Why the fuck less bandwidth and less TFLOPS? This isn’t even worth 1k, 690 beats Titan in performance, I was actually going to buy the titan because some of my games don’t detect 2 GPUs, This sucks, I’ll wait for other cards.

The lone option there will be EVGA, so I hope it does produce such a thing. It’s just EVGA and ASUS that are selling these in North America. EVGA hasn’t let us down in the past, so bring it on.

When this bitch goes water cooled from a manufacturer, count me in for one…..for now.

I do believe that availability is going to be somewhat limited, as you’d expect on a $1,000 GPU, but I don’t expect it to be as bad as some products in the past. For this launch, NVIDIA has gone far in working with its partners, which it just wouldn’t do if it was going to half-ass the availability. System builders are well-apprised of these cards, as are each vendor in the various regions (ASUS and EVGA in North America).

Well, hate to be the wet blanket here, but let’s hope NVIDIA doesn’t turn this card into yet another commercial vaporware as it is sometimes known to do of with its high-end offers.

Having to wait months, sometimes half-an-year or more (?) to be actually able to pick one because they are constantly out of stock and NVIDIA doesn’t care about filling in requests, won’t make your games run faster.

I’ve got three words for you:

I. Want. One.

That’s a great question, and I feel safe in saying “Newegg” within the next week. You know what NVIDIA’s like…

This is one SIC card. I would love to just have ONE. When are they going on sale and where?

I couldn’t agree more, well said. This is the kind of card that does make me wish I had a grand to set aside, because it’s a pure monster in all regards. You’d have to be REALLY hardcore to get more than one, but I am sure there are a lot who will. And I will be jealous of them.

Wow. 6GB on a framebuffer. I’m impressed. I love the Overvolting option, as I am a firm believer that ridiculous hardware like this should allow ridiculous tweaking for those willing to risk it. I can imagine it will likely result in just that many more sales when they’re burned out, but also I am just seeing NV going for the true hardcore cooling crowd – the LN2 shock-jocks who LOVE to make a system cry.

If I had $1,000 to just throw into a GPU, NVidia would win that sale just on that kind of stuff alone – bothering to make a product with “futureproofing” and overclocking as EXPECTED actions means it’s kind of going back to the good-ol-days of trusting the consumer of a high-end product to know what s/he wants from it. That’s exciting in its own right!
