No. With the card you will recieved a voucher that will unlock
TF2
HL2 EP2
PORTAL

The black box is basically the same as the Orange.
It's meant to be on 55nm too. Less power/heat. EDIT <---- Disregard this as I got a little mixed up.
Cheers for giving us a little insight on the specs Gibbo. I'll be tuning in tomorrow to see what's what.

The 2900 pros in November will be on the 55nm process, not the ones due now as far as im aware, the ones coming now are still on an 80nm process.

I think the Blitz boards have been discontinued by Asus.
Gibbo should be able to give a clear answer as to what is going on.
Ahhh. I half remembered your other post in this thread and somehow thought it was these cards that were going to be on the 55nm. Oops

nearly all games... its the driver that does the crossfire i think..Also does crossfire work with all games unlike sli? Or does it need to be coded for games just like SLI? I rember crossfire being better?
MM a lot of questionmarks

£190 quid :O no thanks lol.
Are the X38's going to have moe then a x4 slot for another card in crossfire?
Hi there
From what is currently available Abit IP35 Pro is one of the best boards and that is in stock.
Next board from Asus features X38 chipset and to give a clue as to its name here is a hint:-
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
I am sure that will give it away as to what the new top-end X38 based board will be from Asus.
does anyone know if these will use less power and produce less heat? just having a shuttle with only a 350W PSU i have to be concerned about how much power it is drawing from the system. my X1900XT hasnt been a problem so far, but if these use less power then the 2900XT and around the same as the 8800GTS's then im sold.
if these can clock to the same as the XT then i think im in love

They will probably only use less power due to the clocks but thats all! I would assume that when at XT clocks it would be about the same draw
