Too expensive, demands too much from your computer. Water cooling, {I read 500W PSU, but 450, still). Also, have you guys checked its benchmarks against the 7950GX2? The GX2 is about 1/2 the price, and they are both benchmarking very close, the GX2 wins badly on some games, like quake 4.
This link does not say that the gx2 gives higher framerates, because the res that I read it gives higher framerates was 1280 x 1024. Anyways, it benchmarks super high on 3dmark, but in games it isnt really that much better. The MSI 8800gts actually loses to lower cards even on 1600 x 1200 at time, it is super expensive. Quite embarrassing and disappointing IMO.
