I didn't realise until now that you can actually buy this card, sorry if it's a repost.  The release was initially mid January but seems to have changed.

80C isn't bad for 100% load, the Asus DCUII 290X reaches 80C at full load.

"Switches from a 770 to this"

 

Honestly I'd just SLI my 770's instead, or sell my current 770 and get it...

So nobody is allowed to mention something if it's elsewhere on the web?  OK, I'll note that for future reference.

Since i have this information for more then a week i think that somebody has already posted it...

Apparently there's an issue with the windforce cooler. I would hold off from buying for now.
