Its overheating, super loud and ridiculously priced piece of crap. + its worth of nothing the second HD5 series is launched (which is very soon)

Of course, i did not bougth it ... i am crazy, but not too much.
Maybe is only my sample wrong, but card is regulary and permanently overheating! Temps in Idle are 70C and after 10 minut gaming reach 104C on both GPUs, and card starts to cool itself by slowering clocks. Fan is working on 100 percent, but GPUs are still on 104C ... and games are unplayable ... because overheating. There is very bad twitching in every game, when GPUs are too hot ... because this, it is not possible to OC card even 10-20 MHz ...!

Never understood it, if they released it, a long time ago, then, I may of seen the point, but by the time they did anounce it, we where already aware of dx11 cards from both camps.  And chances are even if your rich enough, you already had a TRI-SLI 285 ser up, or quad 295.....

Look, the point was to make the worlds most powerful GPU, not the most economical. The thing that is most impressive about this was that Asus broke completely away from the reference design, something I hope other vid card makers attempt to do in the future.

I'm just not sure if there is even 1 waterblock for this card. There is not much point in releasing waterblock for card that has been manufactured no more than 1000, not to talk about how many of them would watercool it.
