    Or it could be off . Occam's razor.

    Why on earth would they show a mock up card? If it is a mock up card and is actually just light plastic, it looks very impressive. Its the real deal. What you can argue is that they could change the design from an ES version.

    I think you misunderstand me, anyway maybe it's my fault cause my english ain't that good. Of course it's the real deal an not just plastic and of course is a working sample. I meant that maybe, and I'm just guessing here, that wasn't working and wasn't mean to work at the exhibition and maybe their psu had only 6-pin cables and so they put them even if it wasn't enough for the card to work. Anyway i'm saying all these only to mention that maybe 2x6-pin aren't enough for this card to work.

    Uh, no, for the fan to be a 'blur' it must be moving faster than the camera's exposure time can snap it at. That's why most pictures will have the fan looking like it isn't moving. Even mine turn out that way. You have to lengthen the exposure time for the fan to become a 'blur'
