    650W with a 2.5-ish slot 3 fan cooler?

    That thing is gonna be loud!

    Unless… that’s just ASRock boasting about the power delivery for (unrealized) OC potential of the card.

      I didn’t even notice this when reading the article. That’s got to be an error.

      x2 8 pin would 300 W + 75 W from the connector. No way it’s 650 W with such a setup.

    It’s too bad the price did not leak. If the price is truly competitive (not like with AMD that generally offers a minor discount to comparable Nvidia SKUs), this could be a (more) compelling offer especially with rumors that Nvidia are going to crazy with prices for Blackwell.

    It’s like the old saying goes, there are no bad products, just bad prices.
