If someone makes a nice water block for this very tempted (something like the xspc on).

I'm pretty sure 8-Pack has already done so over the last couple of days, breaking the Firestrike record
I think EK are making one at the moment so i'm sure wee'll see that soonish. Dunno about XSPC

But can it run Crysis? :lol:
Will be interesting to see how many records this card will break over the next few days/weeks. Most likely all of them
It's not badly priced either, I was expecting it to be around £100 more than a standard 780 but it's only £40 more. If you have enough to spend £550 on a GPU then £40 more isn't going to be a big deal to you.

Very nice read and to think I had a chance at one of these makes me wonder if I should have taken it up.....Sigh

yeah he set a new record on the 23rd with two lightning cards
but kingpin already beat it again with about 1.6k points more..

I agree although I wouldn't be so bothered if the lightning logo was white or yellow. As Tom said in his video review why they've gone for green, blue and red seems v strange. Rainbow rigs look tacky

I dont get that card, yeah the performance is there but that extra piece of plastic on the back blocks of any slots above the video card, so running sli could be tricky and having a pci-e 1x slot above that for audio cards or other things is useless as well, considering most msi boards have a 1x slot above the 16x slot it seems a weird decision.

great card, but....
Great card but not sure about the near titan price though...
I wonder if they'll do a water cooled version like evga? It would definitely make more sense since this is mostly aimed at extreme overclockers, and maybe make a slightly cheaper and more flamboyant version for the gamers with less over clocking stuff (cause the red version is honestly too plain and frankly is Asus colour)?Here's hoping
