AMD invited Legit Reviews up to their private suite in the hotel that Quakecon 2009 is being hosted at for a first look at gaming on one of their upcoming DirectX 11 graphics cards. This graphics card has not been officially named yet, but it has the internal code name of 'Evergreen' and we managed to snap a picture of it.

Taking a look at the back of the case though we can see that the DX11 'Evergreen' graphics card is a dual slot solution. For hooking up monitors the card has a has a pair of dual DVI outputs and then both DisplayPort and HDMI connectors. There is also an exhaust port on the back for what could be an outside thermal exhaust system. This is one of the only pictures of this elusive video card on the web!

saw this at PC perspective last night from a link from tweaktown twitter, lol BUT, you have pictures of the shirt and the back panel, and somehow your screenshots look much better :shock:

im surprised they demo'd it with an Athlon II, figured they would have went with a Phenom II 965, i guess they want to show lower end CPU's can handle it fine?

You shouldn't be shocked by that... :) I figured I'd take a little more time and do real screen shots versus pictures with a camera and write it up with a little more detail that he tossed up. Same basic content, but two different methods. Glad you liked this one a little better.
