ok my bad..
one thing guys if this card is as long as it is.. forget p5q deluxe
having so much trouble with it and 9800gx2..it closes of one sata port..
That chart makes me warm and fuzzy inside. GTX 260, HERE I COME!
I hope GTX 280 outperforms 9800gx2 by a great margin. :)
After all, its shaders are 50 % more effective. I will buy it if it does very good.
Man, this is exciting, kind of like getting an 8800GTX in 2006!!!!
lol, the 280 will be replacing my 8800gtx haha!
hmmm anyone want to buy a 3 week old GX2, and an unused EK GX2 block?:D
Um yeah I think my card will pop up in the 4S section really soon..........
I have a back up on hand.

That is one long card. Will it fit into an antec p182?
That's very odd, might be an engineering sample when they didn't change the name yet.Quote:

I know I'm getting mine, unless ATi/AMD manages to pull a miracle out of thin air, which I don't see happening.Quote:

6+8 connector for power , this card is again going to be an extreme furnace. Why cant nvidia use a design based on the 9600 GT ?
Ugh, the fets on this thing are a nightmare to sink, no way to fit the under a single sink and no way for even RAM sinks due to those cercaps right next to them.
Dammit nV, put some effort to yer PCB designs!
I wonder what's the part# of the chip above the fan connector...
btw,
This card is not standard height. It's very close to 90mm - standard full height PCIe card is 98.5mm.
edit:
It would appear that:
- the mounting holes are not G80-compatible (:mad:)
- PCB is clearly ~10mm shorter and narrower than G80GTX
- GPU IHS is ~4mm larger than G80
Yea, just like the good old 6800GT times, no need to upgrade yet for me! I'll wait, 8800GTX runs great still. :)Quote:

My PSU only has two 6 pin PCI-E connectors...:(
usually the manufacturer supplies an 6 to 8 pin adapter.Quote:

The more (grounds) the merrier.
Likely the 8pin is not mandatory, just as it is not for HD2900.
What?? That's like saying why can't a Ferrari use a design based on a fuel efficient civic...Quote:

Smaller, but somewhat denser layout:
