(Review) - What exactly is the purpose of releasing a new card when most games perform the same (after a certain threshold) and whatever increase in speed you get is only noticeable in "smart" applications that are designed to measure frames for the sole purpose of crowning the next champion. Does it stop us from producing faster cards? No. Do we wait for the games to catch up with the actual hardware? No. But yet, both NVIDIA and ATI continue to unleash their overpriced beasts to the enthusiast community.

Regardless the industry saga, the first thing you will notice about this card is its massive size. Then again, the card in actuality is the same size, but thanks to the heatsink, it’s one of the largest cards in the market currently. In fact, to say it’s massive would be an understatement, but fortunately, it’s efficient and that’s what ultimately matters.

Due to the large heatsink, NVIDIA implemented a significantly larger fan as well. As you know, larger fans are better than their smaller counterparts, as they dissipate more heat at lower rotations per minute, thereby, reducing noise pollution inside the system.
