    Priced very competetively too - pretty much cheaper than the 690's.

    Hopefully we'll start to see some proper reviews soon and see if any other board partners make their own offerings.

    It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up against the Powercolor Devil 13: http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/29...3-6gb-reviewed

    Which is rather out of my price range!!!

    If you looked the Powercolor card and the Scan card,they look the same. It seems the Scan card is made by VTX which is part of the same company as Powercolor.

    It'll be interesting to see if it comes with the same turbo bios that the Powercolor one does then. If it does and it's built to the same specs then this seems a pretty good deal for the ultra-highend gamers out there.

    It only says 900mhz on the Scan store page so maybe it doesn't.

    [Edit: Looks like it has the turbo switch upon closer inspection so maybe it will have the dual bios and have an option to run at 1000mhz. If it really is pretty much identical to the Powercolor version then this card should really fly through the benchmarks once it's reviewed. Especially given the 12.11 drivers improvements recently]
