Good, I need a sub $1400 GPU upgrade.

what's going to fill the $1000-$1200 niche?

Any reviews or benchmarks? I want to see this thing go up against a GTX 690 and SLI GTX 670s...

3x 8 pin power connectors? That is exactly the same amount of juice as two reference 7970s. Power system might not be quite as impressive as it looks then.

If it beats 690, it will sell out, obviously. Two 1050MHz cores might... maybe. lol

Guys its 1200 dollars. Two 7970s will run you 960. Its an utter ripoff

That's not going to stop the kind of people that this is aimed at though... sad but true

At most places the GTX 690

It's pricey forsure. Guess somebody looking to get the most out of a single slot can choose this or a GTX 690 depending on there uses for the rig besides gaming.

Does look like it's got one hell of a pcb but that baby is screaming for a full water block.

WTF... not that it's what I'd buy but this is ridiculous.

I rather my computer didn't turn into a singularity while I sleep thanks.

I guess the major draw of this is being able to use 6x portrait mode eyefinity, which the kepler cannot do. Kepler is 4x max at this time. That said, there is no way in hell I would ever buy a card like this. 1200$ is ridiculous even if it can do more screens in surround.
