 7680x1600 Eyefinity systems. Only very rich people will buy that.
