We currently know that there are two R600 variants, one with GDDR3 and one with GDDR4. ATI confirmed that there will be two more variants, and gave details about one of them. The R600 "Uber Edition" will come with the highest clocked core and GDDR4 memory, as well as a liquid cooling system built in. There are two companies competing for the rights to build that liquid cooler, Asetek and Aavid. The LCS would be completely contained in a two (or maybe three) PCI slot solution, and would look like a normal video card (no stray LCS tubes, looks like normal VGA with heatsink and fan).

that card must generate some heat for it to need water cooling as standard
 
This is awesome. Id prefer Asetek or (DD) but thats because I Dont know Aavid.
 
sounds great but how the hell am i going to run crossfire if it takes up 3pci slots:eek:
 
They should sell the water cooled versions with no cooling, so that us lot with water can just buy a block to fit it, I bet blocks out now could fit it or atleast be modded to, then we would get the card that little bit cheaper and thus making me alot happier :D
