kinda odd to start with a word like "fascists" and end with "depends on your need I suppose" dont you think?
also gamers that still debate fps below 60fps....I dont know what to say but...get with the times pls, 60 should not even be the goal anymore, 100+ should be.

You may DESIRE 60(+) fps in games, and that's fine, it's your preference, but the fact is, most games are extremely playable as long as they stay above 30fps. I know I rarely can tell the difference.

The difference between other cards doing 30 at 4K and this card doing 30 at 4K is the 980Ti can do it with alot more bells and whistles.

2x Radeon HD6950 isn't exactly 4K-ready gear isn't it? :rolleyes:
I mean 100+ FPS on 4K res isn't an easy task, even for a Titan-X SLI setup. Sure you can dream, but please be reasonable!

Is it just me or the card is unusually wider? This could be a problem for some mATX case.

It is, it's also not your average GPU and it's not aimed at small builds nor regular builds in general.

They made a fancy cooler for a graphics card that shouldn't even come with a cooler because it's in theory aimed at LN2 overclockers, guess it doesn't hurt trying to sell to people who just buy things because of fancy names.

This is one awesome card. I am still running 2 x 290X under water and will wait to see what the AMD True Fiji chips have to offer before I grab anything else. I'll keep this, the 980Ti Matrix, Lightning (if they make one) and top end Fiji in my wishlist.

Do you seriously think I mean 'literal' fascists? Oh good grief. And for the record, it's generally only serious or competitive multiplayer games that request far higher fps. In those cases, hell, at 4K you can drop some settings to high or medium, with no AA its a considerable boost.
Single player games without latency requirements etc don't need 60fps. User choice yes. I'm just happy my heaven is easier to achieve than yours.

It's only two slots wide, but it is taller than a standard height card.

I've been wondering for a while now when we can finally ditch AA... I'd think 4k is getting close. Is it?
