R600 + R700 !

That fan will have to seriously shift some air just to even vent out far end, perhaps a possible Geforce 5800Ultra leafblowing noise topper! :p
 
What is going on with the graphics card lengths...soon they are going to be so big they are going to ask you to place it outside your case...I think they need to work more on technology which actually fits inside the majority of peoples computers!

Not bad not bad. :p

I'm looking at one of the CSN Martins. Again, an arm and a leg and I'll never be able to afford one but I'm still looking at it.

It's all good though. :)

Nice sig

75W for their lowest spec DX10 card. That's more than the 1950pro, more than the 7950GT. And this is their lowest spec DX10 card, so it might not necessarily be any faster than those two.

Anyone else think that's pretty high?
 
I'm highly suspcious about the R600 delays. It seems very likely that the R600 card doesn't perform much better than the 8800 and Ati were planning to release the R600 at a cheaper price to compete.

But now that Nvidia have introduced another budget card and are on target for the release of the 8900 - this has all but all messed up Ati's strategy.

Whether this is true or not - it still really looks like the timing of the Ati purchase by AMD has messed up their game plan. Doh!

How on earth are these cards ever going to fit into peoples' cases? I thought the 8800GTX was taking the pish?! Now this.

yeah the gtx's are right at the limit. i dont know who we should be blaiming though - nvidia for making the card shorter than the a full-size atx motherboard (which shouldnt be a problem should it?), or the case manufactures for not allowing full length cards?
