It's way too expensive for me but It's nice to think about.

Is that an HDMI port next to the two DVI's ??? Looks like it, but they don't mention it anywhere.

Is that HDMI or DisplayPort ?? There are a few cards out now with DisplayPort onboard, such as the Palit 9600GT Sonic. DisplayPort is a royalty free version of HDMI that does not require a fee to include on a card.

6 pin and an 8 pin power lead, so I assume its similar to the ATI 3870x2 card, wherein the 6 pin powers the card and the 8 pin allows you to toy around with overclocking the card.

I am guessing the price will be $499 ... and if I'm off by a bit it wouldn't surprise me. They can't MSRP it at more than $550 tho.

What ticks me off most is my eVGA Step Up will expire about a week before this damn card is made available, so if I had just one extra week I could Step Up to this beast for less than $150 given my above price estimate. That makes WT verrrry sad.

No more discussions about this until I have sufficiently dried my tears

Edit: Fudzilla is reporting the price at $599 ... ow ... Fudzilla=grain of salt.

I foresee a future where the video card may be external much like the external hard drive at this rate.....

the water block sandwiched between the two parts of the card is cool(pun not intended). I've been wondering how long it would take manufacturers to flip a card and do that.
