    Not quite the most impressive look imo, otherwise it will surely bring great performance.

    This would fit into a lot more cases than the steel'n'red design. Hopefully AMD will release this for end users as well.

    "In the future Vasquez, in the future. No point in asking unless you have a time machine."

    I don't get people asking for benchmarks weeks before actual release. Has there ever been a time when the benchmarks embargo was lifted even a second before the release? Moreover, I don't think reviewers even have the cards on hand at this time, not to mention usable drivers.

    Don't worry, we won't have usable drivers for the next 3 months as well :D

    I'll absolutely take one of those.
    It's exactly what I've been looking for.
    I don't use RGB or even have a clear side panel, so this is perfect.

    The 6800 and 6800XT are supposed to release next week. I presume the drivers and review samples are ready to go if they aren't already making the rounds.

    Ha-ha!
    I prefer to use that electricity for something useful...like powering the card's components and reducing the overall 'hit' to my power supply.
    I can put up a Christmas tree if I need colorful lights.:p

    Huh.....
    Got me to realize that someone could build a PC that looks like a Christmas tree. All of the components could be on the bottom wrapped in presents (with vents out the back where you can't see them) and then you get like a 40% performance boost because you've got a gargantuan structure dedicated to RGB, lighting up the whole room.

    Then why do you even care how it looks ?
    It could be in turd-green with accents of puke-yellow and it would be the same to you.

    Did I miss something here?
    I just got done saying I don't give a flying xxxx about RGB.
    I don't care how it looks.
    Is it built well?
    Does it cool well and perform as advertised?
    That's all I care about.
    Hence...'The I don't care if it is basic black and... or has no RGB'.
    That's simple enough to understand...isn't it?
