Nice review as always, i'm wondering if 2 of these would be cheaper and faster than a top end 680. oh btw this is the card you sat on and broke HH ? 🙂 jk

Hey Hilbert does this thing have 7.1 output via HDMI or is that only limited to the higher end cards? I've been considering building a HTPC/Living room gaming box thing, so I'm looking for something on the cheaper side but 7.1 is a must.

Hey Hilbert, bottom of page 2 it says "ASUS definitely is using their own customized PCB alright." MSI /=/ ASUS

He did that in the Inno3D review as well....at the bottom of page 2...

And as you can see there is little room left on the PCB to increase memory though. The card is PCIe gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane. ASUS definitely is using their own customized PCB alright.
