Oh my God. That is so sexy!

One question that keeps going through my mind is, why do manufacturers continue to include those molex to PCIE power connectors...? Especially with a card like this? Boy, oh boy.

Two in Europe U say...
Don't tell me U got both and U want to CFX'em !?
THAT would be mad/excellent
Either way, card looks awesome.

BTW, I spotted that backplate isn't covering PCI-e plugs.
I guess ASUS learned something useful from GTX 680 stock cooler.

Can't wait to see full length video.

It's tasty, tasty, very very tasty, it's very tasty.

But how does it compare to a 295X2?

I think I remember reading these are cherry picked cores as well, so they should be good clockers.

When we got the 7000 series from Nvidia, we saw the Ares II; a card encompassing two AMD 7970 chips

Come on admit it, who at Asus cocked up the positioning of all the screws. It really doesn't look as smart as a normal card fitted with an EK block to me especially from the top. For what i'm sure will be a monumental cost it really doesn't look good enough but I guess if they've only got 500 to sell they will manage to avoid fussy people like me

Just out of curiosity, would 3 display ports have been a better option? With HDMI 2.0 not coming out any time soon, surely 3 display ports would be better for anyone who is crazy enough to try and run three 4k monitors.
