I'm warning everyone in this thread to play nice or I'll start handing out infractions. On a side note I think this is a fantastic card at a great price. If I was in need of a new card and could afford it I would buy this card. Oh and once the new cards came in, I would upgrade. That's what enthusiasts do. This is like fighting about the weather.. There's nothing you can do about it.

I for one think it's great company's push there tech.

$1600 beans I think I need another hobbie!

Never in this life time would I drop that kinda cash on a gpu!

Nice gpu though but imo not worth the cash.

Thanx for the review W1zz

I like Am*, he/she makes me smile. So much anger, so much time wasted.

The Ares/Mars cards have always been for show. You can clearly get their philosophy right in the way they pack them, heck, they even come numbered.

It's a collector's item not a practical solution. Let the collectors have them and go on.

agreed, but they also last longer than regular market gpu's... Because of their performances.

This is basically like buying a New C6 Z06 or C6-R Corvette vs buying a C4 Corvette that has to be tuned

Pricing is not the point of this card. I'll buy this card if I can and bragging around the forum just to piss the angry "enthusiasts".

Wow!

But I'm more surprised seeing Diablo III for benchmarking...
Techpowerup should've chosen a much more demanding game (even though old) like World in Conflict.

Would be fun to see what this would do for F@H. Chimp Challenge starts today.

"Low noise during gaming"

Music to my ears. All high end graphics cards should aspire to this.

Only thing which put me off buying a reference HD7970 for dirt cheap was the noises.

Chokes faintly screaming away similar annoyance to a mosquito then getting into the game the cooler starts sssssSSSSSHHHHHH.......
Either requiring a headset or having the speaker turned up loud.

Took it out and installed my HD7870 Direct CU ii again.
