    If ROG was to make more graphics cards, what do you want to buy?

    I'm not talking suuuuuuper high-end because we already have that covered; more high performance (multi-GPU) gamer. What tempts your buying decisions, or what do you feel the market is missing? Doesn't matter whether AMD or NV.

    Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

    I would like to see one with ROG so you can clock it via laptop phone extra just like cpu's but then again think this has already been done seems the mb can do this stuff. but maybe quad gpu's better coolers as yeah some cards dont stay cool for long maybe a water cooled super card i dunno one can only dream up the perfect card.

    If dreaming i would like a card what will cook me dinner make me sleep at night but lets be blunt thats only a dream.

    as for future cards they just keep getting more power this making them break down easy could add error lights to future cards so you know when there broken eg just like they have on the 360 that would be handy part from that i would like some more power just hate them breaking down

    I think, what Asus ROG is missing from it's graphic card product line is the water cooling... the fusion thermo system was a great advance at the mobos, why not do something similar with graphic cards too? Or at least just simply water cooled editions of the DirectCu cards... some nice, full cover water blocks...

    watercooling, but that's a small market, multiple bios would be good, a second switchable bios with more voltage/overclocking control.

    I would probably prefere to see less. How about equipping the two top tier cards from each company with a decent air cooler and the power delivery of something like the new 7970 Matrix which would enable the cards to be overclocked by the user. One bog standard bios and one ROG bios for overclocking which could be linked to a GPU ROG exchange.

    A version of any that is $50-$100 less than the 'others'. (Rebate?)
    Match warranty with Any. (xfx ?)
    I think market share can be dramatically increased by removing 'bad press'.
    Try it.. you will love it .. $50 less than the nearest 'so-called' competitor and
    a no fuss warranty exchange .. (the later, same for the boards.)
    "We believe in the product, We stand behind the product and once you use
    one, with no risk to you ...you will too."
    The market answers the cost question with all the back models available, we
    buy what we can afford.
    When more effort, imho, should be on the brand. Buy ROG because it is ROG.
    They are the best. (And be willing to stand behind it and prove it.)

    I think it is as all ROG rigs .. what is missing ? Nothing ... just a lil tweak here and there.c.

    Personally I like the idea of factory water...if it doesn't cost a ton more. Factory water should cost less than an aftermarket block, otherwise I might as well do it myself.

    how about release waterblocks that can be mounted on the asus cards?? ( both Nvidia or AMD cards? ( just a tought nothing more ) )
    or you could do like EVGA and do a few watercooled cards ( hydro copper edittion line )
    can do it on the 680 or 670 and let ppl OC'it ( if OC'd waranty drops out )
    i se that intel have a waranty of some thing when oc and damage their cpu you can get a new one but hey just a tought.
    as of now i got 2 560TI top ( nvidia ) and i like it, but WC is temting me in a way but its always about the monney
    and a WC'd card is never cheep, just look at the evga's hydro copper card and you will under stand what im thinking of when it comes to monney :P ( 1000 - 1200 USD per card 670 series ( if i dont remember mutch wrong ) )

    I agree with most of the posts before mine. Water cooled cards would be fantastic, I am seriously contemplating WC my Rig when I manage to get around to getting the money together for it (lack of work really cramping my ability to start my 3 projects I wanna start). I will gladly pay extra for a WC card over an Air one....as long as it has RoG on it...oooh and maybe different types of blocks on the cards...hehe I wanna see the coolant running through the block in my setup.

    The thing is, I look at companies websites for what they have in the way of water gear and it's so damn confusing as to what I need to get, at least if RoG provided WC cards, it would be one less thing I have to worry about figuring out....oh and they must have the necessary bridges to come with them for the coolant(I refer to the sweet water cards roundup posted not long ago MarshallR)

    OH!! and before I forget, these bad boys need to be affordable to the masses and not released in Limited numbers...aka the Mars Cards.

    I'd love to see a Rog water cooled version similar to how EVGA does... as mentioned a few times.

    I'm very reluctant to rip apart a $200-$500 card to add water cooling and be denied on a waranty.

    The other one that would be interesting is a SLI/Crossfire of mid level graphic chips. For example, in the 5 series Nvidia we have two 580s = 590... how about two 560tis together on same board? I think someting similar for the 6 series would be interesting.
