If that $1k+ price is accurate.....What exactly is the point of the thing? I can get two of the Zotac AMP GTX580's that are factory overclocked for less than the price of that monstrosity.
I mean heck, some of those benchmarks (if accurate), have a stock GTX580 barely behind it.

For the US, using Newegg as a guide.....in comparison to a single GTX 580 stock, which you can get for $500, you pay $600-700 more to get 10-20fps with a card that runs lower clocks, cannot OC as much, and exhausts all that lovely hot air into your case.
Or for $1000, you can buy two stock GTX 580's which have higher clocks, can be OC'd, exhaust out of your case, and will give you higher frame rates? So what exactly is the appeal of this aside from people who only have a single PCIe x16 slot?I guess for people who want to chain a bunch of these to run GPGPU stuff? But trying to market this as a gaming card?
