    it'll be interesting to see whether this card is available in numbers on the 14th
    or not. i guess that's almost the most interesting bit.. same with the ultra cards

    no the man was furgie (misspelled intentionally, or was it that freak of nature (singer)). seriously though, seen the rumours of ange being terminal ill? i mean the looks go with it according to some pics on superficial or ontd.

    but anyway. the pleasant surprise.. well as far as i know it hasn't been explained or elaborated on, but when i see and hear statements like the one in denny's thread about certain gt3 scores being WAY low and his stock score being close to or on par with a 8800gtx, then i'll say.. what the heck, this IS a pleasant surprise.
    i mean, yea i've had a love-hate relationship with the r600. starting with loving then loathing, loving, ... you get the picture. atm i'm looking forward to it, although i won't be buying one for at least 2 or 3 months (being out of country and away at around the time it goes on sale will save me this time, yay). but i'll be interested to see it rock the socks off (hoping it will anyway).

    Most likely that it can OC much higher than one would expect and perf scaling is WOW.

    Seems watercooling will bring 1ghz to the masses.
    That is nice.

    14k in 06 seems also really nice. at 885mhz that indicate some headroom using watercooling.

    The card priced as it is, and with some headroom clocking is a winner in my book.
    4670k 4.6ghz 1.22v watercooled CPU/GPU - Asus Z87-A - 290 1155mhz/1250mhz - Kingston Hyper Blu 8gb -crucial 128gb ssd - EyeFunity 5040x1050 120hz - CM atcs840 - Corsair 750w -sennheiser hd600 headphones - Asus essence stx - G400 and steelseries 6v2 -windows 8 Pro 64bit Best OS used - - 9500p 3dmark11 (one of the 26% that isnt confused on xtreme forums)

    Key word is drivers. The last update made a HUGE difference in performance, no kidding.

    You can go higher than 1/1 (GHz) even with WC.. for sure kinc will take it to the max with LN2.

    I expect some WRs.

    I donno about that. Maybe no WR in 06. Have you seen this yet?
