We all know that the GeForce GTX 480 is a power hog, but look at the ASUS MARSII! This thing has rows of power phases! Guess it might really need the three 8-pin PCIe power connectors!

Yeah but living out here in CA id have to turn on the AC.

I wonder if they will ever start doing tri gpu boards. Like could they put 3 GF104 chips on an 11inch board. Or even better a value version card, call it Hercules, and have 2 gf104s with 2gb of ram for $450!

I would love the 80-85F weather(according to the Weather Channel) you're having in San Jose right now dude. Try living with 110 heat everyday

That said, you can only run two of these as that would be Quad-SLI.
