This is kind of continued from Nehkara's computer build thread, but didn't want to derail that.

Interesting launch, looks like it's fairly smooth. Price point is about right for the card it seems, which is also nice to see (hopefully the days of $700 video card launch prices are dead).

300W power draw under full load though, that's pretty insane. Though I guess it's less than a true SLI/Crossfire system would be.

EDIT: Lol and still gets crushed by Crysis.
