That core is tiny....certainly no bigger than a 90nm G70 :stick:
And no shim? Does that mean I actually have to try when I mount the cooler? :(

Here's an overlay of a 136-pin (or ball, or whatever....might actually be 144--it's the one on the 7900GT's PCB, lol) GDDR3 IC on top of the core.

n.b., the OUTSIDE edge of the red box is the OUTSIDE edge of the GDDR3 IC :)
The closeup of the GPU is not same GPU as the board pic ?
That's a zoom in from the pic of the entire PCB.
Hence why it's so ugly :D
EDIT: a zoom in of this pic (click if you want to see it....too lazy to rehost :p: ) http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/546_7900_front.jpg
7900 GTX 512 is set to have a MSRP of $599

I think some of the text is simply photoshopped out for some reason.Quote:

vr-zone pic says is a 7600gt core

some one must be wrong
the date are very difrents
one is feb 13th (VR pic)
and the other is today (DT pics)
btw the cards shoots from DT aren't similars
Anyone wish to flip the coin of public opinion?
Considering the core is smaller than a GDDR3 IC, it's probably the 7600GT. No way a 90nm shrink on the G70 could get it that small :stick:Quote:

Those pics are correct
some more news
a company is going to get some 4-cores sli card.
Let me guess it looks kind of like this:Quote:

Dual Core cards maybe but Quad I highly doubt..
hehhe i meant 1 card with 2 cores like the one dell had on ces
Dell's SLI set up had 4 cards.. it is just that the pairs of cards where connected.. it was a Hack job..Quote:

actually what would be really sweet would be Quad Cores in a Quad SLi set up

16 cores of POWER!
nvidia is getting lazy if it has to resort to 4 gpus :stick:
Dude that is like saying AMD became lazy when it went from Single cores to Dual Cores...:fact:Quote:

I would rather have Quad RISC than a single great CISC
As long as performance increases, I'm happy ;)Quote:

Now, with that advent of quad sli you can easily get into the area of several thousand dollars.Quote:
