Yeah crazy price. But looks like the PCB has been modified to me as well and not just the cooler.

It's that shorter version that's been floating about for some time now. They're roughly the same length as an HD3870. They've pushed the PLX chip down and pushed the cores closer together. Such a shame it's so expensive and is so late, the 4800s are out soon, otherwise this would have been a great card to have.

Sweet, but no one will buy it, no one :shadedshu Unless they have a whole lot of money to waste. If someone wants a 3870x2 then get it on ebay for $300 or so, its actually worth it :toast:

I wouldn't say nobody. I remember trying to find a nice card to go in my Antec Solo case but settled on the 3870's due to the 3870 X2 was just to damn long! It would be a nice card for those true mid tower cases but your right, waste of money with the 4800's coming out soon.

MSI uses a single GPU cooler that looks similar to the reference 7900 GTX cooler on their 8800 GT/9600 GT, etc.

It's a shorter version and is fed with 2x 6pin :eek:
awesome cooler though - I wish they would market it without the card.

That is a pretty neat looking card, although it is cross dressing.

Anyone into bluray or media center pc's wouldn't waste their money on overkill like this when cards with dedicated hdmi ports cost a forth of this thing. Now if they were into media center pc's that game great too, that's a different story, but the thing still needs to be about $100 cheaper. It costs as much as a 4870x2 :confused:
