EDIT: GOOD LORD! I hope they don't expect those things to fly off the shelves at $599.99.

I like how it says "Shipping Extra." Maybe that's because it's delivered via armoured car. Jeebus.

 

[BaboonGuy]

jeez those dual fans look really nice. too bad there's no justifiable reason (semi) to buy this since HL2 is delayed

600 bucks?! WTFFFFFFFffffffffff

Eh.. personally like the way the ATI XT looks... the feathered theme on the HSF looks neat IMO.

Link to ATI made 9800XT (hi-res)

WTH is Asus smoking? $600 for the card?!!! You've got to out of your mind. Sh!t, $400 for the card is bad enough!

 

[Perplx]

Well its does have dual dvi and vivo.

 

[rbV5]

I wonder how it supports dual DVI, it looks like DVI+VGA to me.

Because I don't believe that is the correct picture.

i think thats what cat 3.8 supposed to do

 

[splice]

wow, cheap. I'll buy 5.

At this rate, the next gen cards will be a grand a piece. I'm beginning to wonder if the lastest and greatest is worth it. I don't see a huge competitive leap in performance of this card over, say the 9800 or 5900. My current rig (XP2500, 9800np, 1G RAM) should handle d3 and hl2 just fine... I think I'm gonna hold off on any more upgrades for at least a year now... These prices are absurd.

By this time next year the XT and Athlons64's will be in the $100 $200 range. :Q

Why ? Asus always released overprized c**p ...

Looks an awful lot like the Asus geforce FX5950. And thats not Dual DVI

 

[CheetahMk2]

That is dual DVI. Haven't you seen the DVI-Splitters? They'll include that as a dongle I imagine. I think the max [individual] monitors you can have on a single DVI port is 4... [FireGL series?]

 

[vetteguy]

Dual DVI??? I'm in.

Wait, it's HOW much? Maybe I'm out.

...no, screw it, I'm in.

Wait, it's an ATI card???

Damn, I'm out.

 

[vetteguy]

Once again dual LCD users have been screwed...this card does NOT have dual DVI. From the Asus product page:

Diversified displays connectivity (Dual VGA, DVI+VGA, DVI+TV-out,VGA+Video-in,TV-out+Video-in,DVI+Video-in)
