    We'll have to convince PowerColor to let go of its prized possession first. A few more 'let's-have-that-card-in-a-compo' comments wouldn't go amiss.

    Re: News - PowerColor challenges NVIDIA's might with the Devil 13 monstrosity

    id be a happy bunny if that could wind up in my system to replace this 460 so i could play Arma2 !.

    Finally they are getting ready for launch, way out of my price range but its nice to see a dual gpu AMD board to finally take on the 690 so hopefully it doesnt disappoint!

    Dear Mr PowerColor, please let Hexus have one of those fancy new Devil graphics cards for a competition and I'll seriously consider defecting from NVidia for the first time!



    That said, a GTX 690 competitor would be so much overkill for what I do (I have a GTX460 at the moment) that it's funny.

    Re: News - PowerColor challenges NVIDIA's might with the Devil 13 monstrosity

    when you test the card, can you plug in 3 monitors, set up a profile so something different runs on each screen, then load up 3 different copies of crysis. see if it can handle it.

    i bet it wont.

    im willing to wager my 8ft grizzly bear garden ornament, pick up only

    you just need to drop off the card when i win it in the competition you need to have

    Good idea if your idea of a monitor is something like this.

    Re: News - PowerColor challenges NVIDIA's might with the Devil 13 monstrosity

    Only two DP connectors? What were they thinking?




    I guess we'll never see a (high-end) card with 5 or 6 DP connectors again.

    3x 8-pin connectors, that thing will need some POWER, the card is tremendously huge, i hope the performance speaks as the size of the card is.
