I though this also to be fair.

I saw it an though l33t new HD 5970 that I can't afford... watched the video and after about 5 seconds realised I'd seen it a few months ago.

That's the one.

I'm sure it has been released though, it was a limited edition one. Only 1000 were made so Aria never stocked them I guess.

[Mr. Strawberry]

dont think it has because it is not on their site yet

[f12f12]

the asus ares, is the 5870X2

[Mr. Strawberry]

so is the 5970 toxic by sapphire
and this card by XFX if they ever launch this

They already did..
Aria just didn't stock them.

[Mr. Strawberry]

then how come
1 it is not on XFX website
2 no one knows what the cooler looks like
the one XFX shown at cebit never had the finalised cooler design

[Mr. Strawberry]

one that is a render of the card with the same cooler from cebit and 2 XFX said they had something special for the finalized cooler

[Mr. Strawberry]

now this is a new video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7aULCV9sfM
well newish it is just under a week old

Notice the bit where he said 'drivers' - XFX would have had to launch drivers.

I'll go investigate.

the pictured heatsink-and-fan is said to be merely a pre-production sample, with something else in store for the final retail model
