Their design annoys me so much. Why not extend the metal to the exhaust bracket? why does the cooler got to go past the PCB? Why can't everything be sealed off. clean and cool? SO MANY THINGS WRONG! 

AND THE 2 FANS?! OCD TIME! I know it would create turbulence, but like... D: common, science man!

Why should they change it when it works perfect?

It cools enough to do high overclocks and it's the quietest fan from all third party vendors.

Awesome. Now to wait for the 290 version.

By the way, is it me or does the cooler look really thin?

not you it does look thin

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

Dat dere backplate, HNNNG  :o

Price is going to be 5190 Swedish kronor, or about 800 $. Keep in mind that prices in Sweden are quite high. The reference 290X costs about 4700 Swedish kronor, or 720$.

Finally we will get to see the card perform at its real potential :D

Agreed. I almost bought a Direct CU II GTX 770, but I decided against it because of the boring cooler.
