Looks cool - nice to see some more advanced/aftermarket coolers.

So help me god if one of you high-schoolers makes some comment about "Ohhhh 1GB of ram on a 256-bit bus, what a waste . . ." I will e-slap you.
__________________1) That argument doesn't make any sense to begin with for a whole number of reasons (which I won't get into here) and 2) This card uses DDR5 memory that runs at an effective 3600 Mhz. That means it has roughly the same throughput as GDDR3 memory with a 512-bit interface running at 1800 Mhz. Not every card with more than 512MB of ram needs a 512-bit interface. I don't know who started this damn rumor, but it needs to end.

EDIT: Found a link @ EVGA Forums. Testing shows Crysis to use over 750MB of VRAM @ 1900x1200 and 4xAA.
