    Very interesting, But for me its way to dang long! I could bearly fit my 6800GS inbetween my HDDs! Also way to dang expensive. But still very interesting.

    1) I think we may need to mount our HDDs outside our system if things get bad, but I think it will fit. It may reqire SATA drives though since those cables are thin and flexible.
    2) A contact of mine say it runs fairly quiet and the model he saw running was "cool". This really doesn't surprise me since its known that asus did the refernce design. If its one thing about asus, other than quality, is stuff running quiet.

    Wish I could go since I work with graphics and stuff, but plane tickets pretty expensive.

    Emm, has anyone loaded up the www.guru3d.com homepage lately? Have a look in the top-left corner. See something different?
    Looks like Big H is getting ready for launch day too...!

    I wouldnt be surprised if the extra power connector is for a onboard physics chip.

    Maybe it's just for more "stability" like with the 6800Ultra. Because back then then the 6800GT which was identical except for the clocks, easily ran @ the same speeds. But if you wanted to juice up even more it became harder...

    Other than that the webpage's title has "8800" in it now, apart from that, nothing much really.

    I'm pretty sure it will work just peachy with both, i remember my 5900 and it ran dx8 games really well.

    Also whats with the size, way too big, im sure that things in the computer world are supposed to get smaller and more powerful. If we had it nvidias way, in 10 years we will be back to using computers that take up whole rooms.

    I'm pretty sure that by the time we hit the next generation of DX10 cards, they will be considerably smaller and use less power. We had been hearing for quite some time now that the first generation of DX10 cards would have super high power requirements.

    I myself will be waiting until GDDR4 is implemented and the top of the line card is not larger than my motherboard.

    Doesn't it seen kind of odd that the 8800GTX is only clocked at 575Mhz on the core?

    I was kind of figuring that the clock speeds on the G80 cards were going to be much higher. 575 just doesn't seem like much of a jump up from the 7 series cards.

    I also hear a lot of people very worried about the power consumption in SLI.
    Are thier really that many people that are going to buy two 8800GTX cards?!?! That's like $1500.00 USD! Who the heck has that kind of cash for just GPU's alone?

    With this card busting out 11,000 Plus in Mark 06 on one card, I just can't imagine any game that could ever need more power.
