Wonder if there will be aftermarket coolers for the back of the card? Ha.

This might go against any chance of a dual-pcb card, if nvidia prefers to have holes cut in the back for temps... don't work if two cards are back-to-back.

Should I sell my gtx 260 and wait til one of these puppies gets released? I could sacrifice gaming for a bit if it is worth the upgrade. Can always pull out the laptop and game on it or browse the web in the mean time ;)

[citation][nom]maydaynomore[/nom]Yeah, I've seen pictures of Big-Foot, and UFO's. Doesn't mean that they are real...[/citation]

True but this one is not being held by Jen so its more than likely the real deal.

[citation][nom]jblack[/nom]And if it is real, then why can we only see the underside of the board?[/citation]

It doesn't matter if it's the front or the back of the card, Photoshop works the same :) In any case, they're just trying to show the cut-out in the PCB, which can't be seen from the front.

@Nvidia- Just release it already!

[citation][nom]SpadeM[/nom]At least there are only 2 x 6-pin power connectors... and that's the only good thing i can say right about now.[/citation]


That means it can only pull 225W of power (PCIE = 75W of power, 6 Pin Power connectors are limited to 75W each).

I'm not sure if I believe this is Fermi or not.

Yah, but I think it is hard to photoshop words on chips and such. I wanted to see the top side of the PCB, because it would have the name etched in the chip. I don't think this is real anyway. If it was, I'm betting they'd be using at least 1 8 pin power connector and they aren't.

Why don't you guys believe this is real?
First...Why not. It will be released in under a month.
Second..It has been shown working since at least Jan (at CES).
Third...What other card has a PCB that looks like that one?

I thought they where moving away from dual pcb cards... ATi's been doing it for a while and even the later releases of the 295 where single pcb.
