they are insanely priced but someone will undoubtedly buy them.

its not the price that scares me its the fact 48 hours after you buy it its value has halved and something much better will have come along

[Ultramag]

Just crazy...........

[directhex]

Interesting approach to the recession

[sawyen]

LOL...

I believe it is an effective way to fight recession *chuckle*.. It gets the money shifting hands

Besides, this filters away the ultra stupidly rich idiots to the 'i-thought-i-was-rich-BUT-is-now-piss-poor' upper middle class people's idiotic kids (who incidently thinks that they're dad is loaded)..

So the ppl who buys this will probably genuinely able to afford it.. rather than crying to social services later that they've now dug even further below the poverty mark..

Win win for both Nvidia and social support.. Kudos for Nvidia.. LOL

I'd rather get £1,030.98 worth of whatever it is Asus is smoking...

This is insanity but quite impressive nonethe less. Now sapphire need to get the 4890 equivilent done

[keasla]

but 4890x2 wont beat a normal gtx 295 so they will have to do somthing more

These will be snapped up by the overclocking crowd for breaking world records. One guy at HWBot just bought 16x £1000 CPUs in the hopes that at least one will overclock well. He'll sell the rest, but if he's got that money lying about, then 2 of these won't matter too much.
