Total waste of money. It's a gimmick like other "high end" products. Get an XFX 5870, OC the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of it, and call it a day.

When companies realize they can sell w/e crap they come up with, we all lose. Look at Thermaltake...

Gotta be kidding...memory bottlenecks appear at ultra high resolutions where your FPS has gone to :banana::banana::banana::banana: already

4GB 5970's and 2GB 5870's is like ddr3-2000...nice to brag about to anyone that doesn't know anything about PC hardware

Best GPU marketing ploy ever. If I had the money to drop on GPU's, I'd definitely by a few of these.

Screw using the case to rob a bank though, if I had a few of those I'd be holding up JF for that bag of his. :D

id think it would be cool if u could plug in the card into the gun, and it had a few batteries to spin the fan, which provided enough airflow to make the gun a real nerf gun.

That's one helluva expensive nerf gun.. and you're gonna cry if you drop it.

Just screenshot renders of the actual card right now though.. meh.

Then your best bet for that price is 2 AKs in crossfire.

Ships in a gun case? How freaking retarded. Seriously!!!

I really wish the hardware industry would stop trying to link extreme hardware and weapons. Too many times I've heard silly stuff like "overclockers using extreme weapons to defeat benchmarks" and similar statements. They are chunks of plastic and metal not in any way shaped like a weapon and we don't need macho marketing in an already badly marketed hobby. The case for this card takes the cake though..

CEO: "We need an idea on how to creatively ship and sell these cards"
Stooge 1: "How about something about 4GB?"
CEO: "Nah, too obvious.. everyone else is going to do that"
Stooge 2: "How about guns?"
CEO: "Brilliant! Run with it!"

This is the new trend: limited edition dual GPU cards.

I should have taken the customs job and robbed JF-AMD's bag of 12 core processors.

Edit: darnit, Serra has the same thought on p2. :p
