Single slot GTX 295 comes in late May

Fudzilla: "The single PCB Geforce GTX 295, just like the one we've showed you here, is officially launching in late May. Nvidia's control freak machine could not keep these cards under wraps until the launch date, but there is little to be excited about this card.

The performance is the same, the clocks are the same but TDP should be a tad different. GTX 295 single PCB should hold the performance crown until GT300 launches later this year, as we don't expect any high end updates from Nvidia before Q4 2009. It also looks like ATI's performance DirectX 11 card won't be launching before Q4 2009 either, so Nvidia should not have much to worry about.

There is little chance we will see any DirectX 10.x cards faster than GTX 295 and single GPU GTX 285 or Radeon HD 4870 X2 or a single GPU 4890. The next step for both is Q4 2009 with DirectX 11. "

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
