    What in the world...

    I know people are going to buy this, but with that cooler, why?!? If it is the fastest card on the market then the first thing enthusiasts are going to do is rip that cooler off and integrate it with their existing loop. That is an ugly brick to have hanging off your motherboard!

    Two observations:

    1) Try putting two or three of those cards in SLI. ;-)

    2) Why would you launch such a monster card at a competetive event where the games played require the horsepower of a GTX950, if that?

    Just have to add that the card is ugly as sin too, the cogs are a nice touch but it's like putting funky sprinkles on faecal matter, it's still faecal matter with sprinkles...

    What do they expect a waterblock on the back to achieve? PCB's aren't renowned for their thermal conductivity. It might be enough for memory, but it's pointless compared to a normal waterblock if you want a user-made WC system and will be easily beaten by a card with a bundled AIO WC system if you want something convenient to fit.

    It looks like water block components are placed on both sides. At least the brick just below fan power cord looks like water block component to me.
