Just use a Ultra X3 1600 with 6 adapters to double up the 6 pin plugs. It's a single rail PSU that can easily focus the energy requirements of this setup. However I think this setup is a little too late now that the 5870 specs and benches have come out. Does not leave much excitement for these 'older' cards anymore. Think I would rather 2 5870 with waterblocks. :up:Quote:

Seriously though, wtf is the point apart from getting massive (if) FM scores? You cant even drop in a RAID card. I'd chose 'just' 2 of those with an OCZ P-Drive over this anyday tbh. They better fitted it with 2GB GDDR cause from the few single games that make use of 2GB of GDDR, it's pretty stupid to have 4 350Euro+ cards and getting beaten by 2 GTX275 cards with 1.792GB:ROTF:
And no, I didnt bother checking if it even has 2 or 1GB of GDDR because :effort:, my interest is nowhere to be found. As said it's nice and it sounds fun, but this 'feature' has a better purpose on say a GTX260/GTX275, better affordable and over the top performance over all (apart from this that is).

I guess this means that GT300 is right around the corner. :rolleyes:
EDF called, they feel it's in your best interest to buy a power-station for your pc.

yawn - this is so July - old news to some ;) though the design is freaking kick ass!... one of the three power connectors is for memory :D
The card is dead sexy. BTW, this was out before the new ATI, which looks really similar in design.
This is no good. The PG&E will cut my power line if I buy this.

hmmmm definately way too late to release these... im affraid it wont sell well and as a result evga might stick to ref designs in future, that would be a shame cause if it wont sell well itll definately be because of the timing...
i dont think the 3 power plugs are necessary, just like on the classified board you only need the additional one for ln2 and high volts...
this card seems to be made for ln2, but then why is it sold with a heatsink? and a not very good one at that... i dont know how well itll cool, but the external design is terrible, those cards are literally choking each other to death...
