Air cooling has definitely been tried...results are impressive.

Oh good . Just out of curosity, I am not sure if this is an NDA breaker or not but could you give us a "ball-park" range of temperature / wattage on the R520 core. It has been said that she's a hot little devil and the stock cooler kinda frightens me Especially since ATi has a history of using minimal cooling.

Also do you have a sense of availibilty of the lower end cards? Ie PROs and XLs. If you cannot anwser these questions I understand completely

In addition I would like to say, to those reading this thread to ignore Troman. There have been many instances where opposing reps create false/pseudonyms to disrupt a marketing effort. It has happened specifically to us here on this forum and abroad.

I would take people's comments like his with a grain of salt.
