Man...those new ATI chips are interesting.
I don't know if I'll go for the revision or not, because I'm very close to getting my second card already, and if they're more expensive they'll probably exceed my budget...

I can't help it... I keep going back to the GX2 as my favorite choice...
My god.. I think I am a nVidia fan boy and didn't know it...
I think I have GX2 feaver or somthing??
I can't get passed that the 9600GT was faster at 1920 x 1200 than the HD3870 in Call of Duty4. It makes me think nVidia is still actually ahead in the speed game no matter what 3DMark06 says...
Look at the size of this Monster, and tell me it should play a mean Crysis...
It's just gotta...

It looks like the Hummer of Video Cards?
I also believe in the thinking that OC video cards are actually tested to insure that the chips on that GPU can take the OC. I further think that a certain % of cards don't accept the OC and get sold as stock speed cards. That is why I think buying an OC'ed card is not a waste of money, and considered then to be 'cherry picked' cards, or at least garenteed to take the factory OC, and mabey more...
My ideal GX2 would be factory OC'ed, and with a high end waterblock pre-installed with 1/2" fittings!
Let's hope somebody's working on that already.. lol
Realistically, unless this thing needs it, I am starting to accept that my Flame thrower of a NB, and OC'ed Q6600 will probably end up being all the blocks in my loop.
At least I know I didn't overload the Keg?

Yup it's huge
I just want to be able to run 3 of those cards hehehe
Will need a big case to run those puppies that's for sure !
My God ... 3! You would have to keep a bucket of water near, just to keep the smoke down...
Do you think I should get a decent amount of techno shock stepping into that from my 8600GT?
I wonder if I could keep my SB fan, and the GX2 both, if I install it on the top blue slot?
Do you think a GX2 will fit in my rig?
