If the manufactures are selling it with water blocks preinstalled it must get really hot. So the non water cooled ones are gonna have a big fan assembly on them. Nice find. Bet it will retial for more the $1,000 US.

the Price $660 is for the heatsink/fan version. The water cooled version is supposed to retail for around $800.

By the way, I posted this in the "G80 sneak peak thread (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4446)".

XFX is also selling them, i don't think theirs are watercooled tho, good for me coz i'm not going watercooled =]

XFX 8800GTS + GTX >>>View <<< (http://xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurations.jspa?seriesId=730995&productId=0)

The cards are identical (BFG and XFX) specs wise but i'm going for XFX because they're sold at scroptec =D i was really surprised to see scorptec stock the new cards so quickly. I read about them yesterday and today they have em lolz, i like that =]

I am probably going to go with the new card because price wise the 7950GX2 is 959AU while the new 8800GTX is 1050AU. Not much of a difference. It will be interesting to see some benchmarks comparing the 7950 and the 8800 =]

the impressive thing about that BFG card is that its SINGLE SLOT! not as if I'm going to buy it though, but that makes a big difference

I agree xdx, personally I'm a big BFG fan. I'm anxious to see some numbers with an SLI setup of these.
