ATI's new graphics card size is a litle silly

[Cartho]

ATI were so proud of their new small form factor Direct X 10 graphics card:

Thats ace, but its a bit smaller than i expected.

excatly
it is the result of all their best technicians working to make their GPUs smaller...

 

[Cartho]

I think those are Hypers RUN !

Hiper?? NOOOOO!!!!
SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!!!
RUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!

 

[Cartho]

err
read through these forums and check google - there are like 100 Hiper PSUs blowing up per week

 

[Cartho]

Yeah it is only the new ones which you need to steer clear of.
If your one is 2 years old then it should be fine mate...

Unless you pour petrol on it and start smoking. That would be bad....

 

[Cartho]

can you crossfire this card

certainly
in fact they are designed to be used in Crossfire - afterall they are so nice and slim now what would be the point in them NOT being crossfire ready?

 

[Cartho]

GUYS WE HAVE SAID!
IT IS ONLY THE NEW ONES.
IF YOU HAVE A CURRENT ONE YOU ARE FINE!

I would just advise against buying a NEW Hiper that is all....

well mine and my m8s are 18 months - 2years old, we bought them 3 weeks apart and they just blew up...3 weeks apart

Thank you for proving my point so nicely
