With super Hybrid Engine, all the values in the picture can be adjusted, even momory timing!
U can also save the setting to VBIOS, which is cool.

Safe mode button, I smell overclocking
If ur own VBIOS crashes, u can push this button to recover.

Nice!, these use higher quality components right? (Like solid state caps/chokes)

Would be nice to have a Nvidia card that didn't make the now signature choke buzzing that increases in volume as the stress that is put on the card goes up. Gotta love parts supplied by the lowest bidder.

What is the amount of video ram? (I assume 2gb)

Hopefully EVGA can start using higher quality components instead of just slapping their sticker on the ref design.

That is one seriously sexy gpu. I want it even if its just for cosmetics lolz

Wow damn that looks ultra cool I'll take 3 please :D

But if its 1GB I'm going to be "ultra" disappointed.

:down: Don't like it all. And I already can hear how loud it is...the same as a 4870 Glaciator or a 4890 Top...

I do think it's a looker... ;)

i think it's going to be a performer! i have only two concerns 1) price? 2) why release this card so close to the launch of next gen hardware?

^ What is up with these timelines ? MSI's 275 as well, what the hell?

But then, I think about it and figured out that A LOT of my coworkers are buying stuff like this all the time thinking they're buying the latest and greatest. They really do, and will continue to do so months after the next gen arrive.

when?


thats all i wanna know :p

Wow a recover bios option? Awesome =-) Would of loved that a couple years ago, but whatever.

If this card came out 3 months ago, i would be all over it. Too late IMO, GT300 should be here soon, ATI 5 series as well.

vga cmos reset, nice!

the heatsink looks like a normal ref model though :/

If only EVGA's customer service and product support could have sex with ASUS's engineering, and they could have a baby, that baby would be the best mobo/graphics card company in the history of life!

Would be nice to find out how much you can play with the volts...

Quick get an anime expert in here to confirm they're not apeing someone again. :rolleyes:

Made of concentrated win this thing is.

dream card........... but is too late to present on the market......

Thx for the pics SXS112

We asked for a sample (damn why didn't I ask for two lol) hope Asus will agree :)

If this card can run +720'ish daily, 1700Shader core and ram around 1400 on air ,it will never be too late on the market. More than enough oomph there... it will just have to be sold at a competitive price

OMG!!!!!! Thats is a very nice VGA :D:D:D I love it :D
