Water-cooled GTX295 nearing completion

That the ****wit Demerjian hasn't written this article? Might it be because there is no mud he can sling toward NVidia on this occasion?

You see, as a first-time Zotec owner I've come to taste a little bit of their good mentality and ways to do things and am not surprised to see this very cool retail mod.

NV creates good hardware for the last 10 years that I've bought the silicon slabs from 'em and on top of that Zotec just Pwnz.

The appearance of hardware usually doesn't matter but I couldn't help myself. That is one ugly duckling of a video card! Looks like some kind of bastardized card that 3dfx would've cooked up.

agrees with aryan here. i have been impressed with many of zotacs cards. i have had pretty much every type of top end card model, as in XXX editions, golden sample cards etc and the zotac amp versions are easily up there, but usually not expensive! their 8800GT's last year had a factory OC on their base cards, yet they were cheaper than other manufacturers reference units. the AMP versions were the fastest clocked 8800GT's for some time, and again could be bought for well below the price of the EVGA, gainward versions etc.

Why do I get the feeling Luke is a proud Mac owner? "But it's so cute."

Just like with the 9800GX2 DangerDen already had a waterblock for the GTX295 just this past Monday. GJ Inquirer on doing some actual research instead of just relaying people's press releases.
