^ Agreed.

Why spend so much on a GPU like this when something like a 7950/7970 or gtx 760-780 gets you through fine for most things at a fraction of the price? When necessary to upgrade, I'm sure the price of this will be a LOT less. Makes no sense to purchase this...

Ya, tough; especially that the new cards are coming out in just over a week.

The only reason I have decided to buy this is because of space/cooling. I want 4 gpus, but craming 4 physical cards in a motherboard is such a pain (cooling and space wise / audio card).

Its gonna be a while for AMD / Nvidia to come out with a 2-in-1 card, so I decided to pull the trigger.

This deal is cold as balls considering that most of us RFDers are cheap bastards!

You can buy a slave from Kenya for that price.

But will that get you 100 FPS on ultra? That is the question...

Life's tough decisions... Buy an ultra-high-end videocard, or a car from the opposite end of the spectrum, for the same price...

Looks like the card is sold out... Wow... People have money to spend. I noticed most Canadian retailers are not dropping the price of these cards.

ORR you can get two 290x's and CF them yourself, and even watercool it and it'll be cheaper than this..

Guess it's good if you're trying to build a super high end gaming system in a mini-ITX case (given that the card and cooler fit).
