October 2, 200619 yr *macho grunting* Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 2, 200619 yr That's one ugly beast. And to imagine that the G80 (8X00 series) is supposed to demand 175W peak.. while ATI's equivalent, the R600, is supposed to need up to 200W peak! If the G80 needs air + water cooling, what will the R600 demand? That you constantly pour liquid nitrogen on it? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
October 2, 200619 yr Needs fan and watercooling daaaaaaang <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's just plain-ass dumb. It adds an huge addition cost to the user that is just trying to keep ahead of the game. Incorporate peltier cooling into the graphics board and have done with the water cooled portion. Thermo-electric cooling=70 watts per unit. Requiring water-cooling is just stupid. Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.
October 2, 200619 yr That looks pretty much exactly like an old Gf6000 series card with a bit of homebrew plumbing added. I very much doubt Nvidia would releease a card that required watercooling since few people have the basic skills required to set it up.

October 2, 200619 yr ...not ta mention the TWO 6-pin PCI-E power connectors!!... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

October 3, 200619 yr Water cooling ONLY makes sense when it is used for the entire system: countless examples of single unit (i.e. the GPU) water-cooled to less than what a good fan (like Gigabyte G-Power Cooler Pro or Sharkoon) can do.

October 5, 200619 yr http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4441 An article on the technical specs behind the G80. Geez, is all I have to say.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
October 5, 200619 yr http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4441 An article on the technical specs behind the G80. Geez, is all I have to say.. Dear GOD! No wonder you need to nitro-cool it... Edit: removed specs and comments, since there seems to be some speculation on the nature of the 128 "stream processors" on the G80. Edited October 5, 200619 yr by angshuman
October 6, 200619 yr I wonder what the fps would be in a game like Ut2k7 or Crysis with that beast of a card.

October 6, 200619 yr Crysis is going to eat GPUs for breakfast. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
October 6, 200619 yr I dont think Crysis is going to run well on anything less than a monster SLI system.
