Jesus, that thing is unbelievable.

Still better off with 2 670s/7970s/7950s though.

Nice card I guess but I have to admit these custom designed cards turn me off due to the difficulty in getting a water block for them. It feels like a card with a very limited market because the people who have the money and will to purchase such an obviously high end card are going to be the same people who water cool which would obviously limit its success in the market.

I wonder if they are partnering with EK or Swiftech to get a block for this thing? I don't know too much about it admittedly.

good for power color! innovative and thinking outside the box. if the namesake
will not build a card, then so be it, they will. i was really meah.. until the afterburner
overclock and now thats what i think it should have come out of the box. not that
one couldn't do the same, but if left to the suppliers tool for performance, the
buyer would have been a lil sore. leaving a 20% performance gain on the table
at high end cost makes it better, but that should have already been binned for
customer appreciation.
really cool stuff from power color.. keep it up, 'cuz it looks like they are on their own

I really don't like the look of triple slot coolers.

Only on price. Performance wise you need to go back and check the review / video

Sure, although the price of the devil13 is actually less than I would have expected.

Here is my twin 7950 2.1 heaven bench (not 100% sure I've used the same settings as the review though).

Also a 3D Mark 11 performance score. Although I'm not sure of the Devil's graphics score (can't read it from the video) and I'm running on a 3570K so the physics score significantly reduces the Pscore.

Great bit of engineering.

I question paying massive amounts of cash on cards that don't do 'everything' tho, mean not 'all the bells and whistles'.
