    Better 2d, doesnt go by the reference design, needs extra power! , costs 500 bucks!

    I will just stick with my hercules, and its giant ram HS, look at those on that card, how does that cool it down?

    It is made of copper.. but.. not worth 500!

    I would take it over your Herc, and It will retail for 399 prob NOT 500 they always say it will be so much more. maybe 450 but NOT 500! 399 sounds good.

    The white fox crawls through the night,
    Silently hunting, and he stays out of site,
    and then from nowhere he strikes,
    and before you know it, he is there, and has posted,
    He posts in spees, he is here for a while, then rarely seen,
    but you must watch out, for he is the Icefox.
