One thing I think we can put to rest is this. As far as the issue of the Wii U GPU being a AMD 4000 line or 5000 line. It would definitely be the 5000. I think if, based off anything it would have to be the 5550. The 4600 line has two 400Mhz RAMDACS.

To be clear: The 4000 series cards CANNOT run 3 displays simultaneously, while Nintendo has stated the WiiU is capable of running 3 displays. It cannot be a 4000 series card.

All this Ramdac talk.. I don't get it. The WiiU does NOT drive three displays. It drives ONE display. Are you seriously thinking the Gamepad connection is analogue and requires Ramdacs int the GPU???

agreed, it's most likely rendering everything at once if it's an extra display space when not mirroring and streamed directly to the game pad, or a mirror stream to the game pad directly with different UI overlay. There is no need for a seperate RAMDAC.
