Just kidding it looks like a scam.

There are several things wrong with that page, memory size for one. Enjoy the red herring!

JUST IN CASE ITS NOT PERFECTLY CLEAR, THAT LINK IS SOMEONE'S GET RICH QUICK SCHEME, SO DON'T ACTUALLY GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Reviews are funny.

Pros: 12,983,249,893,843 cuda cores of graphical rendering goodiness RENDERS MIDGET PORN LIKE NO OTHER, THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS LOOK LIFE SIZED WITH THESE CARDS !!!!

Cons: It's mythical, you can hear about it's greatness more then you can see it because it's a force of nature, not a material object

Other Thoughts: I have 8 of these in octuplet SLI, it blew up my first 10 monitors it's so good"

The product seems wrong, but the site seems to be legit to me. It IE marks them as a secure site, and they do seem to take google checkout and paypal. I haven't actually tried going through checkout or anything though.

every time a new card comes out sites will jump the gun. no different here, they might even have the specs right. we'll see.

1.5GB or 3.0GB...

 

[bossqueen]

how can you find it ? It's really fuuny XD

 

[NoQuarter]

How can they get away with doing preorders for these when they will probably only get 3 or 4 to sell..

 

[blanketyblank]

why not? If they can keep $1000 from thousands of peoople for a moth imagine how much interest they'd have alone even if they have to refund everyone eventually.

No public store front would use it.

Pros: Will work in an AGP slot, DESPITE WHAT THE SPECS TELL YOU.

Cons: THIS IS NOT A GTX 480! I received a Voodoo 5 6000 with fake GTX 480 stickers. How SabrePC even got ahold of one of these unreleased cards boggles the mind, but I certainly didn't want one. Maybe I can sell this thing to a collector . . .

Other Thoughts: Hurf durf.
