I don't like the look of it! It uses clear plastic on the cooler - looks a bit tacky.

The GTX690 looks nicer!

Actually it looks like they first designed it without the perspex then did some testing - shock horror, seems that nVidia actually do some testing these day after bumpgate - and found that without the shroud it didn't cool well enough.

PCI-E slots were never designed for this much weight though, a desktop case seems better than a tower for these monsters.

Some cards have had come with supports for years now.

Ah, I only ever saw DIY solutions for this. Graphic Card Supporter that sounds like someone who buys two of these at launch after having had two 690s for a few months - and possibly two Mars 7990 too!

But £800 ?
With a 690 at ~£700 what's the point ?

I guess it's just so they can say they have the undisputed fastest single chip card on the market.

Presumably it should be a lot better with energy usage, temps, noise and so on.

And if you're totally insane, SLI gives more potential.

I should remember to post less on OcUK at times. Called the GK110 a second generation Kepler part and someone got annoyed! Seriously??

His name wasn't similar to a certain chocolate covered caramel sweet where giving away the last of the packet is considered a sign of affection was it?

Funnily,no. However,rollo is active on XS and Bit-tech. Do you know it seems rollo,was probably the main Nvidia Focus Group member or recruited others too?? It seems one of the main mods over on Anandtech forums was Nvidia Focus Group for years,until after years of complaints,this year it was revoked. OTH,an Intel engineer who worked on Haswell is also a mod over on the same forum.

if it really ends up anywhere near £800, they can go whistle and I'll wait until they stop fleecing customers and go back to the prices things used to be.....
