    Nvidia aren't really going to be happy about this...

    Hexus - you going to do a detailed review? It would be interesting to see the comparison for a few games.

    *dribbles*

    I still love that they make these headline-grabbing cards (even if they amount to little more than component-porn) given how few people would ever buy one - most folks with the money and the desire for that sort of power would still go multi-card anyway.

    @ only 500 cards being made, i highly doubt that more than 2 cards would exist for tech sites to review... so it might take a while

    Nah, this is all about the reviews. It's not out there for sales as such, it's out for the publicity, and great reviews are the best way to get it.

    It does. The more relevant question is how's the ratio, and that's a whole different can of worms.
