That thing is a sexy beast. I'm guessing this is the ATI version of the Mars. I can't wait to see that that thing can do.

WOW this card looks amazing for lack of better words even the physical design and look make me want one, never mind the insane 3D mark scores. Nice find would love to see some more benchmarks on this thing along with temps at those clocks. Any guesses to what it'll cost? 800-850? It looks like they've already pushed the core and memory speeds, how much further could you overclock it with 450W? max watts? It's good to know even with the Fermi delay that ATI is pushing the industry standard with this card and the 5870E6: http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3750&p=2 Edited by Herniter - 25 Feb 2010 at 11:00pm |

Why did they even bother with an air cooler, they should slap a waterblock on the card, thrown in a 480 rad and 8 delta fans, rename the card Ear-splitting Neptune and sell the whole package as a bundle.

You're right no one in their RIGHT MINDS would run this on water. Everyone knows those who buy the cards will are gonna dunk it right into a tank of liquid Hydrogen, which make me wonder why Asus don't sell the card with a barrel of the stuff, seeing as they're 'supposed' to be in tune will all the enthusiasts and shi...

no, not 1000 for ati. this is there reponce your that nvidia vapor-ware fermi card (has it been released YET!!!), there only 2 choices
NV wins the performance battle- ati takes a dump on there prices dropeing them 50 to 100 bucks accorss the board releases this card for $$750
ati wins and fermi fails - ati drops prices below the fermi markets the hell out of it and then makes a absolute killing
however, the second option will brobly not happen, ati MIGHT win the battle but the prices will probley stay the same, sad that companys do not think like me.....

you mean like the corsair HX1000, one of the most common power supplies here.. it has 6 8 pin connectors for the GPU's
 that is without using the molex adapters that comes with the card, so that would give you 4 more 8 pin connectors.
