If you say I am wrong. Then you obviously know precisely how the product runs and at what temperature. Please provide edvidence thanks.
A limited production is still a PR stunt. 7990 wasnt seen much around either for example.
Going by what you just said you must have one in your hands
It wasnt me claiming it would use less power and run cooler. Yet being rated at 2x290X.
With a decent cooler the cards draw less power which actually makes them easier to cool.
Even with that it won't help much. Look at Martin's Liquid Lab, the really thick radiators (80mm) do not perform substantially better than the normal radiators (35-45mm). My calculations were based on the EX360 adjusted for 120mm.
He said with a decent cooler, don't forget...
...which i think this card has
Why is it still rated at 500W then? And why do they have to break PCIe standards?

500w is less offensive than $3000 and i didn't see you going crazy on that other thread
If PCIe std's are so important to you, keep buying single GPUs that sip power.
Also i'm sure the engineering team saw no problems in breaking that rule
And why do they have to break PCIe standards?
Can you tell me the price of this card?
Breaking PCIe standard drasticly reduce the amount of buyers willing. It completely exclude the professional and OEM market. Plus it can void warranty on other products. (Mobo/PSU).
I am sure the engineering team saw the problems associated. But might not have had much to say in the matter.
Probably because they won't sell any of these to OEM's like Dell, HP. I think companies like that are who care about those things. To the enthusiast buying a $1000+ video card, probably not as big of a deal.

I just find it odd that they have to exclude the entire professional and OEM market for this product. The HD7990 was 375W and within specs for example. But again, they did release 220W CPUs too.
Personally I'll await the reviews before "trying" to find the flaws.
Is the release date the 8th of April?
So, you thought it was worth mentioning that the Rad was thinner than what you had calculated, but when it's pointed out that it's actually thicker than you calculated, that doesn't matter?
Suby all assumptions you came up with are wrong IMO
The rad is not thin and with that fan in the middle i think you're going to be shocked. They even raised the mhz to make sure it's better than two 290X's. But let's wait and see, just a few more days.
I don't agree. With two fans and two completely separate paths for heat dissipation, it might be entirely possible to obtain acceptable noise levels with the cooling system pictured. Obviously, we won't know until the card is actually reviewed. But I believe there is a chance for acceptable acoustics.
Yup, 500W on a 120mm AIO is going to shock me at how well it cools.
