Well this is disappointing. I was thinking the NDA would lift at midnight EST. Apparently not. Since it's almost 1:00 EST; it probably going to be sometime tomorrow I'm guessing.

Keep an eye out for us Happy!

2am is my cutoff point, then I'll be back at 8am est. :whiste:

Hmm.. I have a tough decision to make. God damnit why can't Asus make a DirectCU II 570

 

[Castiel]

Asus 560 DirectCU is only going to have a double slot cooler

Awwww

 

[happy medium]

Wait they make a gtx580 and gtx560 with the direct cue II? I'm sure they will make the gtx570 also. That picture of the triple slot cooler was a gtx580 right?

Love this but I prefer EVGA.

What does the Ti suffix means?

How's the price/performance ratio for this card? Is is going to be better than Amd's offering?

Very nice for 250.. No one believed me they'd be 249.99. Everyone said they'd be 280.

[Nged72]

Ahhh, I don't know what one to get.

 

[endlessmike133]

Ahhh, I don't know what one to get.

i'd just get the evga one @ $250 and OC it myself

And after a few days to a week or so, they probably will be.

That Gigabyte one has a core clockof 1000MHZ whereas the Twin Frozr has 880MHZ. That's interesting.

I've always liked EVGA though because of their customer service and warranty

 

[Castiel]

I want to see an SLI review before i order but that DirectCU II looks to be a winner

i'd just get the evga one @ $250 and OC it myself

The DirectCU is the same price with a better cooler. Why would you waste your money on EVGA?

 

[happy medium]

Ahhh, I don't know what one to get.

I'd get the Super overclocked one, for the higher memory overclocks.
At 1000 core ,you are very close to gtx570/6970 performance for 275$.

Add voltage and overclock more! I bet you can hit 1075 core.

Hey PsychoSaysDie

 

[MentalIlness]

You almost ready for some benchmarking Happy ? Once Newegg gets the EVGA cards, ima grab a pair.

 

[happy medium]

Castiel,
How did he have a 900 default core clock?

The tiger direct ad says 830 core clock.

Yes, cool bro and don't forget our idea's for benching.
I can't believe newegg does not have cards avalable yet. wtf?

I haven't forgotten. I did however find out that Precision can monitor the memory usage during benching.

I didn't know that cool, that should make things easier.

Because EVGA has a lifetime warranty on these, and they don't care if you fry your card because of overclocking, or if you put on an aftermarket heatsink, etc.
