lol

doubt it - guessing you're referring to ATi's 4gb jobs?

Im guessing 550-600 is a fair guess for the price?

Haha, that grill on top could double up as a method of cooking your bacon?

3GB 580 though is madness, is the extra memory really needed?!

Love the looks. Will definitely love the performance. Already hate the price.

looking a the pics I see there may be issues with trying to fit a full body water block. With the display ports stacked two hi I don't think the full block will fit as it should. Can anyone confirm?

psychas · 1 Feb 2011 at 16:28

water blocks dont fit on it

Gelly54 · 1 Feb 2011 at 17:18

lovely looking card with 3GB ....

But it a Shame Gainward stuffed completely up by making it about three slots wide which can/will cause problems for SLI setups..
