This Tunisian launch party wasn't a silly rumor then? Hmm, 14th of may may not be too farfetched?

And is the ocworkbench supposed too be a link pvs? cos it dosn't work if it is...

 

[deathwish]

Hi Ham...Nah it wasn't supposed to be a link. I just put it in bold as I had provided the source at the top anyway. Afaik the whole Tunisian deal wasn't a rumour...hence the reason I provided a separate source as verification.

Oh, okay thats alright then!

 

[Rastalovich]

Hehe I was gonna mention it may well be shorter - and add that enthusiasts that buy this as soon as it`s available will be more than willing to hack-saw their HDD bay out in anycase.

Poxy HDD can lay in the bottom of the case for a few days

Frankly I`m w8ing for Kemp to get his mits on one and pit it against a G80 card for a nice battle of the fps.

From what the numbers show already, I'm disappointed in ATI/AMD for coming so late to the party (or pre-party) and still losing. Reminds me of the time ATI was ahead of nVidia and then lost a lot of ground when they diverted their attention to making a console gpu. Rast is right, though, gotta wait and see what's up when the 2900XT officially comes out and goes head-to-head with the 8800GTS.

And what's up with the gpu makers still making colossal cards??? cpu's started getting cooler and fitting more in a smaller space, why aren't gpu's? Pretty soon we'll be able to put customized license plates on them... "I PWN U2".

I love huge heatsinks though. If anybody gets one of these and replaces the heatsink i will buy if from you!! Ill mount that shiz on my 7950GT somehow. Mmm im good at ghettoing up things. That heatsink is compelte pwnage!!!

 

[NickS]

Very sweet. Those heatpipes are huge!

 

[Pat123]

I do agree the heatsink looks nice, however still slightly large, lol.. Would be funny to see if/how they could passively cool one of those beauts.. The cooler would be massive.

 

[PP Mguire]

I would love to see a cooler that big. Im all about big heatsinks hehe.

If its less than 10 inches, im gonna get one. THats the max room i got, and im not gonna buy a new frickin case for a 20ft graphics card

 

[Mr. Popo]

Supposedly it's 9-inch or 9.5-inch.

Thought you where set on an 8800GTS anyways.

 

[NickS]

I'm betting this is better. It's equal for the most part in a slow 2.66GHz Conroe with bad alpha drivers.
