Ugh... I hate to see how much the Asus RoG Ares is going to cost.. the Sapphire 5970 4gig is apparently $700us. Im willing to pay a pretty penny for performance, but sometimes.. you just dont feel like you can justify the cost :( (although I will be trying my hardest too justify it hehe).

Well there is the XFX 5970 4GB 6 Edition

Thats sweet but they cut the 4th output off :( I use 4 monitors on my single 5870. Id hate to have to fit a 2nd gpu to my system just to use the 4th monitor on occasion.

I am using a 5970 myself right now. I am using a tritton tri-uv150 usb external vga adapter. Works great for using teamspeak or temp monitoring stuff on fourth monitor while playing in eyefinity. Been using for couple months now. Works great. Does NOT show up in the windows screen properties so it does not mess with the ati stuff at all. Max res is 1680x1050 though. Does not do well with video stuff though. They do make a model that does 1920x1200. Got mine for $35. Sold at bb and I am sure other places.

anyone know release date??

Dunno but it's DAMN expensive at least what was announced on Cebit 2010 :(

yeah i heard $1000 - $1400..

of course asus makes the beast overclocker model, sapphire and xfx are priced around $1000 which is still not bad considering the geforce 8800 ultra was $899 when it first launched lol

Yeah the asus card should be around $1 204,29 but then again it's a cheap price for getting the worlds fastest graphic card :)

Problem is, today's "worlds fastest GPU" becomes tomorrows "low end"... ;)

i just realized how big the fan is on the asus ares compared to the xfx model, anyone know how big that fan is?

it looks like a 120mm..
