    Yeah, pretty ridiculous price on ebay, and only very limited number of etailers have it for sale, if any. There should be more in stock starting from this week though. And yes, that picture was from a press release. I wish I could test two GTX 690s in Quad-SLI. If we do get hold of another card, we'll test that for sure.
