Anyone remember the grand daddy of all keyboards, The Optimus? The 113 keyed big beauty of keys and functions?

Well atleast I do, and its finally going public. They are accepting pre-orders from December 12. I know its gonna be pricey for all that jazzy screens it gives you for the fingers but there is no way my next upgrade is not going to include this one, or the modified/enhanced versions that come out after this.

They say its gonna cost below a good-cellphone price, let’s see the price, brr! am scared. I just cant wait to have this one, the one gadget I’ve been waiting for a year now. Hell! It appeared in my dreams too :?

Whoa, this is one big monster! Measures 27 cm in length, a long long card that wont fit in all the cabinets actually.

Now wait, what’s so special about this particular release by NVIDIA? Its the first DirectX 10 card to be released. Talk Vista and you will understand.

So it’s got dual display and S-Video out ports as I see, and the fan looks cool, a little off the usual design though.

Its got 681 million transistors on it, support for GDDR3 memory, 384-bit memory interface, yeah, 384! Its memory is 768 MB. And if you wish to buy a 30″ screen to play on, this card will do it for you, with ultra cool speed and no issues at the maximum detail at 2560×1600 resolution! Talk about Hi-Def lol.
But mind you, it is power hungry and mercury hot :P

This card’s a wall-poster for most gamers maybe, but as we know, the first newly innovated cards never perform much compared to those that follow it later on, so I’d still suggest a wait if you have the patience or lack the cash :P

Its gonna be remembered this way, ‘The card that had no crisis playing Crysis:D

Also, do wait for ATi to come up with something soon.

Full length review over at Bit-Tech.
