Dual. Eight. Pin. Power. Holy mother of god. Not even the GTX 295 had those. What could a 5870 possibly need that much power for?

Holy crap! The PCB is so dense with circuitry! It looks so awesome :D No idea how this card would scale to those speeds... Not to mention memory needs to follow (at least to some extent) - 1.5GHz means a 76% overclock on the core :D

Extremely cool to see any company make any component for the extreme minorty. Now if MSI follows it up with a mobo for modders they'll be in business big time :)

They should have put 4 G92's on a board and done a native QuadSLI on 'em. That would have really made it interesting...

4 of these in CrossfireX running LN2 with a nice voltmod? Well, I'm sure that would be quite the sight.

too bad you or whoever can't actually game with that setup :/
1.4ghz is insane though.

High score in vantage, or the high score in a MW2 match... In the end so long as it is fun..

That is some intense over clocking though. Very impressive that a GPU can be cranked that fast.
