51:05 is just too good! I dont know if Patrick or Ryan are aware, but "Yamakasi" and "catleap" are both very well known terms in the parkour world. Coincidence?

The 690 was on newegg yesterday 5-3-12 for all of about 20 min before it updated to sold out. But hey, those are folks that did not get a 680, so maybe i can get a 680. Oh wait this 690 uses 2 of the gpu from the 680... so that means even less chance to get a 680 because all the parts are being used to make less cards.
