It would be awesome if you could do that, but I m not counting on it. I am *pending reviews* hoping that some decent oc'ing on non reference cooling is possible, and am looking at the pricepoint as a replacement for my 48701gb xfire. at 500$(x2 cards) its a pretty sweet deal for the theoretical performance, i guess we ll find out in a day or so( 29th) I know the 5870x2 should be close to the same price, but i just dont think it will be fitting in my case, looks like a monster! lol.
