    First page, second paragraph, second sentence: "Based on a pared down version of AMD’s Hawaii GPU – making this the obligatory second-tier part – the W8000"

    Think that's supposed to be referencing the new card, the W8100

    Still doesn't have Cuda so worthless to a lot of people.

    @dylan522p This is for workstation graphics, like running AutoCAD 3d Studio Max, Maya, SolidWorks. If you wanted to run software off the GPU, get a Tesla or GRID from Nvidia, you know, the GPU's you can't plug a screen into?

    Won't render Blender and won't render Premiere Pro v6. Not any use to me....even if it were $10 bucks.

    Eventually Blender's OpenCL implementation will work on AMD hardware. Luxrender works quite well from what I have heard. Also doesn't the latest Premiere Pro support OpenCL better than older versions?
