    Wow, looks pretty sweet. I reckon they could have overclocked it much more though. Would love to see how overclocking it goes as well as the pricing for sure.

    I believe the EVGA SR-2 would be that big. And quad sli on a 3 slot card would be 12 slots btw

    Your case would need 12 slots, but your mobo only 10. Think about it!

    Silly graphics power in any case!
