Cool so we can expect some Powercolor 5970 LCS cards soon.

thanks for bringing back memories of my HD2900 making my old PSU sound like a fax modem.

The first card to make watercooled graphics really appealing!

I really dunno what PSU's you guys are using but I never had any problems back in the day when I was running my good trusty PC P&C 610W, even with high-end monsters. Now I only use >1KW PSU's for testing, so I cannot see anymore issues as far as the PSU is concerned, but I used to overclock some high-end beasts with the little PCP and never had any issues.

I'm not talking about the units most people on here will attach to these beasts, I'm talking about cheap rubbish with really bad Engrish on the box, the kind of '850W' PSU that only has one PCI-E 6-Pin adaptor and blows up with a mild OC and a midrange card in a case with poor airflow.

That heaven score is only 3 more than the 32fps I was getting with 5870 LCS, you sure crossfire is kicking in?
