How long after the initial release will we see 3rd party coolers? I don't want to get reference but I don't think I can wait

My thoughts as well, reference coolers are nearly always poor performance and equally, if not more, ugly.

I actually like the look of the reference cards, shame they don't have backplates though. The aftermarker ones will no doubt perform much better though. Twin Frozr IV or Asus Direct CU III would be nice. Hope at least one of the aftermarker cards come with a backplate.

Just buy reference cards and watercool them, all the perfomance gains and none of the reference cooler

Monday 9th

Argh! Just seen one major supplier list this card at 417.99 Ex VAT! That should give us all an Insight into things

So it does look like there going to be a £500 card....not sure i can spend that much on just one card!!

 

[bigjimmyauk]

So are these much better for 1920x1080 res with 2-4x AA

I've not even read any reviews for them so haven't got a clue about them.

They are supposed to cost about $500, if we have to spend £500 that translates to $771. I know we have high VAT and stuff costs more, but ouch!

I would want to lie in a pile of those cards. So decadent

 

[thingemajib]

ill pay extra if i can reserve these two for a cf setup, on the condition that they are removed first:

So can we start ordering (if the price is right) from 12am tonight / tomorrow morning or will we have to wait till it is the 9th in some other timezone?

About 8am Monday morning. As we have plenty of stock you can collect from shop too first thing.

 

[COYS]

Sounds a good reason for me to get up early for work then

 

[J-FRO]

I wonder how much all that together is worth in monetary value.

about 50-60k if they are £500 a piece , just a rough guess as i kept losing count

I'm in need of a new rig, will be building one for around £1500 - £2000. This is sooooooo tempting.
