AMD has just lifted the curtain on its latest generation of desktop graphics cards, being the first DirectX 11 supporting cards to hit the market.

The first two models are Radeon HD 5850 and top-end single GPU offering, the HD 5870, and in the near future we’ll see others added to the lineup with the most anticipated model being the dual-GPU based HD 5870 X2.

Tons of reviews from hardware websites have gone live thanks to the NDA lift, and we’re also serving up a fresh review of the retail edition card – just keep tuned for it.
