The bigger cards get the bigger cases we need, the less room for air to flow around, simple really. I dont like the casing on that card (well it looks like casing to me), i dont like the plastic bits on the vents the red plastic bits, if it wasn't so Duplo kids chunky Lego looking it would be great because it looks like it has a purpose to let air in and out. Another thing is that big cards look like value for money but i prefer the small ones they used to make, just a little add in that gave a lot of performance, i think they should put more effort on reducing the size like they do with a die size.

The specs on ABT first surfaced on ChipHell about a month ago. The 32 ROP part is the only thing thought was improbable.

The size in the picture compared to the PCI-e insert seems like the card will be about the same size as my GTX 260 Black. It even has the metal plate on the back for cooling and plugs on the outer side. If that is the case, I give it a 4.5/5 Stars. Big, but not too big.

Hey guys wouldn't smaller NM manufacturing + bigger die size = greater heat dissipation?

Maybe that's how they can make the exhaust vent so small without to much bother?

after seeing the covered part if the cooler my comments are

Frikking huge gpu for a 40nm process = A lot of performance or an epic fail
Reminds me of the HD 2900XT again....
That was the end of the Xtreme subfix :shadedshu
I guess it stands for extremely power hungry. :p

...Why is it so hideous? That is some of the cheapest looking plastic I've ever seen on a pc part. Those red vents look like shit you'd see on a happy meal in the 90s. Even without them the quality of the finish on the rest of it is so absurdly sub-par. I'm officially considering this card nonexistent until they fix the quality issue. Maybe glossing up the main body and removing the vents would require the least redesign effort.

I am going to wait until I see Wizards review that will tell us for sure what it is like.

Poor design (for cooling efficiency).

It may well be that this card is SO ADVANCED that it runs cold and with a silent low speed fan in which case cooling is a moot point. (somehow I dont think so! LOL)

100% agree, I'm puzzled why they did not put the HDMI port and the display port were the DVI ports are as they could of opened the air out put of the card then.

Only real thing that comes to mind is to cut costs :(.

Would it blow your mind if I suggested the fan ran... Backwards!? =O

Anyway, I am largely against the high-end coolers made by both ATi and nVidia. Arctic Cooling's excuse (when they stopped manufacturing them to exhaust out the back, their primary selling point for the longest time) had to do with the air pressure difference between the inside of the case and the outside. It's certainly a thought, to be sure, though I'm pretty sure few (if any) people on this forum (including myself) are qualified to do much more than speculate on it.

Regardless though, death to those fans!! Why aren't the blades longer, anyway? Especially if they're going to utilize the side (or better yet the bottom) for intake, they don't need to leave that much space between the blades and the bearing.
