THE LAUNCH OF THE dual-PCB monster from Satan Clara is approaching pretty soon, with all the reviews going up on the June 5th, the birdies tweet.

After some sightings in Japan and Middle-East, the 7950GX2 also appears to be available in Europe. A local Croatian shop is selling MSI "NX7950GX2-T2D1GE, PCI-E, 1GB, DDR3" for 4812.12 in local currency, kunas. Since VAT in Croatia is a steep 22%, the price in dollars is $855. Minus the VAT, you get a nice round number of $666, but I guess it's just a coincidence.

The specs of the NX7950GX2 are more or less in line with all other launch 7950GXs. GPU clock is set at the default 500MHz, but MSI squeezed a bit more juice in order to get 1GB of GDDR-3 memory working at 1320MHz.

The 1320MHz clock brings the total bandwidth of the board to astonishing 84.48GB/s. Of course, we are talking about 42.4GB/s per PCB.

Anyway, the tech sounds great on paper, and we'll see how the competition will react when these babies arrive in retail next Monday. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
