also you can grab a used 9800gx2 for bout £85 (~$140) so this will def be a sub $200 card or it wont sell, simple as

Galaxy is releasing this card for Macs. You know, latest and greatest technology for OSX!!! *Wink*

Seriously, I would not doubt it. Galaxy can get $$$$ from all the Macs with the single GTS 250.

Its for people who need to light up their case.

With smaller less power hungry cards..that perform near or better in the same price range.. assuming it will sell in the mid range market.. I can't see this card selling main stream.
If your gong to build a card that takes up 3 slots.. why not create some freakish monster... like a 5970x6 12gb or something.

 

[-Fran-]

I kinda like the "I draw power from the other PCIe for the fans" idea. Puts the second slot to some kind of use, lol.

Other than that, unless is a dirt cheap card ($250-ish), it won't be more than the GTS240 fail-launch.

Cheers!

If this is priced over 200$, it won't sell. At 300$, youre better of getting a 5850 single PCB dx11 card.
