That's pretty cool... Will want one definitely...
What's the cost of that card though

I am quite sure if will burn my pocket big time

I love the external power brick

Thats a croud stopper and a pants creamer, rolled into one star wars looking creature of POWER

And knowing asus, we know that this is going to be horribly overpriced too...

stroggos2k · 8th October 2005, 1:31 PM

I'd still rather buy 2x 7800GTX.

Goughy · 8th October 2005, 1:36 PM

Yeah well, ppl with too much money who like the wank factor..... I think its the targeted market

You too could buy one...... for 1 kidney!

stroggos2k · 8th October 2005, 1:36 PM

It's probably worth more than the entire second hand value of my pc.

SnooP-WiggleS · 8th October 2005, 1:39 PM

It'll probably cost at least as much as 2x7800gt, and probably more with that power brick adding expense. And at a glance that cooling solution woud be loud as. Better off with dual 7800gts/7800gtx/crossfire imo

/me masturbates,

It looks sexy.

Why do you think it would be loud?

SnooP-WiggleS · 8th October 2005, 2:36 PM

single 60mm fan cooling two GPUs. To get rid of 150W + heat Its gonna have to be fairly high rpm = loud.

I thought I smelled something burning

Actually, I agree *fap fap fap*

That thing be just fapalicious.

And you can grate cheese on it too!

I remember when the 6800ultra came out, i was reading something on another forum about this dude who masturbated over it and he came on it, wiped it off, and fried his graphics card when he put it back in and turned it on.

If noise is not an issue, its a great solution for those who don't have SLI, like me

, i might get one.

Are you sure that's a 60mm fan? If the card was the size of a normal video card, then it'd look right - but that card is actually significantly higher (fan could be 70mm or 80mm).

I'm sure Asus did actually think about the noise aspect - if it was a problem, they would have used a bigger fan (loads of space).

They'll probably bundle some fan slowing down program with it. (bad grammar there). I slow my fan down to 1300rpm and its silent on my 6800, and just ramp it up in games.
