Have a read for yourself, and be stunned... This thing requires TWO PCIe power cables!

I can't wait for video cards to go the way of CPUs and they actually work at reducing the power draw while increasing performance.

Yeesh...I'm hoping thats the high end model, and that the middle end doesn't need that.

If they all need water cooling, they'd better come with the resovoir and everything.

Talking Maybe

Nvidia will either A) Cater to thier fans and provide the neccessary items for water cooling or B) Act like a business who only wants $$$ and gouge them for the extra $$$ for the parts. I'm hoping the former as ATI is releasing some good products.

Nah, that won't come as standard. You might be able to buy a Watercooled version and an Air version though...

But yeah, two PCIe power connectors is pretty ridiculous to be honest. So much power...

Looks legit-ish. But this is a pretty big step considering ATI is usually the group with the huge cooling needs.
