I have never seen a black pearl on the retail market. They make very few of them and are very hard to find. If I were you I wouldn't be looking at that card. From what I hear the 7950GX2 runs just fine with the stock coolers plus people have been gettting good overclocks from them. If you really have you heart set on droping abouit $1000 on video cards just buy some Evga 7900gt's SLI them and then step-up with the Evga step up program to two G80s. Hopefully the G80 will come out within 3 months cause that is how long the stepup program lasts.
