Yep, one DVI port. Definitely a turnoff for me. They should have at least included an adapter

Looks like a sick card but MemEx doesnt carry it (well they dont have any 7870s in stock, which is kind of ****ty).

My 2408WFP is the only monitor out of the two on my desk that accepts HDMI in. However, I already hooked it up to the cable box

The heatsink cover is plastic, which is a change from previous units. Anyways, I'll definitely get the review done this week. I missed it last week because of the CPU change, and I couldn't get the benchmarks for the comparo cards done on time.

That's a pretty decent 3dmark gain from the OC.

It's a great card, and it overclocks like crazy.

Doesn't seem like a big jump from an oc'ed GTX 570 to be honest.

It's not, but the Gigabyte SOC card is heavily overclocked as well, whereas the 7870 OC is barely bumped up 100MHz.
