Ladies and gentlemen, the beasts have been unleashed! I don't know about other producers, but ASUS launched a few days ago the EAH3870X2 series, together with the OC version of the HD3650. While I'll keep the lower performance card's story for tomorrow, you have to find out about the dual-GPU beast today, so here it is...

Lovely sight, don't you think? I know that NVIDIA fanboys are boiling in their own juices at this time, since the 9xxx series should arrive sometimes in March, and that only if they manage to keep up with the last promises, but for now, video cards using two ATI's RV670XT GPUs are going to deliver the best "bang for buck" ratio. Do you want to find out more details? Sure, it's my pleasure!
The new EAH3870X2 comes in two almost identical versions, one having 4 DVI outputs, and the other only 2. Other than that, we have DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support, while the DirectX 10 game Company of Heroes - Opposing Fronts and a nice "Leather CD Wallet"(I wonder if they are using real leather, because I got a great wallet with my X1950Pro card from ASUS, but I found out in the meantime that is not made of leather, but some synthetic stuff) are bundled in the package.
The EAH3870X2 has 1GB DDR3 0.8ns memory running at 1.8GHz, a 256-bit memory interface, and an engine clock of 825MHz. The card is HDCP compliant, and you get all possible outputs included (HDMI, D-Sub, HDTV, TV Output Adaptor/Cable). Also, a fact worth being mentioned is that "It also comes specially designed with dual fansinks for both GPUs – ensuring efficient heat dissipation.", so if ASUS did a good job with the cooling system, as they usually do, this card should run cooler than competing models from other vendors.
Regarding pricing and availability, I think best thing to do is check with your local ASUS retailer. Good luck!
