The first reviews of AMD's monster are online!

Pemalite is not impressed with that cooler, especially at such a stupid price, my wallet shall remain closed!

However it should alleviate some of the miners from the 290 and 290X supplies, which hopefully means lower prices, eventually.

Now you talk about yourself in third person ?

In any case, what this card does is be a problem for Nvidia. While it costs a little more than a pair of 780Tis on SLI while being on par with them, it has more RAM making it more "future proof" at extremely high resolutions than Nvidia's solution, unless you go with a pair of Titan Blacks, but that means spending a lot more.

And the Titan Z will be twice as much... I don't see many enthusiasts going for that card either, only the ones that want a cheap Quadro.

Price needs to be lower IMHO.
At-least at competitive levels to a couple of 290X's.

Then it would be viable to pick up one or two, chuck them in a cheaper single or dual PCI-E x16 motherboard, with the cheapest Dual-Core CPU you can buy and you have a stupidly potent compute rig for mining, folding and other tasks.
