This is a wild Graphics Engine to say the least. How about a Vid Card that runs at 970 mhtz Water Cooled blazing speed? Who do the Voodoo the Gainwood CoolFX Power Pack Ultra/1600 does...

No Video bottle necks here to say the least.

OMG
That would be sweet to have. Too bad, I don't have that much money laying around.

So, what is it? Just an overclocked NVidia, cooled with water so it doesn't overheat?

I remember the old VooDoo cards, they were awesome! I don't think Nvidia can match them.

I think it's a bit stupid to overclock a GPU like that, since it doesn't cope with the real problem: the ugly bottleneck that AGP is. Even AGP8x (which doesn't work reliably most of the time yet) does not allow for enough bandwidth to effectively render anything from system (AGP) memory. So it's basically a very fast and quiet graphics card, which is way too expensive (I wasn't planning on spending that much on my computer at all, and I still need a new CPU, motherboard and RAM). But I guess a lot of people will want it anyway, probably just because it's cool to have a water-cooled graphics card.

MGiff, you don't think NVidea can match Voodoo??? Are you serious? Voodoo cards were great in their day, but they are (now) several generations behind the times, 3dfx just couldn't keep up with nVidea. They lost the tech battle. Simple as that.
