What's funny is that everyone has been whining about why isn't it released and now that release is imminent now it's "It's going to be too expensive anyway"...Quote:

I think it's a different set of people who do either.Quote:

So March, 8th is official, then? Sounds great! :D
That thing looks at least 5cm longer than 6970, btw.
March 8th.
This design is better, with the fan in between the two GPU'sQuote:

9 days and counting. I cannot wait and hopefully it will be around $600. If it launches at a $600 price I will order it the first day. Then I will just have to wait for a new water block.
Guys guys... there is a reason why the fan is in the middle...
It's so they wouldn't have to grind down one of the 8 pin connectors by half to fit the cooler :D
On XFX 5970 Black Edition, fan in middle is VERY loud:

Noise won't bother me in the least once it goes under water. :D
Yeah you're right to be fair. Kind of annoying seeing that kind of post in threads like this. If you can't afford it why bother posting about it!? :rolleyes:Quote:

The era of DUAL 8 PIN....has arrived.
Kind of disproportionate looking at the rig in sig? :p: Bottlenecked like crazy, and you're probably going to need a new PSU. :nuts:Quote:

Look shorter of what i have think, if i compare how the card go through the SATA, it dont look a lot longer of 5870.
Lol the system in my signature died a LONG time ago, I haven't gotten round to replacing it yet. I essentially have the basis for a watercooled system with no components in it.Quote:

EDIT 2 - Jeeeez that's one biiiiig card!!!
