***The Monster of GTX 580's has arrived - Asus DirectCU II!***

Three slot cooling is just silly imo, two slot can be a problem depending what else you want to fit. Not for em I'm afraid but I'm sure there's a market out there somewhere

 

[Aedus]

Nice specs chaps.. physical looks don't really bother me as I spend the majority of my time looking at my screen rather than my GPU

Are you saying blue lights in your PC don't make it faster?!

LIAR!

 

[Kavalree]

Hmm...when will we see diet's for PC's? That thing is HUGE!! ( Like Heylia-James from Weeds :/ )...

 

[DennisMenace]

I'm guessing that a large proportion of gamers who buy the latest, fastest, money-no-object cards like this are the same people who want SLI/Xfire, which would be tricky/impossible with this fat beast.

I guess it's ideal for power users with single GPU mobos, but that's gotta be a smaller market than SLI/Xfire users.

good god look at the size of that thing price isnt too bad ethoir compared to the rest... I don't see the point and paying extra for a small factroy overclock perfer to do it myself.

 

[Silenced]

imagine the weight of that thing hanging off your motherboard!!!

Don't you screw them to your case to stop this very thing...

Bloomin 'eck, its HOOOOGEE!

 

[RJC]

Blimey that looks big

Blimey that looks big

That's what she said

Nice card, the pre-overclocking is poor tho.

 

[kkbigal]

Do you supply a hernia belt for people who are going to pick that thing up?

Tis a fair point.. Sometimes I do get distracted by the beauty of my rig

Still gonna wait for the lightning refresh..

 

[GiT]

Are the new cards going to be much more? I'd wait before jumping on that tbh.

 

[james.miller]

'super alloy power' you say ? where do i sign ?????????????

 

[gatecrasherlok]

The three slot is the breaker in the deal for me. It may cool well but I need my pci-e slots.

 

[littlepuppy]

Despite it being FUGLY... Have to say some of the results coming out with it are impressive, someone has got the core up to 1.5ghz using LN2......

And it seems its incredibly quiet..

 

[jakejacob0]

Looks rubbish but performs really good by the looks of the reviews

 

[littlepuppy]

They should have called the Vs review with the phantom "beauty vs the beast"

 

[The Asgard]

Shame they did not go for the 3GB variant.

 

[JBod]

Its like the Dons dont realise it says "Don" next to their names when pimping and trying to sound like "common joe recommends..."

 

[rush_syndrome]

OMG.. the Jo Brand edition graphics card has arrived..

For that money they could almost have removed the fans altogether and slabbed it for water-cooling.

What you have now is a fat hovercraft
