That sir, is a good looking card!
Can't wait to see how it performs, I have always liked the design of the Asus cu2 cards.

dtrunk · 05-10-12, 02:13 PM

yes. hideously beautiful.

Galgotha · 05-10-12, 02:16 PM

Is that fanless or hidden?

Bobnova · 05-10-12, 02:19 PM

Looks like a row of 40mm jobbies. Should be nice and loud

Galgotha · 05-10-12, 02:21 PM

Ah second pic didn't load at first, nice

and its not the 690 but a 680, wonder if the price is 690 range. found out (870 dollars)

It takes up 4 slots!!!

Nice backplate

if it was usable in quad sli it'd be horrible, its obviously been designed by waterblock companies so that if anyone buys one by accident they invest in watercooling immediately.

Look how much it sags... (the gigabyte card)

Still want it thought

dtrunk · 05-10-12, 05:18 PM

@fall: i think by that point slag is actually called slope...haha. and YES, it is a lot.

OMG look at those sexy HUGE pipes on the asus, i love that part of it. you could grind one of those down and shiv some1 if you really needed to.

Janus67 · 05-10-12, 06:48 PM

lol, look at the difference in presentation quality between Asus and Gigabyte (assuming the Gigabyte pictures were released by Giga and not some joe-schmo)

definitely a weird fan decision on the gigabyte model, that would definitely be like a toddler screaming.

That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

mjw21a · 05-10-12, 07:21 PM

I believe the Asus design is much better. Should be quieter and achieve similar clocks, not to mention its not as thick.

Bobnova · 05-10-12, 08:03 PM

The GBT has potential for far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far better temps. Especially if you ditch those fans and duct a high power 120mm fan or two into there.

mjw21a · 05-10-12, 08:07 PM

It looks like you need something to support the card though. Look how much lower one end of the card is compared to the end where the card is screwed in. Too much weight handing of that card methinks.

the Galaxy gtx 670 also looks really nice.

clubber_lang · 05-11-12, 12:49 PM

Where in the hell can you purchase one of those Asus 670's? This is the first time I have even seen that model....and you're right...it is sexy! Very cool design!

I'm guessing it hasn't been released yet as most of the time aftermarket PCBs come out a month or two+ after reference designs.
