Has anyone even seen this? This is the BFG version and it's even water cooled!!!! Look at the specs on this monster. Does this card smoke the competition? Talk about a Vista ready video card, damn...

1GB of RAM?!?!?! You got to be kidding me!!! Wow...
 
DAMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might as well make it an even $1,000, lol. I love it.
 
Thats one serious card! Shame you need a watercooled PC to take advantage of it...

Its also a shame theres no Direct X 10 tests you can download to test how good these cards would be on Direct X 10, yet of course, there can't be yet.

Even though it is a Direct X 10 card though, but will exceed at Direct X 9 games. Will it be like the early Direct X 9 cards, that when Direct X 10 games finally come out, it won't be able to run them very fast?
