"The GPU has 448 shader cores and 1.2GB/320-bit GDDR5 VRAM with 3.8 Gbps bandwidth. You can use up to three cards in SLI and each one draws 210 W and needs two 6-pin connectors."

Have you considered the 590? It's two 580s on the same PCB with slightly slower clock speeds that will save you 250-270 bucks over a pair of 580s.

210w tho, ouch. i would love to see the cooling solution to someone actually attempting to run three cards at once

For the PC illiterate: this card is fast and slick as hell. It will pretty much run any game out there at 1080p at max settings (with a few exceptions) at a high framerate.

The answer to every PC cooling question is, and will always be, liquid helium. Sure it's not that practical, but it gets results! You can't really argue with temps as low as -220 degrees F.
If you MUST do something that isn't ridiculous to the point of stupidity, there's always immersing the whole thing in a non-conductive fluid like these guys do: http://www.hardcorecomputer.com/index.html

Well, keep in mind that this uses 2 x 6-pin power connectors. A card that requires 1 x 8-pin and 1 x 6-pin has 300W at its disposal.

Don't forget that you're supposed to use liquid nitrogen first to get it pretty cold before using liquid helium. LN2 is cheaper.

my buddy's aunt makes $87/hour on the laptop. She has been without work for 7 months but last month her pay was $8179 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read about it on this site MakeCash4. c o m

And because the helium is so cold that if you just start with that you can cause thermal shock and crack the chip.

Wow this thing draws 210 watts? Can the gaming community put some effort towards working out this whole energy crisis thing for a second? I mean we all have supercomputers in our homes and are pretty well educated.
I'm always scared to take that next step in cooling my computer. I'd definitely BS mode inclined to ovsrclock if that were the case tho.
It's called Nuclear Power. Build modern Malten Salt Thorium reactors and you have cheap, plentiful, clean and safe energy.
"This new card is built around the GF110 GPU that powers higher-end graphics cards like the GTX 580 and 570. The 580 features a fully functional GPU while the 570 is handicapped a bit. This new 560 Ti represents a further scaled back version of the same GPU.
Simply put, chips that couldn’t pass requisite testing for GTX 570 use but were still workable are being used for 560 Ti 448 cards."
Ha. It's not Limited Edition, It's the leftover scraps edition.

Great. Now do me a big favor. Test this against the 580, the 570, the similarly priced radeon card you mentioned above, and maybe a prior generation card or two, on a few benchmark tests from a handful of games. I know this has now gone from a quick blog post to an effort that might take half a day, but these are the kinds of numbers we need to decide whether it is worth buying.
I have a 580 card sitting in my Amazon box now. I'm not *that* enthusiastic about paying $500 + shipping, and would love a good sale. Maybe hopefully some day. But if something like this can come close to the 580's performance in most cases, I'd take a good hard look at it.

Honestly, I just picked up a gtx 460 for around 130 after rebate and it is currently destroying skyrim on ultra. I was really lucky to get the deal (in-store sale on cyber monday) but for those people who want a gaming PC but don't want to break the bank there are some good deals out there!
$289 isn't too bad, and a card like this will probably carry you for a while.
