Just use a Ultra X3 1600 with 6 adapters to double up the 6 pin plugs. It's a single rail PSU that can easily focus the energy requirements of this setup. However I think this setup is a little too late now that the 5870 specs and benches have come out. Does not leave much excitement for these 'older' cards anymore. Think I would rather 2 5870 with waterblocks.Originally Posted by bladerash
Got to admit it looks epic but unneeded much?
Seriously though, wtf is the point apart from getting massive (if) FM scores? You cant even drop in a RAID card. I'd chose 'just' 2 of those with an OCZ P-Drive over this anyday tbh. They better fitted it with 2GB GDDR cause from the few single games that make use of 2GB of GDDR, it's pretty stupid to have 4 350Euro+ cards and getting beaten by 2 GTX275 cards with 1.792GB
And no, I didnt bother checking if it even has 2 or 1GB of GDDR because :effort:, my interest is nowhere to be found. As said it's nice and it sounds fun, but this 'feature' has a better purpose on say a GTX260/GTX275, better affordable and over the top performance over all (apart from this that is).

nah normal clocks
its for a quad 285 setup and the board cant handle the power(what no x2 4pin molex on the mb?) so it looks like they put 3 6pin pci-e on the card thats all

Like yeah, you would use a Sapphire product with that setup.saphire Pure
I'm pretty sure that anyone who would buy those cards thinks that Sapphire is the devil.
Yeah if you believe Charlie, LOL, That guy is the biggest TOOL. Why anyone even visits his website surprises me.
isn't this a repost?

yawn - this is so July - old news to somethough the design is freaking kick ass!... one of the three power connectors is for memory
The card is dead sexy. BTW, this was out before the new ATI, which looks really similar in design.

I don't doubt that but it makes no sense. 16 GDDR3 chips consume only like 30W.
You were not supposed to see this.
Have you ever had the card ? why do you call it a fail ? it's one of the better single GPU cards and at the moment at a very good price/performance ratio. Only thing for me it arrived too late on the market same as this eVGAcard......
ATI numbers are amasing for the red team, let's see how the heat output is.... With the ATI coming it will drop drastically in price, but the matrix is still a nice card...

hmmmm definately way too late to release these... im affraid it wont sell well and as a result evga might stick to ref designs in future, that would be a shame cause if it wont sell well itll definately be because of the timing...
i dont think the 3 power plugs are necessary, just like on the classified board you only need the additional one for ln2 and high volts...
this card seems to be made for ln2, but then why is it sold with a heatsink? and a not very good one at that... i dont know how well itll cool, but the external design is terrible, those cards are literally choking each other to death...
