Ok, that's just plain stoopid. Kind of like the guy who put a second V8 in the trunk of his cadillac. Of course it's going to be fast, but it's not fast because of any new technology, it's just brute force.

AndrewLady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox -

That oversized chocolate bar maybe fast, but it sure is ridiculous.Comment

Unfortunately for us overclockers, that card'll limit the options somewhat. I mean, it's gonna have to block any and all airflow, causing heat buildup in parts of the case, unless we run it without the cover. And even then, it'll still be warmer than a reasonably scaled card with the case on (keep in mind that most computer cases are designed with optimal airflow with the covers on, not off).

Easy solution to that one Ace. Take off all four fans, drill a 1/2" hole through the centre of all 4 chips, remount the fans. There's your airflow back, and some extra to boot

if you can afford to buy a V5-6K, why not move to the North Pole too?Comment

Please tell me the black box isn't an external power supply.
What happens when everything but that is plugged into a UPS, and the power goess out? Just curious.
I wish those guys at 3dfx would start going vertical rather than horizontal....I've got more room above my agp slot than behind it

The black box IS an external power supply - those four chips need so much current that the power supply from the motherboard won't suffice (at least that's what I read in a magazine some time ago). Now that's what I call a great design - you can grill a chicken on that card when you're hungry after a long FPS session...Comment

Is the card coming as a surprise to anybody, I thought everybody knew all this about the card 8 months ago.
