[StriderX]

WAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA £1200 when its $999 in the US

Bugger off

That is likely the price of getting exclusivity, likely.

Wow!
Nice card, maybe 8pack should get 2 of these in quadfire and Overclock them?
It would be a very intresting thing to see, wouldn't you agree?

I have the money. But it's going to be spent on me going to America in June. Better use for me.

 

[peahead]

Bonkers

 

[sparky05084]

Nearly as much as it cost my new build. Madness, just madness.

Really ? America is full of fat gun toting bible bashing yanks. The Asus Ares2 is full of pixel pounding FPS goodness. I know which one i prefer !

 

[Locky]

I will have 2 of them.

 

[Carl_Bennetts]

Just one would be great

 

[MooMoo444]

Can I review and keep the product?

thx

 

[bulldog147]

3x8 pin connectors!!!!!!!

1) More electricity bill

2) Power supply probably died soon

3) Too expensive

4) 8 Pack probably will buy it and break the world record again!

[Tattysnuc]

I'm stunned at the price. However great this is as a product now, I just can't justify even looking at it due to the price. This is going to be one hell of a performer though... Would love to see how it fairs vs 2 ordinary cards and see if they cherry picked the GPUs.

[bemaniac]

Hmm I've worked out it is actually possible for me to financially afford one if I get rid of all my xbox 360 music ps3 rpg and wii U 1st party stuff at cex.........hmm..........worth having good pc and no consoles or best of both worlds. GF won't let me at her bonus as I suspected.

I'd love to see the temps on this, single thick 120mm rad cooling two tahiti cores at 1100mhz, my gut instinct tells me it's going to get very very hot.

The 120mm rad is in addition to the heatsink/fan on the card itself.

The 120mm rad is in addition to the heatsink/fan on the card itself.

The heatsink and fans only cool the VRM and Memory. The water blocks are on the GPU cores.

 

[Cosimo]

That is a beast!
