S.T.A.L.K.E.R. next gen ATI GPU Model Leak?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was just released on the shelves today, finally, after long delays; we are able to play the retail game. We picked up S.T.A.L.K.E.R. today, and as we usually do to learn all that we can about a game we are planning on using in our video card testing suite, we checked out the included ReadMe.TXT file after installing the game. Inside the ReadMe file includes the System Requirements listing the “Minimum”, “Recommended” and “High” requirements suggested. What caught our eye was a little something posted under the “High System Requirements.”

512 MB DirectX® 9.0c compatible card / nVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 / ATI Radeon® X2800

Could it be? Could S.T.A.L.K.E.R. just have told us what ATI is planning to name their next generation series of video cards? Also of importance is this little blurb:

Dual Core and Performance - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl should utilize your dual and quad core processor natively and automatically. Running a dual or quad core processor is one of the best ways to improve performance.

It seems we have another game besides Supreme Commander that supports multi-core CPUs out of the box.
