Today for you we have pictures of two ATI R600 cards working in unison, but rather than graphics, they are pounding away showing off their prowess in a Teraflop Stream demo. ATi is stating that a
SINGLE R600 high end configuration will require 300 watts of power (+/-9%) and a
DUAL R600 "CrossFire" high end configuration will require, as you might guess,
600 watts of power (+/-9%). Compare that to a single GeForce 8800 GTX that will pull 150 to 180 watts. Add in a CPU to that mix and you overtake most power supplies’ peak ratings on the retail shelves today.
ATi is stating that
345mm / 13.6" will be the required space to fit the cards in a case. (
Yes, the retail version will be somewhat shorter, or at least that is what is told to us even though we have yet to see one.) This figure is the card's 335mm physical length plus 10mm to properly install the card. A GeForce 8800 GTX is just under 11 inches longs while the 4 GPU 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000 comes in at 11.75 inches.
