    I quite like it but its already redundant due to the price drops on the 480. Maybe its going to pep up their folding effort!

    If it was to drop in price.....

    Errrm, pricier than 2x 460s, and around the same as 2x 560 TIs? Not very good value is it... too late to market?

    Utterly pointless launch. Why buy one for > 2 x GTX 460?

    If it were 2 x 480's, 570 or even 580's that would make more sense.

    The only benefit of these over 2 individual cards nowadays is port density - ie not having enough power/motherboard slots to fit in 2 cards. Given that these use fewer heatpipes than 2 physical cards, fewer fans, ie fewer items on the BOM, then this SHOULD be priced between the price of 1 card and 2 of them, not at the higher end.

    Technically a great idea. In practice too expensive, and too late.

    I think the length of the card makes it prohibitive to most users; especially those with a single PCIe socket who are probably packing a more budget build.

    Why did they add a green stripe?! It was beautiful in black/grey, matched anything... now a green stripe! Why?

    Kinda pricy... if motherboard permits 2 individual cars would be much better value.

    Seriously, who cares about gtx460 right now? Vastly overpriced and looks damn ugly, although length doesn't matter for me [up to 24" long].

    If it was dual gtx560 version, then hell yes! It is my wet dream right now. Can't afford wasting 4 slots on 2 VGAs to create SLI. It is not just gaming rig.

    Need to consider bankrupting myself on gtx590.

    GTX460 1GB is quite decent value for money as you can pre-overclocked ones for between £130 to £140.
