I wish mine was 12 inches

@TheIndyGamer You're not going to find much if your mine is only a foot deep.
For some reason, this reminds me of the old Voodoo6 8000 photoshop
Will my 1000Watt power supply be enough?
@chodaboy19
You will need Over 9000w
@chodaboy19
You need 1.21 Gigawatts.
@chodaboy19: Should be enough...for the fan.
Depends on what else you have in your case, but 1KW should be more than sufficient.

Please satisfy us all and get a hold of these. Then I will die a happy man.
Hm...so to run 2 of these in Quad SLI, I am going to have to spend more on a Gold certified PSU than my entire system combined...
try fitting that one of those into a mid size case......
I'm looking at my thermaltake armor case and thinking... how do I fit two of these in there?!
Someone get a Mr. Fusion!
Does no one remember the Bitchin' Fast 3D 2000?

Now you'll be able to cook twice as much pork shoulder.
the PCB is as big as a motherboard...
Ironic how nobody is asking if you can run crysis on this thing.
@blland this question is so yesterday
OOOOH LOOK EVERYTHING IS IN ROWS AND COLUMNS! This rubs my ocd the right way. I want one just for the simple fact that the layout is so straight. I do not need any other justification for buying this card. I need it now *Drool*
on a side note, my 4870x2 has been doing just fine for the past year and a half
Prototype, ladies and gentlemen. It's unlikely this will ever see the light of retail day. Perspective: 420 W is over 40% more heat than a 5970 or GTX 295.
Hey fat girl, are you ticklish? Fat girls need love too...don't be shy, you know you wanna.
Where did I put my portable nuclear reactor.
...don't cross the processors...whatever you do!
I'm an nvidia fanboy, and I really hope that they can shrink to 32 or even 28 soon to save themselves and the FERMI platform, but it's not looking good.
My next hop from an n260 looks like a 5870, unless ATI feels a need to crank out some southern islands before the end of the year.
I have no problem with compute, but at 40nm, this is a lost cause.
Good thing I got the corsair 1000W beast that can handle this card.
We can't let them build the mako reactors needed to power this.
@Cloud Strife Lol.... nope, these have 2 materia slots for powering... altough it needs black materia
Maybe BP should buy nVidia up as they both waste amazing amounts of energy and resources.
I think I need to change my pants after reading this. I'm pretty sure that if they offered this thing for sale, I'd do some pretty odd stuff to get one in my machine, and to get my machine beefed up for it too...
Thats a lot of power phases.....
And isn't the limit for the PCI-e spec 300W? So isn't this waaaaaaaay outta spec?
need to grab one of these when they are like $50 (which is i bet soon)...
:)
Yes, but can it run Doom?
When are Quantum computers coming out? By this rate the UNIVAC will seem cooler and more efficient....
