This is pretty much the faster card that nVidia released for it's 9000 series! I have one of these in my computer at home, and it has 2 cores, meaning that it actually has an independent brain for each monitor I use! Heats up to about 85 degrees on hot days though, it is supposed to handle around 105 before shutting itself off.

I know! But I would only buy it if I was going to build my PC for myself, It'd probably be expensive buying it from a store

You can even get fans like Zalmal to replace the fans inside the Graphics Card so you can overclock it more or something.

I had to upgrade from 500W to 750W

This will run on a 500W if you have 1 HDD, 1 DVD, and no OC'ing

Yeah, my graphics card actually came with a Zalman fan already installed, which was pretty awesome, since most cards just have the little crappy stock fans

It's not about the length it how you use the graphics card

Some of the very high end PSUs can go over $300. Prepare to spend a lot more than you think when you're doing a large upgrade on a computer.

Quick question, even though it has seperate core for each screen, if you hook one screen up, it will use all it's power on that one, right?

2 screens = 2 seperates cores each.

1 Screen = 2 cores to one screen?

Is that how it works?

Yep, it will use both cores power to run a single screen
