I can find it in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, Canada and some other places, but not in the US.
I've never even heard of such an animal. Does the exhaust vent on that model go all the way across?

Ouch.

XFX is the number two Nvidia manufacturer behind EVGA; they branched out a year ago to also making ATI cards.

Well here's a review of them from Tom's Hardware. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...-480,2585.html

Basic rundown: They're generally faster but cost a chunk more than 5870s and 5850s, are quite power hungry and run very hot. The single-chip 480 runs hotter and hungrier than a dual-chip 5970. Yikes.


It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

I love how they pointed out all of Nvidia's proprietary software tools while trying to find something good to say about the cards .
