Interesting slot design if that is the actual card. Not going to fit into many motherboards with the SouthBridge heatsink sitting behind the pcie slot.

Pretty sure it's just PCB design; focus is on the cooler

I have no world records, but I have some GOLD MEDALS.

Titan has nothing to offer that is worth the price.

Well that been said BeepBeep.
What's the point making advertising on a product which isn't retail yet, and even more no "real" sample to show?

I can't find the wood screws on that render
Shall we expect those astonishing features to be present on the final product?
