Doesn't any one see that there is no logic in this product. This thing is a minimum going to take up three slots(the picture makes it look like its going to take up 4 slots or more). The fan is specified to take up 32mm. With the fan shroud, backplate additional heatsink thickness and the PCB, this should be 50mm+. This makes it a three slot product. Regardless of how good those heatsinks are, they are going to take up as much space as a Crossfire setup which kills the purpose for such a product. This makes it more redundant than the mars card as their was no way to get 2 285 gtx into two slots without waterblocks and a special MB. Additionally the mars differed from the gtx 295 not simply through mhz. The sheer weight might even make it dangerous to install in computers.
I guess it makes sense if your using it for eyefinity and crossfire doesn't get fixed to work for eyefinity setups. A crossfire setup is better for overclocking and will likely be cheaper.
I applaud Asus for making different products, but unless they can keep this to a double slot form factor, I don't see the point as most 5970 can reach these clocks speeds already.
