I never said it wasn't secure. My view is a simple thumbscrew works quite well and isn't nearly as bulky. wink.gif

They should really just have 6 mini displayport connectors and nothing else. It would be simple and would work with all setups using adapter cables.

Somehow they always manage to screw that up. I don't know if it's just because they don't want to include any adapters or what.

It's such a simple fix, I really don't know why they don't use mini-dp for all of the outputs. They used 6 mini-dp ports as outputs on the FirePro W600, why is it any different doing that with a gaming GPU?

From what I understand, Tahiti is able to stream six different output signals. This is how you can have six-mini-DP which I think is best IMO. Dual Link DVI takes up two of those signals for one output, hence why you see cards with 4x-mini-DP +1 DL DVI, or 4x-mini-DP and two Single Link DVI.

Most GPU's go with a dual link DVI, 2x DP and 1x HDMI like the vanilla 7970. That takes up five streams. But 6 mini-DP is perfect as it uses all available streams and you can use adapters for anything else.

I think this being a triple slot cooler is fine. The most you can ever run is two of these cards for quad-fire, so you really shouldn't need to run them in PCI-E slots so close to each other. If you can afford two of these cards, you can afford a proper motherboard to give each of the cards 16x PCI-E 3.0 thumb.gif
