It's now available and recommended for all on Windows Update. FWIW the demos do run perfectly fine on Vista, and I agree that a DX11 check would have been a better solution given no other Windows 7 features are used. Hopefully the installers will be updated soon.

Will there be a 5970 at all?
I think but am not 100% sure that there are two variants for the 5900 series.
Check the AMD DeviceID Page.

What's an XT without a Pro?

Ok, the point was that I would expect them to give the top model some fast memory, as it would be cheap on the performance/watt budget.
I was referring to these results, http://ht4u.net/reviews/2009/msi_r5850_ati_radeon_hd5850/index9.php. Sure you may say Furmark isn't real world, but it is very much possible to exceed TDP over a long period of time. That's just sloppy design. Granted AMD says it is possible to throttle now, so maybe it won't be an issue. And what we saw so far from HD5xxx is quite promising thus far, the cards no longer seem to exceed TDP. So if the 5970 is indeed downclocked 5870X2, I think it's quite possible that it won't really draw more than 300W (hence actually less than 4870X2), 2 5850 already wouldn't, do a little binning (minimally lower chip voltage) and it won't even with full simds.
In what way could anyone see that kind of power draw in non-real-world applications? I.E. what makes any application non-real-world?
Since no-one runs benchmarks with Furmark (framerate) it's ridiculous to only show power draw and leave FPS behind. FurMark then becomes an (un)realistic display of power consumption with no reference.

Where is Redwood?
close!

What's that has to do with Eyefinity?
Basicly no boarders. Put 3 of them together and you'd have a very nice screen. Esp if they get to 24 inches or so and don't cost a crazy amount

You will probably be able to buy 9 30" LCDs for a cost of 3 24" OLEDs.
Give it 5-10 years and you may have your wish.
but but the boarders !

I've been running a 3 monitor Eyefinity setup for nearly to 3 weeks now, and the bezel are not an issue. Your brain just adjust to it. Even my miss-matched monitor size setup (25.5" + 27" + 25.5") isn't an issue.
Btw, Eyefinity is gaming bliss. The added peripheral vision adds so much immersion to gaming. I'm surprised there's so little talk about it here with this supposed hardcore 3D audience.
