Just a heads up.:thumbsup:

Both cards are expected to ship during the middle of August around the $200 price point.

Seriously? Lol.

Yea for $200 you would REALLY want a single-slot current-gen card.

I guess if living small is more important than money....

 

[lsv]

Yea but you could make one helluva tiny pc with a card like that :O

I seem to remember the GTX 260 single slot card carrying a bit of a premium too. Still, $200 just for single slot is pushing it. I suppose besides the GTX 260 it is the fastest single slot money can buy.

That's unbelievable to me as well. I suppose they'd know their market better. Who knows, maybe SFF gaming PCs are serious business. I certainly won't be clamoring to get one. For almost $40 less, a factory overclocked 5770 can be had from our local stores here, so I guess you guys from the US would even have better deals from Newegg and such.

Pretty much what you might expect. It performs the same, runs a little hotter, and is more expensive. Surprisingly, it's not that loud, though. So the only advantage is really for those who have very little space in their systems. Perhaps those who want to go crossfire but only have the last slot available in their motherboards and no space for an overhang?
