beside the fact that its power color ( i hear they are verage )

definetly would be nice if asus made a mars , or msi did their dual lightning doo-dat with it

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.

No way i would use a GPu that used 3 slots in my case. Looking for cheap web hosting? PM me for more info.

They need bigger air-cooled heatsinks. That's the only way I can see them using 3 slots. I can't dual 2 7970x2 or 7990s with 3 slots each. I'll have to change cases if I do...
