Yeah they are quite content with sitting on the low/mid-end and just dominating everything there.
The CPU prices alone are not really a problem, but since Intel are currently king of the Hill when it comes to gaming, you also have to buy a brand new motherboard everytime, doubling the cost of a CPu upgrade.
I really want to get my hands on one of these bad boys. If they have been known to "blow up" during tests, then I SUPER want one! It's like cracking a whip on a horse. Sometimes if it's going to damn slow, you just want it to speed up! then speed up some more! and more and more and more! until it's going so friggen fast it EXPLODES WITH AWSOMENESS AND RAINS IRL UI!
Very disappointed in this card as well as 6990. Really its not worth the money unless you going to have a Quad GPU setup which will be dam expensive! Really if you want a good card i would deffo go with 570,580 or AMD's 6970 / 5970. In my honest honest opinion i would pass this card and wait for some better dual GPU next year when they have new models or simply buy a cheaper card now runnin in SLI/Crossfire mode which will come cheaper by $100 give or take and faster.
Don't.
