    Fast but not very realistic if it takes liquid nitrogen to cool it! But that should get some extreme gaming done!

    maybe a little more realistic with a custom phase shift rig depends on how you set it up havw dual compressor one for the GPU and one for the CPU an Uber game rig. I wonder what the bench marks are.

    Two of those, FX-60, all phase-change cooling... 20,000 3D05-marks, anybody?

    Well by going to their site here is what I found:

    Sys Specs:

    # AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 (0513 San Diego)
    # Radeon X1800 XT (512 MB)
    # DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR
    # 2 x Mushkin Redline XP 4000 512 MB
    # Seagate Barracuda 120 GB SATA
    # Tagan 480W power supply
    # LN2 cooling for graphics card

    # ATI drivers for R520 (Non-WHQL)

    It looks like the system is not very stable at 1GHz however they have posted 3DMark05 scores at a Core speed of 882MHz and a Mem speed of 976MHz, the score is: 12419 :jawdrop: Not bad

    However I am slightly surprised by the temp reading they show, they show a temp of only -79.9C. Now if my memory serves me right as far as I remember LN2 is about -196C so either their temp. probe is not linear at that extreme temperature (very likely) or the GPU is pumping out heat like you would not believe....

    Please correct me if I got anything was wrong I don't speak more than 3 or 4 words in Finish...

    I wonder what the lifespan is for a card that runs that fast.

    short they usualy die unexpectedly.

    I know this is a little off topic but has anyone noticed that modern computer hardware fails alot more often then 486 gen stuff?

    I still have about 20 working 486 cpus and have never seen one die on me wheras modern graphics cards are the bane of my existance with there failure rate :wallbash:

    I think it down to the finer manufacturing processes that they're using. You could almost throw a 486 off the top of a block of flats and it still work. Things are much mor delicate now.

    That's true, especially with hard disks (except you can't throw them off the roof, and... spelling... Even the mods are getting brainwashed into bad spelling. :eeek:

    I guess the problem is simply that the hardware we get to-day is so much more complicated. The more things a piece of equipment has to do the more possible failure points there are...

    Ahhh remember the days of manually parking the HD's for moving/throwing

    PS. if there are any spelling mistakes I'll just claim it's due to the fact that I'm Danish

    PPS. No we don't "hate to see our Carlsberg beer leave" we are after all sending you guys rubbish beer, and anyway we can just make some more :D

    They made 1ghz/1ghz before, for a 2d screengrab, but it wasnt stable.
    The card seems to clock really nice though, lets see if they can get it benchable over 1ghz ;)
    Should be do able, from the look of that picture, the cards not modded yet, so they must be using "bios" based vGPU increase rather than hard mods...
