The 5970 has a mini displayport out not a regular displayport. What do you think of that circular?
That's interesting. Are there even any mini DisplayPort equipped monitors currently on the PC market? I only know of Apple ones (24" ACD, 27" iMac, and those CinemaView Apple clones).
If not, it would be pretty pathetic of ATI to release a card apparently catered towards Apple monitors but then have it be incompatible!
Although from looking at pics from a few 5970's, I think the choice of mDP over DP may be totally based on physical dimensions (they are squeezing a mDP output between two DVI outputs and they dropped the HDMI). So perhaps they are just expecting people to buy a mDP/DP cable (for full DP monitors) rather than hook these up to Apple mDP monitors.
