Wow.....

I'll wait for that wagon to circle the block a few times before I jump on it..... My current rig already yawns at everything I can throw at it (other than the new x10 stuff :( )

Nice hardware and performance, tho!

Man, the size and power requirements of these cards are getting beyond ridiculous.

My friend ordered one and I nearly ****** a brick after seeing him drop $650 on a video card, but I am ooooo sooo jealous.

We're getting back into Voodoo 5 6000 territory.

I thought the Voodoo 5 consumed considerably less power than the cards of today...

The Voodoo 5 6000 had it's own external power supply for it's 4 GPUs and 4 mini fans. Not a big deal since only a few thousand were made.

As for the 8xxx series... my 7900gt runs every game at maximum settings. I don't think I'll adopt DX10 quite yet, especially a first gen card just released. Look at the FX series with DX9...

It's nice that they weren't paper-launched. Excellent execution on an excellent top-end card - can't complain about that.

The evga 8800GTX looks sick, I'm almost tempted to jump the gun and get one, but the PS3 drops in 8 days. Arrrgh!!!!
