It isn't any longer than a 5970 is though, in fact half an inch shorter, but then again, at just under a foot long, there is no denying that is still way too long for most users.
I wouldn't have one unless I got it for free, I would sooner take 2 x 460's, or spend it on a single GPU card. There are 570's up in that price range, or 6970's, and just under, 6950. Give me those any day of the week
Yeah it's simply overpriced. 1gb 460's are now is the $180 range, which makes it cheaper. Typically a dual GPU card is cheaper than two seperately. The 2 win should be in the $325-350 range.
