no cooler, cant imagine why :)
piece of artwork! im really diggin it!
It runs so cool it does not need one?Quote:

Because everybody thinks there is nothing inside when nVidia shows cooler? :p:Quote:

256bit bus so maybe something between 465 & 470 sli performance.
i wonder if this is an nvidia design... i dont think so...
the dual 8pin connectors seem to be reeeaallly in the way for ln2 pots, so this is gonna be annoying...
looks good tho, its def a 470 and not 480, so that makes sense...
but im pretty sure itll be slower than 470SLI, so... i dont know how much sense it makes except for marketing so you can claim you have the fastest CARD... :D
The dual 8-pins need to go on the back for sure.Quote:

As for this over two cards... idk. I wouldn't touch this w/o a water block, and a good one at that.
i'v seen a few duel cored cards to not make it to retail.
nifty thuo..
So will this one make it to retail?Quote:

i dont think that that would be a good idea unless its really low clock but then its not a good idea, i figured that they would have waited for a smaller die to do that. also whats with the 8 chips is the back populated i thought that the 470 used 10
definitely not an nvidia board
Hey finally a way to heat my water for my shower and play video games.
galaxy is on point, their 480s clock the best and now this beast? thumbs up
looks great, but the blue pcb needs to be black.
GF100-275-A3, 10 memory chips = GTX 470 or unlockable GTX 465
GF100-030-A3, 8 memory chips = GTX 465
This one looks like two GTX 465's put together. Probably they will underclock them also to fit thermal requirements.
Yeah - this is a dual GTX465. IOW: slower than a HD5970Quote:

There is absolutely no way this can be faster than a 5970 if they keep it under 300w. The 8+8 proves it's going to be near 375W as well.
If this is not a Nvidia design, I think it pretty much proves that Nvidia won't have a GTX 490. Instead it will rely on partners making dual Fermi boards with humongous power draw. This way they won't need to stay under 300w - these cards will be like ASUS' Mars or Ares cards; produced in very few numbers and more power draw than 300w.
The only problem with this assumption is, since there will be no reference Nvidia card for 470x2; it won't be compared to a reference 5970 when it comes to "who's got the fastest card" race. This Galaxy card, if released, will probably be faster than a reference HD5970, but it's not really possible that it will also be faster than the ASUS' 5970 card running at 900mhz instead of 725. So unless they make a reference dual board that will be compared to a reference 5970, the "fastest" card will be AMD's under all circumstances.
cant wait for the benchmark
Nice design, visually anyway
no heatsink? maybe it will have a waterblock. and only a watercooled version will be in retail.
how long is this? new record?
