We have been waiting for this ASUS card for quite some time; however, the problem that has been reported about it (e.g., VRM overheating) has made me reconsider getting this card unless ASUS addresses the issue publicly to ensure me that the problem has been addressed.
I am seriously considering an MSI or Saphire HD7970 card that has three identical monitor connectors, either 3 DisplayPort or 3 miniDispayPort for my Dell U2410 monitors. I would rather not use the 3 minDisplayPort cards because that would require miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort adapters or special new cables for my monitors and because of issues I have read about some of the adapters and cables not working properly with certain monitors such as mine (e.g., flicker, monitor going into sleep mode and not coming out of it without disconnection and power-off).
The NVidia Kepler G-card is also under consideration as I read somewhere that it may be in stock before the end of March. I hope it would allow me to use 3 identical monitor connectors to avoid tearing, and on a single card too.
